[Em] [Fm] When [C] we swam all of two pieces, we [G] washed up [A] on [E] messy [D] [G] features
You [C] cleaned to [G] dry, I would not [Am] drift yet, I should [G] drink salt [Am] water to [D] forget
Oh I, oh I, oh I would [Am] like you [G] to bring your hips [A]
[Cm] [G]
[C] [A]
to [Am] me
Tommy, [G] [C]
[G] [Am] Tommy, Tommy, [C]
[G] [Am] Tommy
Well [C] I arrived but you would not receive me
I [A] wanted it [Dm] all, you could not [Em] tell
[C] And I paid [Am] expensive attention to detail
[Dm] The frown of your face, the wish of the well
[G] The rush of [E] the [G] bush, the length of the sun
[Am] And you worried, [G] bring your hips [C] to me
Oh, bring [B] your hips, oh, [A] oh, bring your hips to [Am] me
[A] Tommy, oh [G] bring your [C] hips, [G] oh bring your hips
[A] Oh, oh, bring your hips to me
[C] Tommy, [Em] Tommy, [Am]

[Em] [Am]
[G] [C] You tug so lightly on me, work like you [Dm] are on vacation.
[E] [C] While I was swept by, I went for [Dm] you across the nation.
[E] [G] I always kept [Dm] hands on my [G] lap, so [C] then we'd spill all of the [Am] pieces.
We [D] washed [C] up on the [B] sea beaches, you [C] please dry, I will not drift yet.
I [Am] should drink [G] salt water [C] to [D] forget.
Oh why, oh why, [Am] oh why, [G] oh why [C] won't you stay?
