Am                    Bdim
 First time I saw the Baron's claw

E7                Am
 Gold and silver, bits of iron ore

Am                        Bdim
 Heads peering 'round the screen door

E7             Am
 We all said, "Cor"

       Am      Bdim
They'd just installed the first phone

E7      Am
 At the ancestral home

Am                      Bdim
 And silhouetted by the fire, I saw

E7              Am
 A phone in the claw
[Chorus]
C                     E7/B
 And all the children cried with joy

Am       Am7/G    Am6/F#
 As they ran alongside

    F                  C
The big black car sped by

               E7
Steered by the Baron's claw
[Verse 2]
Am                  Bdim
 Next time I saw the Baron's claw

E7                        Am
 It's ripping through the grocer's door

Am                            Bdim
 He saved the family from the fire's roar

E7           Am
 The Baron's claw

        Am     Bdim
As his skin melted on the street

E7         Am
 The Baron swayed on his feet

Am         Bdim
 And held aloft the claw

E7             Am
 We all said, "Phwoar"
[Chorus]
C                     E7/B
 And all the children cried

Am   Am7/G       Am6/F#
 And walked alongside

F                C
 As the car went by

             E7
Carrying the Baron's claw

C                   E7/B
 Stories never grow old

            Am     Am7/G        Am6/F#
When there's still things to be told

F             C
 Things to be told

         E7
About the Baron's claw
[Instrumental] | Am | Bdim | E7 | Am | | Am | Bdim | E7 | Am | [Chorus]
C                     E7/B
 And all the children cried

Am   Am7/G    Am6/F#
 And ran alongside

    F                  C
The big black car sped by

             E7
Carrying the Baron's claw
[Outro]
Am                  Bdim
 Last time I was in Baron's court

E7                         Am
 I caught a whiff of molten iron ore

Am                         Bdim
 Through the cracks of the old forge door

E7                  Am
Glow of the Baron's claw
