As recorded by Johnny Flynn (From the 2008 Album A LARUM) [Intro] G Em Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em Cadd9 G Cadd9 G [Verse 1]
G                                         Em
You're one of those elephant hunters from Ebbsfleet

C                        G
Primordial soup of a man

      D                       Em
And I know the trouble you've gotten in

    Cadd9                            G
And leave this trouble half-cottoned down
[Chorus]
D                                   Em
If I know better, I don't know better

G                                    Cadd9   
If I know better, I don't know better
[Verse 2]
G                 Em
The pigeon's half-alive

    Am7                G
The other halfs' in bed

                              Em
We'll pray for the pigeon, or half, at least

    Cadd9              G
And pray he's not half-dead
[Chorus]
   D                                Em
If I know better, I don't know better

G                                   Cadd9
If I know better, I don't know better
[Slide Guitar Solo] G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G C Bb Cadd9 G D G D G Em Cadd9 G Cadd9 G [Verse 3]
G                        Em
The bartender looks like George Best

    Cadd9        G
Plenty of them do

                     Em
Look at the way that George went astray

        Cadd9                  G
And has since been misconstrued
[Chorus]
   D                                Em
If I know better, I don't know better

   D                G               Cadd9
If I know better, I don't know better
[Verse 4]
    G                          Em
Got caught in a sacrilegious embrace

      Cadd9                G
We're entrepreneurs in the field

G
Till' we rolled on the bones and we made them our own

        Cadd9                        G
And the road to contention was sealed
[Chorus]
   D                                Em
If I know better, I don't know better

G                                  Cadd9
If I know better, I don't know better
[Outro] Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
