You'd be surprised if you
D/b 
looked through the eyes of a
D/a 
nova
A 
Em 
not recognizing the
G 
molehills on top of the
Bm 
star
Bmsus2

D 
Cheerful and
D/c 
swollen he
D/b 
waves from his
D/a 
seat in a
E7 
Rover
 
that is his
G 
car

 
You wouldn't
D 
doubt him shake the most
D/b 
powerful hands of im
D/a 
portance
A 
Em 
changing the world as we
G 
know it by leaving his
Bm 
ink
Bmsus2 
Bm 
Bmsus2 
 
to
D 
judge from the
D/c 
fence 'round his
D/b 
house he must
D/a 
love all his
E7 
children
 
that's what you
Gm 
think

 
but there's
D 
no time to think
 
have a
Asus2 
pill and a shrink
 
just don't
Em 
show us
G 
how you
D 
sweat
 
making love to your
Asus2  
kids
 
is the last love that
Em 
you will
G 
ever
D 
get

 
you're a
A 
vanishing image of
Em 
what I
G 
thought I
A 
knew
 
but it comes to
F7 
show
 
that the
D 
man
A 
I
E7 
know -
G 

 
is kissing that
D 
cheek that she had lifted
D/b 
up for her forty first
D/a 
birthday
A 
Em 
love is when someone you
G 
trust cuts a smile in your
Bm 
face
Bmsus2 
Bm 
Bmsus2 
D 
boy had a
D/c 
dog and poor
D/b 
girl had a
D/a 
stroke like an
E7 
earthquake
 
now dog is a
Gm 
bird

 
but there's
D 
no time to think
 
have a
Asus2 
pill and a shrink
 
just don't
Em 
show us
G 
how you
D

making love to your

has a

fa
A 
ding
E7 
glow
 
in a

lamp
E7 
shade
G 

D 
Tell me lamshade the
D/c 
truth did you
G 
cover his
Bm 
soul
 
did you pro
B 
tect all the horrible
D/a 
I shall tear you a
B7 
part so that everyone
Bm 
knows
 
what he's been
C 
carrying
C/c 
around
D 

D 
Tell me lampshade what
D/c 
is it you're
G 
trying to
Bm 
hide
 
under your
B 
stinky old corduroy
D/a 
I shall rip and be
B7 
shattered by the shrapnell of
Bm 
light
 
that I've been
C 
choking
C/c 
on always
D 

D 
There's a dog barking
D/c 
close within the
G 
range of my
Bm 
ear
 
sounds like he
B 
wants to escape the chain
D/a 
He would probably
B7 
bite me to death if he
Bm 
could
 
but the
C 
chain
C/c 
lets me spit in his
D 
face

D 
Like the dog has a
D/c 
chain clinging
G 
tight to it's
Bm 
neck
 
this man is
B 
tied to his secrecy
D/a 
I would like to have
B7 
killed him off in this last
Bm 
verse
 
but in
C 
stead I
C/c 
removed his lamp
D 
shade
