[Db] _ _ Parrot [Eb] spit, _ parrot [F] shit was shot.
[Bb] Now suppose there was someone [Eb] familiar, _ _ _ [Bb] someone that we all would [Eb] know.
_ _ _ [Bb] Embarrassing didn't always, but [Eb] _ a _ [Bb] familiar _ [F] hyperbole.
_ _ [Eb] And there would go the [Bb] secret plot.
_ [Eb] Piss that missed the hole and [Bb] the pot.
Like [Eb] some ancient teenage [Bb] dream.

soul.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
Guts, guts, got [Bb] no guts.
[Eb] And stitches don't help at [F] all. _ _ _
[Bb] Guts, guts, got no guts.
[Eb] Holes in the body, [Bb] holes in the head.
Holes in [Eb] the forehead, [Bb] holes in the legs.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ She was [F] a princess, _ _ _ much lower than people [Em] thought. _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] She could talk about things that never mattered ever.
[Em] In one person's miserable life after another.
She [F] could talk to the French and Germans at will.
They never [Em] listened, _ _ _ _ _ they [E] never _ [G] will. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] The [Em]
[A] Chinese envoy was here, the Chinese [Am] envoy was here, _ but [G] left.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] The [Em] [A] Chinese envoy was here, the Chinese envoy was here, [Am] _
_ but [G] left. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
Calling out her name, _ _ you'd be [C] surprised _ that word came.
_ [Em] _ _ _ [F] Galloping out of the darkness, _ just like _ furniture.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] We'd have lost it all if it hadn't been for Cunningly's shillion, or his [Em] gold gears.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ The Chinese envoy was here, the Chinese envoy [Am] was here, _ but left.
[G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am]
The [Em] [A] Chinese envoy was here, the Chinese envoy was here, yes, the Chinese envoy was [Am] here, _ _ [Em] but left. _
_ _ [G] _ _ In his broken heart and _ [F] pagoda. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
