My Friend John

(intro)  A

(verse)
         G        C            G 
Well the room was pink and the 
         F
signs were serious
     G        C       G    
Paperback dolls being slammed 
       F
delirious
G              C           
Feeling like a joke in the bar 
G        F
underneath
           G        C            
And it was Saturday night in the 
G           F
year of the good thief

(verse)

Well I tumbled up the stairs the 
wrong way round
I hit my head on the ceiling when my
 feet hit the ground
And then the big dumb blonde in the 
gold fish bowl
cried Ella's in the band but she's 
got no soul!

My friend John was a serious one
D#              A#         D    
Buttoned up the back and a job 
    D#
half done
D#       A#           D          
Lazy old boy when the good girls 
D#
turn
    D#        A#            D    
His teeth get itchy and his 
        D#
rubber souls burn
D#        A#   D  G
When will he ever learn?

(verse)

Well the night was spent and my 
money was young
And then I had to get home before my
 neck was wrong
And everybody danced in the same old
 way
And if I'm feeling old and desperate
 I'll be back some day

(refrão)

My friend John was a serious one
Buttoned up the back and a job half 
done
Lazy old boy when the good girls 
turn
His teeth get itchy and his rubber 
souls burn
When will he ever learn?
