The Amorous Humphrey Plugg Chords by Scott Walker

[D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hello, Mr.
Big Shot
[E] _ [Am] Say, [Em] _ [Bm] _ you're looking smart
[E] _
I've [Gm] had a tiring [F] day
I took the [Em] kids along to the [A] park _ _
[D] _ You've become a stranger _
Every [A] _ _ _ [G] night with the boys got [A] a new suit
_ [G] That old smile's come back [D] and I kiss
The [Em] children [C] goodnight [D] and I slip
_ [F] Away on the [G] newly [E] waxed floor _ _ _ _
I've [Am] _ become a giant _ _ _
_ [B] I've [E] filled every street _
I [Gm] dwarf the rooftops, [F] I hunch back the most
[D] [Em] Stars dance at my [A] feet _ _
[D] Leave it all behind _ me
[A] _ Screaming _ [G] kids on my knee [A] and the telly
_ _ [G] _ Swallowing me [D] and the _ neighbors
[C] Shouting next door [D] and the subway
_ [F] Trembling the roller [E] skate floor
I _ _ _
_ [A] see the [D] buildings blazing with [E] moonlight
In [A] Channing Way
Their very eyes seem to suck [D] you in with their laughter
[E] _ They seem [A] to say _
_ [F#m] You're alright [Em] _ now
[F#m] So _ stop [E] a while behind [D] our smile
In Channing [Em] Way
[D] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ Oh, _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
to dive kisses, _ _ _ [G#] _
[E] ecstasies and charms
_ _ _ [Gm] Pavements of [F] poets will write that I [Em] died in nine angels' [A] _ arms
[D] And they all were smiling
_ [A] Still _ _
_ _ [G] seductive as [A] sin in their eyes
[G] The man I had been
[D] No more hard [C] luck stories to wear
[D] _ Nothing left [F] to give
Why the hell should [E] I _ _ care?
_ _ _ [A] And owes my smile [D] and marries my shadow
[E] _ In Channing [A] Way
And with her a celibate size
The [D] gasoline of the [E] candles _ begs me [A] to say
_ _ [F#m] _ You're alright [Em] now
_ _ [F#m] So stop a [E] while behind our [G] _ smile
_ [D] In _ _ _ _ _ _ Channing Way
[A] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
