[D] [Dbm] [D]
[A] On a steamer bound for Baltimore I said that's no fun I've been there before
So I just shipped [D] near [A] Singapore With a cook from Mexico
I got me a bowl of shark fin soup I ducked into a bar, [E] got a couple [A] of scoops
Played some Texas Jive with the circus troupe And they cleaned me out of dough
[E] Cleaned me out of dough [A] Don't let [E] the truth get [D] in the [A] way of baby
[D] glory No harm, no [E] fun, no [A] crime
Don't [E] let the truth get [D] in the [E] way of [A] baby [D] glory
It'll get them [A] every [E] time [A] After all they [D] all went [A] back to bed
So I went to [E] Borneo instead [A] Had a hair of the dog [D] from me [A] shrunken head
With the sultan of Brunei Had a small bit [D] of a [A] seizure
On the way to [E] Micronesia [A] Got a five case [D] of amnesia
[A] I forgot to say goodbyes Forgot to [E] say [A] goodbyes
Don't [E] let the truth get [D] in the way [E] of baby [D] glory
No harm, no [E] fun, no crime [A] Don't [E] let the truth get [D] in the [A] way [E] of baby
[D] glory It'll get them [A] every
[E] time
[A] So I went to [Abm] Pakistan On the way to Iran
I took a trip in Jamaica To work in Montana
I spent some time in Fragoso To [Ab] Carriapoo
I climbed my tippy-toe In [B] darkest Peru
Had a [A] fight with the force And played pool with the queen
With some suckles on a synchronized swim team
I once had a job riding bulls in [Bm] Montana I [A] taught Jimmy Hendrix to slap bang Havana
Into [Bm] Morocco, Malawi, [A] Macau I know how to fly but I won't tell you [Bm] [A]
[D] [E] [A] how
Don't let the truth get [D] in the [E] way [A] of baby [D] glory
No harm, no [E] fun, no crime [A] Don't [E] let the truth get [D] in the way [Gbm] [Em] of baby
[D] glory It'll get them [A] every [E] time
[A] For the night, I bought [D] Coca-Cola [A] From a [E] Congolese hard-roller
[A] I deported [D] from Angola [A] To a castle on the Rhine
Ask [D] anyone that knew [A] me The Amir of [E] Bahrain sued
[A] I was in some [D] blockbuster movie [A] And I [Ab] didn't [A] make a [N] dime
[A] [E] Don't let the truth [D] get in the way [E] of baby [D] glory
No harm, [E] no fun, no crime [A] Don't let the [E] truth get in [D] the way [A] [E] of baby
[D] glory It'll get [A] them every [E] time
[A] Don't let the truth [D] get in the [A] way [E] of baby [D] glory
No harm, [E] no fun, no crime [A] Don't let the [E] truth [D] get in the way [E] of baby
[D] glory It'll get [A] them every time
