****************************** | h Hammer-on | br Bend and release ****************************** [Verse 1] (Play the intro riff)
A       Am7
There she blows, Jacques Cousteau

A       Am7
Hear her sing so sweet and low

A       Am7
Lull me overboard, out cold
Gathered in and swallowed whole [Chorus]
F
Do I want to with all that charm?

                    G
Do I want to twist my arm?

Do I want to twist my arm?
[Verse 2]
A       Am7
You just hit me where I live

A       Am7
I guess it looked quite primitive

A       Am7
What was that supposed to prove?

A       Am7
Throw the calf or he'll throw you
[Chorus]
F
Do I want to with all that charm?

[Main Riff] [1st Solo] (Over the main riff) [Verse 3] [Main Riff]
A       Am7
Sucked in by the victim world

A       Am7
Thirsty as a cultured pearl

A       Am7
Culled and wooed, bitten, chewed

A       Am7
It won't hurt if you don't move
[Chorus]
F
Do I want to with all that charm?

                    G
Do I want to twist my arm?

                    G
Do I want to twist my arm?
[Main Riff] [Bridge]
 D
Yeah; Musical chairs, double dares, memorized stairs

D
Shooting off flares, springtime hares, broken-down mares
[Main Riff] [Bridge]
D
Yeah; Cowered phones, big soup stones, prideless loans

D
Grill-sick crows, motel moans, and big fat Jones
[2nd Solo] [Chorus]
F
Do I want to with all that charm?

                    G
Do I want to twist my arm?

[Main Riff] [Verse 4]
A       Am7
Martyrs don't do much for me

A       Am7
Though I enjoy them vicariously

A       Am7
After you, no, after me

A       Am7
No, I insist, please, after me

A       Am7

[Solo 3 to end]
