           B                  B7                   E7
 Didnʼt I see you down in San Antone on a hot and dusty night?
                                   B                       E7
 You were eating eggs in Sammyʼs when the black man there drew his knife.
 B              B                                     E7
 Or you drowned that Jew in Rampton as he washed his sleevless shirt.
                       E7                      B
 You know that Spanish speaking gentleman, the one that we call Kurt.
  
 C#m  A  B
  
 D#m       C#m                E               B
 Come now, gentleman, I know thereʼs some mistake
        D#m            C#m            E                   B
 How forgetful Iʼm becoming now you fixed your business straight
  
      B                            E7               B
 I remember you in Hemlock Road in nineteen fifty six
             B                               E7              B
 You were a faggy little leather boy with a smaller piece of stick
            B
 You were a lashing smashing hunk of a man,
      E                      B
 your sweat shined sweet and strong
      E7                B                      C#m
 Your organʼs working perfectly, but thereʼs a part
            A             F#7
 thatʼs not   screwed on
  
 B  F#7  B  F#7  B  F#7  B  F#7
  
             B                               E                 B
 Werenʼt you at the Coke Convention back in nineteen sixty five
  
 Youʼre the misbred grey executive Iʼve seen heavily advertised
             B                                       E                  B
 Youʼre the great grey man whose daughter licks policemenʼs buttons clean
    E                         B
 Youʼre the man who squats behind the man
            C#m          A             B
 who works            the soft machine
 D#m         C#m                 E             B
 Come now, gentlemen, your love  is all I crave
           D#m            C#m                E
 Youʼll still be in the circus when Iʼm laughing,
                               B
 laughing            in my grave
  
        B                               E7                B
 Well remember who you say you are but keep your noses clean
         B                                   E                    B
 Boys will be boys and play with toys. So be   strong with your beast
    B                                        E                    B
 Oh Rosie dear, donʼcha think itʼs queer. So stop me if you please
     E7               B
 The babyʼs dead, my lady said.
         C#m                        A               B
 You gentlemen       will you all         work for me
  
          B                                   E7                 B
 When the old men do all the fighting and the young men all look on
         B                                        E              B
 And the young girls eat their motherʼs meat from tubes of plasticon
     B                                 E                     B
 Be wary of these my gentle friends of all the skin you breed
    E7              B
 To have that tasty habit,
      C#m            A             B
 itʼs not       the hands    that bleed
