D7: xx0212
Daug7: xx312

Gmaj7                         /A
From the courtyard, I floated in

     Bm
and watched it go down.

A/F#m
Heard the cup drop;

                F#m
that's why they keep them around."

     C#m7                  /B
The blackguard sat hard, down,

        A
with no head on him now,

    Dmaj7
and I felt so bad,

        Gmaj7
cause I didn't know how

    F#/D    Em
to feel bad enough

             D (Dmaj7, D7, Daug7)
to make him proud.

Gmaj7
By the time you read this,

             Bm
I will be so far away.

A/F#m           
Daddy longlegs, how in the world

           F#m
am I to be expected to stay?

C#m7 
In the night—

           B         A
in the night, you may hear me call

Dmaj7
Pa, stay your hand

Gmaj7
and steel your resolve.

F#/D           Em
Stay where you are,

            D
so long and tall.

D               C       
Here's Lola--ta da!--to do

     Bb           F                
her famous Spider Dance for you!

G               A
Lighten up your pockets!

F                    Eb
Shake her skirts and scatter, there,

  Bb                    Gm
a shrieking, six-legged millionaire

       C
with a blight in his sockets.

D
Miss Montez,

    C             Bb
the Countess of Lansfeld,

F               G       A
appealed to the King of Bavaria,

         F
saying, "Pretty papa,

        Eb
if you are my friend—

       Bb                       Gm
mister daddy longlegs, they are at it again!—

       C
Can I see ya?"

D             C            
Poor Lola! A tarantula mounting

Bb
Countess Lansfeld's 

F	      G
handsome brassiere,

                A
while they all cheer.

         F                 Eb
And the old king fell from grace,

             Bb
while Lola fled,

        Gm           C
To save face and her career

Am           Em    B7      C
You caught a fly, floating by,

D               F
Wait for him to drown in the dust;

E7          			   C
drown in the dust of other flies,

Am                     Em
whereby the machine is run,

B7              C
and the deed is done.

D              F
Heaven has no word

            E7            
for the way you and your friends

     C                  D
have treated poor Louis.

C         Bb        F          D  A   (D, A)
May god save your poor soul, Lo-la!

      G      F     Eb        Bb
(But there is nothing I adore,

Cm              G       F     C
apart from that whore's black heart.)

      D                      C
Well, doesn't that just beat all!

Bb              F
called to Castlemaine

              G                    A
by the silver dollar and the gold glitter!

      F        
Well, I've seen lots,

    Eb          Bb
but never, in a million years,

       Gm               C
would think to see you, here.

            D
Though the long road

           C
begins and ends with you,

          Bb            F
I cannot seem to make amends

    G      A
with you, Louis.

     F
When we go out,

        Eb           Bb      Gm
they're bound to see you with me.

   D                     C
At night, I walk in the park,

             Bb
between the lines

                  F
of the whispering Jesuits,

        G             A
who are poisoning you against me.

          F      
There's a big black spider

         Eb
hanging over my door.

         Bb           Gm
Can't go anywhere, anymore.

          C
Tell me, are you with me?

   D                     C
I called to you, several times,

          Bb
while the change took place

     F                 G
and then arrived, all night, 

      A
and I died.

    F        
But all these songs,

     Eb                  Bb
when you and I are long gone,

           Gm
will carry on.

            C
Mud in your eye.

Am           Em
You asked my hand,

B7       C
hired a band.

 D			F
"In your heart is all that you need;

E                C
ask and you will receive," it is said.

  B/C         Am
I threw my bouquet,

                  Em
and I knocked 'em dead.

          B7               C
Bottle of white, bottle of red.

D              F
Helpless as a child,

              E
when you held me in your arms,

        C
and I knew that no other

               B/C        Am
could ever love me as you loved.

               Em
Love me as you loved,

    B7           C
But help me! I'm leaving!

D            F
I remember everything,

E                        C
down to the sound of you shaving--

    B/C   Am
the dully-abrading black hair

      Em
that remained

        B7           C
when you clutched at me,

 D                 F                   
that night I came upstairs, half-dead,

E
and, in your kindness,

        C
you put me straightaway

       B/C       Am
with a bottle of champagne,

                      Em
and then, later, on a train.

       B7               C
It was dark out, I was half-dead.

D			   F
I saw a star fall into the sky,

       E
like a chunk of thrown coal,

      C
as if god himself spat

                B/C
like a cornered rat.

      Am                         Em
I really want you to do this for me,

         B7            C
will you have one on me?

D                  F
It was dark; I was drunk and half-dead,

E
and we slept, knocking heads,

        C
sitting up in the star-smoking air,

          B/C         Am      
knocking heads like buoys.

                   Em
Don't you worry for me!

          B7          C
Will you have one on me!

D					F
Meanwhile, I will raise my own glass

E
to how you made me fast

     C
and expendable,

                         B/C        Am
and I will drink to your excellent health,

          Em
and your cruelty.

          B7         C
Will you have one on me?

 D              F
--helpless as a child,

              E   
when you held me in your arms,

       C
and I knew that no other

                B    D    A    B
could ever love me--

Gmaj7                         A
From the courtyard, I floated in

     Bm
and watched it go down.

A/F#m
Heard the cup drop;

                F#m
that's why they keep them around."

     C#m7                  B
The blackguard sat hard, down,

        A
with no head on him now,

    Dmaj7
and I felt so bad,

        Gmaj7
cause I didn't know how

    F#/D    Em
to feel bad enough

             D 
to make him proud.

      D7                  D
Well daddy longlegs, are you?

D7                  D
Daddy longlegs, are you?

D7                      Gmaj7
Daddy longlegs, are you proud?
