[Verse 1]
Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 Spent some time feelin inferior Riff D Standing in front of my mirror Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 Combed my hair in a thousand ways Riff D But I came out looking just the same Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 Daddy said, son, you better see the world Riff D I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 But remember one thing dont lose your head Riff D To a woman that'll spend your bread G* D G* D G* D G* D So I got out
[Verse 2]
Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 Paris was a place you could hide away Riff D If you felt you didn't fit in Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 French police wouldnt give me no peace Riff D They claimed I was a nasty person Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 Down along the left bank minding my own
Riff
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot Riff D When all I wanted was a cup of tea G* D G* D G* D I was accused I moved on
[Verse 3]
Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 Down in rome I wasnt getting enough Riff D Of the things that keeps a young man alive Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 My body stunk but I kept my funk Riff D At a time when I was right out of luck Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 Getting desperate indeed I was Riff D Looking like a tourist attraction Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 Oh my dear I better get out of here Riff D for the vatican dont give no sanction G* D G* D I wasnt ready for that, no no G* D I moved right out east yeah!
[Verse 4]
Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 On the peking ferry I was feeling merry Riff D Sailing on my way back here Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 I fell in love with a slit eyed lady Riff D By the light of an eastern moon Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 Shangai Lil never used the pill Riff D She claimed that it just aint natural Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 She took me up on deck and bit my neck G* D Oh people I was glad I found her G* D G* D G* D Oh yeah I was glad I found her
[Verse 5]
Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 I firmly believe that I Riff D didnt need anyone but me Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 I sincerely thought I was so complete Riff D Look how wrong you can be Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 The women Ive known I wouldnt let tie my shoe Riff D They wouldnt give you the time of day Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet G* D God I was glad I found her Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 And if they had the words I could tell to you Riff D To help you on the way down the road Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 I couldnt quote you no dickens, shelley or keats Riff D cause its all been said before Dsus2 Cadd9 G6 Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off G D You didnt have to come here anyway
