Chords in this song · guitar

Standard Tuning

Capo on 2nd

Intro

G Bm Em D

The guilty undertaker sighs,

The lonesome organ grinder cries,

Em D

The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.

The cracked bells and washed-out horns

Blow into my face with scorn,

But it's not that way,

I wasn't born to lose you.

G Bm

I want you, I want you,

Em D

I want you so bad,

Honey, I want you.

The drunken politician leaps

Upon the street where mothers weep

And the saviors who are fast asleep,

They wait for you.

And I wait for them to interrupt

Me drinkin' from that broken cup

And ask me to

Open up the gate for you.

G Bm

I want you, I want you,

Em D

I want you so bad,

Honey, I want you.

Now all my fathers, they've gone down,

True love they've been without it.

But all their daughters put me down

C D

Cause I don't think about it.

Well, I return to the Queen of Spades

And talk with my chambermaid.

She knows that I'm not afraid

To look at her

She is good to me

And there's nothing she doesn't see.

She knows where I'd like to be

But it doesn't matter.

G Bm

I want you, I want you,

Em D

I want you so bad

Honey, I want you.
