[G] [D]
[G] Well, I'm back to make your face [Dm] so it [G] smiles once again
And harpoon you like a whale [C] with a bent and rusty [D] nail
If [G] your husband knew, he'd say [Dm] that you're living in [G] sin
Well, if grinning is a sin, that's [C] the reason I'm [D] here
[C] Back with you, [A] Mrs.
Blee
Sleep on, dear, deep and easy, [F] your nightman is here
I'll steal your dreams for [A] my shiny gold chain
And you'll wake [Em] with [F] your eyes full of rain
Finding I've [D] disappeared
I [G] don't think of yesterday, [Dm] merely drum out the [G] sound
But forgetting you was hard, [C] that's why I'm [D] back in town
[G] And you've had a loveless week, and [Dm] the world's [G] let you down
But I'll make it up somehow, there [C] are ways, Mrs.
[D] Brown
[C] That's why I'm back [A] in town
Sleep on, dear, for the night [F] wouldn't dare interfere
And [Dm] the ghost from [A] my cigarette play
On the ceiling [F] and time drifts away
[Dm] With the burdens [D] it bears
Remember [Gm]
me, [D]
I've already [Gm] forgotten you
And make your beds for me, for [G] the things [F#] we ought not to do
[G#] Drive us all, Brown the Bent
[N]
