Selection chords: Sofia Davis

G
The guilty undertaker sighs,
    Bm
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
    Em                            D
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
    C
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
D
Blow into my face with scorn,
         Em
But itʼs not that way,
                 D
I wasnʼt born to lose you.
  G           Bm
I want you, I want you,
  Em          D
I want you so bad,
              G
Honey, I want you.

    G
The drunken politician leaps
 Bm
Upon the street where mothers weep
        Em
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
    D
They wait for you.
      C
And I wait for them to interrupt
D
Me drinkinʼ from that broken cup
    Em
And ask me to
            D
Open up the gate for you.
  G           Bm
I want you, I want you,
  Em          D
I want you so bad,
              G
Honey, I want you.

    Bm
Now all my fathers, theyʼve gone down,
Em
True love theyʼve been without it.
    Bm
But all their daughters put me down
       C                 D
ʼCause I donʼt think about it.

G
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
    Bm
And talk with my chambermaid.
Em
She knows that Iʼm not afraid
   D
To look at her
C
She is good to me
D
And thereʼs nothing she doesnʼt see.
    Em
She knows where Iʼd like to be
D
But it doesnʼt matter.
  G           Bm
I want you, I want you,
  Em          D
I want you so bad
         G
Honey, I want you.

G
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
   Bm
He spoke to me, I took his flute.
Em
No, I wasnʼt very cute to him,
D
Was I?
      C
But I did it, though, because he lied
D
Because he took you for a ride
    Em
And because tine was on his side
    D
And because I...
  G            Bm
I want you,  I want you,
  Em          D
I want you so bad
         G
Honey, I want you.
