Robyn Hitchcock – The Lizard (Guitar)

A             Em
You wear the lizard's shoes

     D7             C      G
And afterwards you get confused

A             Em
You wear the lizard's coat

     D7             C      G
And afterwards you fail to float

A             Em
You wear the lizards's mask

     D7              C      G
But look who's lying in the cask

A             Em
You wear the lizard's skin

   D7            C      G
No man can be a god and win

    A Em D7 C G
it all

A             Em
You take the lizard's path

     D7              C      G
But look who's lying in the bath

A             Em
And when the clocks have stopped

        D7                C      G
You'll find out what the lizard dropped

A             Em
You know the lizards's won

     D7                C        G
But you can't work out how it's done

A          Em
The lizard is your friend

    D7              C    G
And will be til the very end

    A Em D7 C G
of time

A          Em
You lie beneath the stars

     D7              C          G
The lizard knows how high they are

A             Em
The stars are out of reach

    D7             C    G
The lizard lingers on a beach

A             Em
The stars are out of date

     D7             C     G
The lizard had them on a plate

A         Em
You vomit in the shed

    D7                C          G
The lizard got there first he's dead

     A Em D7 C G
and gone
