[E] Standing on water, casting your brave while the eyes of the other with an iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist, you were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
[F#m] Freedom, [E] just around the corner from you, [A] but retreat so [B] far, oh what [E] good will it do?
[A]
[E] [B] Joker [E] man, dance to [A] the [E] nightingale tear, birds [A] fly high by the light of the [G#m] moon, oh, [E] oh, oh, Joker man
So swiftly the sun sets in the [A] sky, you [E] rise up and say goodbye to no one
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread, both of the feet so full of dread, you don't show one
[F#m] Shedding [B] off one [E] more layer of skin, [F#m] keeping one step [B] ahead of the [E] persecutor within
[A] [B] Joker [Em] man, dance to [A] the [E] nightingale tear, birds fly high by [A] the light of the [G#m] moon, oh, [A]
[B] oh, [E] oh, Joker man
You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds, manipulator of the crowds, you're a dream twister
You're gonna solve a manga mora, but what do you care?
Ain't nobody there who'd want to marry your sister
[F#m] Friend to [B] the martyr, a friend to [E] the woman ashamed, [F#m] you look into the furry [E] furthest, see the rich man without any [A] name
[B] Joker [Em] man, dance to [A] the [E] nightingale tear, birds fly high by [A] the light of the [G#m] moon, oh, [A] [B] oh, [E] oh, Joker man
Though the book of love it includes in Deuteronomy, the law of the jungle and the sea are you only teachers
In the smoke of the twilight, on a milk white ski, Michelangelo indeed could have covered out your features
[F#m] Resting in [B] the fields far from [E] the turbulent space, [F#m] half asleep near the [B] stars with the small [E] dog licking your face
[A] [B] Joker [A] man, dance to the [E] nightingale tear, birds [A] fly high by the light of the [G#m] moon, oh, [A] oh, [B] oh, [E] Joker man
While the rifleman's talking, seeking a name, preacher man seeks to sing, look at her first as uncertain
Night sticks and water cannons, steel goss, peddler, mullet, turf, cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
[F#m] Falls hard to [B] judge, it's dying in [E] a website they spin, [F#m] only a martyr of [B] time till night [E] comes stepping [A] in
[B] Joker [A] man, dance to the [E] nightingale tear, birds fly [A] high by the light of the [E] moon, oh, [A] [B] oh, oh, [E] Joker man
It's a shadowy world, skies a sleepery grave, a woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
You put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat, [A] take the motherless children off the [E] street and place them at the feet of a harlot
[F#m] Oh, Joker [B] man, you know [E] what he wants, [F#m] oh, Joker [B] man, you don't [E] show any [A] response
[B] Joker [A] man, dance to the [E] nightingale tear, [G#m] birds [A] fly high by the light of the [G#m] moon, oh, [A]
[B] oh, [E] oh, Joker man
