[G] This next song actually has a_
How you doing, Dad?
[Em] Are you feeling alright?
[N] Are you, love?
Yes, son? _ _ _ _
Speak into my mic. _ _ _ _ _
Sorry, love, I'll be there in a moment.
I've just got to sing a couple of more songs, [C] unfortunately.
I have to work, darling.
[N] I have to go to work.
You know, I know you want me to stay here [C] all day with you.
And I'd love to stay.
[G] I _ [C#] have to go to work, honey.

_ [N] This song is actually about a guy called Ed
who came all the way from Eastern Europe
down to homestead in Florida
after he was horribly jilted and left at the altar
by his sweetheart.
He started to build this gigantic place
that's made out of huge slabs of gravel.
I mean, there's a big moon for a rocking chair.
_ It's called the Coral Castle, this place, by the way.
And there's a one-ton slab that revolves on its own axis.
You can push it with one finger.
I'm getting more and more British.
More _ _ _ _ _ _ Britishness.
_ [C]
Anyway, [C#] this place, the Coral Castle,
has got this huge [Am] moon for a rocking chair. _
[G#] There's a big one-ton slab you can push with [C#] one finger
that revolves on its own axis.
[Em] It's a doorway, a portal, [N] if you will,
into the Coral Castle.
Anyway, I thought this place was quite romantic,
and Ed used to give guided tours of the Coral Castle.
About 25 cents, and I took one.
About halfway around, I didn't know the backstory,
so I had to ask, hey, Ed!
_ _ _ This place from_
What the fuck? _

My Ed looked me right in the eye,
and he said, it's for my sweet 16. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

and she [Am] left everything,
everything I [C] gave her,
[G] for my sweet [A] 16.
[Am] _ _ [F] For a rocking chair,
and in the case [G] it could rock a proper view.
Oh, oh, for [F] someone's beauty [G] and castle.
[Am] Oh, my sweet 16.
_ [F] Someone's beauty [G] and the house of [Am] house you're in.
_ _ [F] Someone's beauty [G] and the castle.

_ [F] Someone took [G] my candy girl [A] jewelry.

Oh, bless [C] me and follow me now,
[G] my [Em] sweet 16.

_ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ [G] Get up in the morning, work for me.
Get up in the morning, work.

Oh, sweet 16.
_ _ [G] _ [A] _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [F] _ _ She [Am] took everything, _ [G] everything I gave her.
