Chords

[Verse 1]
B                               A
There's a tramp sittin' on my doorstep

F#                   E
Tryin' to waste his time

B                     A
With his mentholated sandwich

F#                      E
He's a walking clothes line

B                           A
And here comes the bishop's daughter

F#            E
On the other side

B                     A
She looks a trifle jealous

F#                            E
She's been an outcast all her life
[Chorus]
                  F#
Me, I'm waiting so patiently

A              B
Lying on the floor

                          A
I'm just trying to do my jigsaw puzzle

                    B
Before it rains anymore
[Verse 2]
B                            A
Oh, the gangster looks so frightening

F#                      E
With his Luger in his hand

B                           A
When he gets home to his children

F#             E
He's a family man

B                           A
But when it comes to the nitty-gritty

F#                  E
He can shove in his knife

B                            A
Yes, he really looks quite religious

F#                           E
He's been an outlaw all his life
(Chorus) [Verse 3]
B                            A
Oh, the singer, he looks angry

F#                      E
At being thrown to the lions

B                           A
And the bass player, he looks nervous

F#                 E
About the girls outside

B                           A
And the drummer, he was shattered

F#                 E
Trying to keep up time

B                           A
And the guitar players look damaged

F#                              E
They've been outcasts all their lives
(Chorus) [Verse 4]
B                           A
And as twenty thousand grandmas

F#                        E
Wave their hankies in the air

B                           A
All burning up their pensions

F#                      E
And shouting, "It's not fair!"

B                           A
There's a regiment of soldiers

F#               E
Standing looking on

B                           A
And the queen is bravely shouting,

F#                      E
"What the Hell is going on?"

B                           A
With a blood-curdling "tally-ho"

F#                      E
She charged into the ranks

B                           A
And blessed all those grandmas who

F#                                    E
With their dying breaths screamed, "Thanks!"
[Chorus]
                  F#
Me, I'm waiting so patiently

A              B
With my woman on the floor

                          A
We're just trying to do my jigsaw puzzle

                    B
Before it rains anymore
