Start Jamming...
[A#] [F] [F#] [D#m] [F]
[A#m] [F#]
[C#] [F]
[A#] I haven't met a locked [F#] door yet
That I [Gm] couldn't beat
On a chain around [F#] my neck
I keep my skeleton [A#] key
Don't waste your worry on [F#] me
I'll always find what I [C#] need
Come and go as I [F] please
I've got my skeleton [A#] key
Don't waste [A#m] your worry on [F#] me
I'll always find what [Gm] I need
Come and go as [F#] I please
I've got my skeleton [A#m] key
But I know it's just a [F#] simple trick
Not [C#] much to see
You hear that some players [F] catch and play
Then turn [A#m] the key
But I've found [F#] working well
Everywhere [Gm] I've been
Cause [F#] everyone's got some place
Don't wanna be let [A#m] in
Don't waste your worry on [F#] me
I'll always find what [C#] I need
Come and go as [F] I please
I've got my skeleton [A#] key
Don't [A#m] waste your worry on [F#] me
I'll always find what [G] I need
Come and go as [F#] I please
I've got my skeleton [A#] key
Along the way
[F#] The old men call me by my [C#] mother's name
She looked [F] just the same, they [A#] say Children wait
[F#] Or hide behind their mother's [Gm] skirt so frayed
Strangers [F#] here still seem [A#m] strange
They hear the [F#] accents
Know I'm from nowhere [C#] near
But I speak the language
[F] And I know the customs [A#m] here
I come from over [F#] the horizon
Pass through every [Gm] dozen years
Go home, tell of my [F#] arrival
The skeleton [A#m] key
Don't waste your worry [F#] on me
I'll always find what [C#] I need
Come and go as [F] I please
I've got my [A#] skeleton key
Don't [A#m] waste your worry [F#] on me
I'll always find what [G] I need
Come and go as [F#] I please
I've got my skeleton [A#m] key
I've got my
[F#] My skeleton, my skeleton [C#] key
[F]
[A#m] I've got my [F#] skeleton, my skeleton [G] key [A#m] Yeah
Don't waste your worry [F#] on me
I always find what [G#] I need
Come and [C#] go [F] as I please
I've got my skeleton [A#m] key
Don't waste your worry [F#] on me
I always find what [D#] I need
Come and go [F#] as I please
I've got my [A#m] skeleton key
Lord, you [F#] always start [C#] your worry [F] on me
[A#] Cause [A#m] I'll make [F#] my way with [Gm] my skeleton [D#]
[F#] key
