Album: Her Majesty the Decemberists Song: Billy Liar VERSE I G Em Billy Liar's got his hands in his pockets A Em Staring over at his neighbor's, knickers down. A Em A D He's got his knickers down. G Em So the summer is eternity for you? A Em Sleeping in until your father's shaking you down A Em A He's shaking you down. G And the mailroom shift gets a real short shrift F#m Em As you dole out the packages, no-one seems to want you around A Em A All skullking around. CHORUS D Bm D Bm Let your legs loll on the lino D F#m Em G A 'Til your sinews spoil D Bm D Bm Will you stay here for awhile, dear, D F#m Em G 'Til the radio plays something familiar? A Plays something familiar.

VERSE II (Same Chords) All a-drifting, he's the nogood boyo Sent a-fishing for a whalebone corset frame (The only catch all day) So he sits and lets the current take him A gentle breeze will leave his pants in disarray And at his ankles laid. As he drifts to sleep with a moan and a weep He is decked by a Japanese geisha with a garland of pearls How she twists and twirls! CHORUS (Same Chords and Words) *ADD D F#m Em G 'Til the radio plays something familiar A Plays something familiar Em Plays something familiar A Plays something familiar
