Tom:
F
The guilty undertaker sighs
Am
The lonesome organ grinder cries
Dm C
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
Bb
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
C
Blow into my face with scorn
Dm
But it's not that way
C
I wasn't born to lose you
F Am
I want you, I want you
Dm C
I want you so bad
F
Honey, I want you
F
The drunken politician leaps
Am
Upon the street where mothers weep
Dm
And the saviors who are fast asleep
C
They wait for you
Bb
And I wait for them to interrupt
C
Me drinkin' from that broken cup
Dm
And ask me to
C
Open up the gate for you
F Am
I want you, I want you
Dm C
I want you so bad
F
Honey, I want you
Am
Now my fathers, they've gone down
Dm
True love they've been without it
Am
But all their daughters put me down
Bb C

Am
And talk with my chambermaid
Dm
She knows that you're not afraid
C
To look at her
Bb
She is good to me
C
And there's nothing she doesn't see
Dm
She knows where I'd like to be
C
But it doesn't matter
F Am
I want you, I want you
Dm C
I want you so bad
F
Honey, I want you
F
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
Am
He spoke to me, I took his flute
Dm
No, I wasn't very cute to him
C
Was I?
Bb
But I did it, because he lied
C
An because he took you for a ride
Dm
And because time was on his side
C
And because I
F Am
I want you, I want you
Dm C
I want you so bad
F
Honey, I want you
