[C]
I've shown him the night [F] somewhere near
Blue [D]
turned into green, then [G] it was red
[C]
I've surrendered my love [F] you to save
The [D]
lie I saw in the night was a penny [G] I gave
[Em] [G] When [C] the trumpet played, the sea sinking swift
I got off right [G] away
Just when the bell on the big banjo tolled
I knew that all the birds like [C] to sing
But you, [F] dear, you're silly [C] and gay
Well, [F]
play, play, [G] play it all the time
[C]
Well, I'm just a gay bastard
First I thought it a dream that I [F] was in
[D]
Lost, lost in a sea of [G] glass and gin
But [C]
no, no dipping my hand in the back of [F] my jeans
[D]
I grabbed a handful of corn to feed [G] the misty
[Em] [G] I [C]
ate the seeds in his head
And I got off right away
[G] Just when the bell on the big banjo tolled
I knew that all the birds [C] like to sing
[F] But you, dear, you're [C] silly and gay
[F] Well, play, play, [G] play it all the [C] time
Well, I'm just [G] a gay [C] bastard
And I ate the seeds in his head
And I got off right away
[G] Just when the bell on the big banjo tolled
I knew that all the birds [C] like to sing
But you, [F] dear, you're silly [C]
and gay
Well, [F] play, [G] play, play it all the [C]
time
[Dm] Well, I'm just a [G] gay bastard
Well, [C] I'm [G] just a [C] gay bastard
