[G]
Harry was a rich young man who would [C] become a [G]
priest.

[C] He did it with tarot [G] cards [A] and a [C]
mystically [G] attuned mind.
[A] And [C] shortly [G] there and after he [D] did find
[G]
Jeannie was a spoiled young brat, [C] she thought she [G] knew it all.
She smoked mentholated cigarettes [C] and had [G] sex in the hall.
[A] But [C] she was [Gm] not my sign, [C] or any other [G]
kind
[A] of [C] animal [G] that I would [D] be about.
[G] But you keep hanging round [C] me and I'm not
so glad you [G] found me.
You're still doing things that I [D] gave up years ago.
Oh, [G] you're still hanging round me [C] and I'm not
so glad you found [G] me.
You're still hung up on things that I gave [D] up years ago.

Raymond was a stranger who had [C] come from [G] parts unknown.
He had no hair upon his head [C] so he did not use [G] a comb.
But desperately wished for it and every day did bathe.
And when at last he found himself his dirt was [D] clean the sage.
[G] Catherine was a bit surreal she [C] painted all [G] her toes.
On her face she wore dentures [C] clamped tightly [G] to her nose.
[C] And when she finally [G]
spoke [A] her [C] twang her [G] glasses broke.
[A] [C] No one else [G] could smoke while she was in [D] the room.
But [G] you keep hanging round me [C] and I'm not
very glad you [G] found me.
You're still doing things that I gave [D] up years ago.
Oh, [G] you're still hanging round [C] me and I'm not
so glad you found [G] me.
You're still doing things that I [D] gave up years ago.
[G] Off the herald angel sang [C] and reached out for [G] a phone.
And plucking it with ivory [C] hand dialed long distance [G] home.
[A] But [C] it was [G] all too much [C] sprinkling [G] angel dust
[A] [C] to A [G]&T who didn't [D] wish you well.
Not at all but but [G] but you keep hanging round [C] me and I'm not
so glad you found [G] me.
You're still doing things that I [D] gave up years ago.
Oh, [G] you're still hanging round [C] me and I'm not
so glad you found [G] me.
You're still doing things that I gave [D] up years ago.
[G] You're still hanging round [C] me and I'm not no no glad you found [G] me.
You're still doing things that I gave [D] up years ago.
No no no [G] no.
