Intro: Am C+ C+ D7 F Fm
C+
I’ve got a little black book with my poems in
E
I’ve got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
F C+
When I’m a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
F C+
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
E E7+
Got these swollen hand blues.
F C+
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
C+
I’ve got electric light
C7
And I’ve got second sight
F Fm C+ E7+ D7/F# G
I’ve got amazing powers of observation
G E7/G#
And that is how I know
Am C+ C6
When I try to get through
C/G D
On the telephone to you
Fm6 C+ F
They’ll be nobody home
C+
I’ve got the obligatory Hendrix perm
E E7+
And the inevitable pinhole burns
F C+
All down in the front of my favourite satin shirt
F C+
I’ve got nicotine stains on my fingers
E
I’ve got a silver spoon on a chain
F C+
I’ve got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
C+
I’ve got wild staring eyes

I’ve got a strong urge to fly

But I’ve got nowhere to fly to
Am C+ D7
Ooooh Babe when I pick up the phone

There’s still nobody home
