My Amazon six-triggered bride
(Bb) Cm Gm
Now searching for a place to hide
(Gm) G Eb Bb
Still sees truth quite easily
(Bb) Cm Gm
Shrouds all else in mystery
While madmen in top hats and tails
Impale themselves on six inch nails
And some Arabian also-ran
Impersonates a watering can
[repeat intro w/full band after each verse]
Verse 2:
Some Santa Claus-like face of note
Entreats my ears to set afloat
My feeble, sick, and weary brain
And I am overcome with shame
And hide inside my overcoat
And hurriedly begin to quote
And some Arabian sheik most grand
Impersonates a hot dog stand
Instrumental break:
(guitar solo over verse chords)
Verse 3:
Red Cross ambulance outside
Could only mean that I must hide
'Til dusk and finally the night
When I will make a hasty flight
Across the sea and far away
To where the weary exiles stay
And some Arabian oil well
Impersonates a padded cell
Coda:
And some Arabian oil well
Impersonates a padded cell
[repeat intro; end cold on last Gm of 2nd repeat]
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
