They Might Be Giants – Three Might Be Duende (Guitar)

    A              F#m
The Monochrome Martinet,

                Bm                    E
His texture is starch, the song is a march,

             A                         F#
And from the beginning, his duende was winning,

     Bm 
But though he's a worty emcee,

      Bm 
He'll never be part of the three,

D       E    A        F#m
Orpheum act, Faustian pact,

G                         D       A
Three might be duende, in fact.

D                Bm
Necropolis Blownapart,

          Em               A
A ghostly sight, emerges bright,

              D                      B
Hot from the embers, the first team member,

    Em 
Is hatching a dasterdly plan,

       Em
Like a bird with a dasterdly egg,

G               A     D            Bm
Trapped in his time, lost in his rhymes,

C          G         D
One might duende defined. 

G                Em
Apocryphal Espadrille, 

                Am                   D
The shaper of dreams, returns to the scene, 

       G                     E
No diorama, could match his drama,

   Am
A smile that would frighten the blind, 

     Am
The incubus freezes the mind,

C               D     G             Em
Fooled by his charm, right off the farm,

F                C         G
Sound Might Be Duende's alarm.

C                  Am
Dystopio Smashedtobits,

              Dm                    G 
The keeper of dust, the builder of rust,

            C                     A
When you discover Sleep's older brother,

     Dm       
The trio is finally complete,

     Dm
The trio has just one conceit, 

F               G      C               Am
Forged by their past, first in their class, 

A#
Three might be duende, (Three might be duende)

A#
Three might be duende, (Three might be duende)

A#              C          F
Three might be duende, at last!
