[C#] [F#]
[C#m]
[C#]
[F#] [C#m]
[C#] So many mouths to feed on the fog
The son who was a second to the last one, Mom
Mama ran away and his daddy beat her in the back
[C#m] Grew up [G#] wild, couldn't love, he never had a left
[C#]
Henry's hammer, oh I liked it in Amarillo
Born with a mother's heart, he talked and prayed
Mama [F#] and son, who'd [C#] have liked this?
Well, the home where the hooks used to go to the pad
He'd shine a light, blow the headshine
Slow man in the locks on the door
But they don't have that kind of money, son
Here we go
Friends meet you on the soap bar
Listen, there's no window, you hear?
They never smile, so they go down the road
So they go down, I was a lot better
[C#m] Well,
[B] [C#]
[F#] [C#m] [C#]
the writer's good, I liked him, I came to love
He was all I had, I just had a dime
Didn't want to have a bone
He died with me, he was a [B] [F#] liar
I kept him, I had him
[G#m] He was [C#] a poor man, a poor man
So I was a poor man, poor man
[A#m]
[C#] He was a mean boy, so I picked him up again
But then I was hammered, I'd write a life for any man
I'd own him a living, that'll keep me gay, not home
[F#]
[C#]
[C#m]
[C#]
Joe Lewis was his hero, so I did his
He was a good man, a gentleman, I liked him, I loved him
[C#m]
[C#] So I put in a one-horse open
The axe he'd come to, he'd give up a book for the good
They didn't have some bar of crisp, [D#] they brought it out [C#]
again
They never smiled, [B] no, they [A#m] weren't, so [C#] I was a lot
[C#m] better
[C#]
That's the suit of his face, it's steel on the top
No, it was made in Venezuela, I was a lot better
Wanted no investigation, I said
He didn't need nobody to tell him what to [F#] do
Crisp clothes, arms [Em] and back
[C#] Sluts who he never [G#] liked to see
[C#] See the guys in [G] red, see the lads [C#] in black
They were the cat wizards, they were the real
I was a [F#] lot better, [C#] no, I was a lot better
Oh, the real wizards, the real, the real, the real
The real wizards, the real, the real, the real
The real wizards,

[C#]
[C#m] [C#]
[G] [C#]
[C#m] real
[C#] [C#m]
[C#]
Nobody could be sure about the day he was born
His mother was tired of looking after him
Nobody could be sure about the day he died
There was a key in the house beside the river
And I heard the little song about a jolly city
And I heard the little song about a jolly city
And I heard the little song about a jolly city
And I heard the little song [E] about a jolly city
And I heard the little song [A#m] about a jolly [A] city
