EmI want to tell you, Dabout my power, aCbout my mysterious kEmink  
I used to go about,  Dfully believingC, I was invisiEmble
The legendary, Dinvisible rock singerC, I would open my mouth and spEmew forth
No blues, no newsD, just hey mate, yeah yCou!
Over here, boEmo!   Just for a moment, DI would materialisCeEm  
EmAnyway, people started to talkD, started to talk about thisC, legendary mysterious
Loud mouth invEmisible rock singer cowboy, I began to act coolD, come back
Materialise,  eCven though I wEmasn?t meaning to,  people began to come
And see this inviDsible loud mouth rock singer coCwboy, aaah, you know Emsoon
People would sit behind me at cafesD, and say he thinks he?s invisible watch
  C    [hold]           
Jees you know I hate to keep em waiting I tried my best I got quite upset
Then I thought, ahh it?s Emnot such a bad thing, to be seen as a gDuy who 
Thinks he can?t be seen, Ceven though I know I can, it?s qEmuite a trip
I mean in cEmertain circumstances certain plDaces, anything goes if you're kCnown
EmIf you?ve got a name around town as a guDy who?ll do anything if nobody?s loCokiEmng
But if any body?s lEmooking, ?cause they thDink he thinks he can?t be seCen
I mean they stEmare,  like they thEmink I can?t see em, it?s like I?m blDind
Like I?m invCisible, ah you know sEmoon
Everybody?s lEmooking, because they thDink I think nobody?s lCooking  Em  
So EmI can?t not be seen so DI?m not looking at them, CI know exactly where they Emare
And even if I wEmas they couldn?t see me because they?re tDoo busy waiting for me
To dematCerialise right there in frEmont of them,  aEmctually, what a place to hDide
I mean say you were a spCy, an undercEmover man, somebody on the rEmun, what better
PlDace to disappear, what a cCover, a lead singer in a rock and rEmoll band
You?re pEmoor, you?re stDoned, you?re a slCave to a unnameable half forgotten amEmbition
You?re just anEmother guy on the lost highway, a rDamblin? man, a pirate of lCove
A rider on the rEmange, a sEmeventh son of a seventh son, a lDove rustler, a despeCrado
A bastard right royal, entEmitled to be bad,  the Emman in black,
John the cDonqueroo, the worlds forgCotten boy, meat man Mr blEmues, the vEmelvet fog
The silver fox, the lDittle cloud that cried, the bCest dressed chicken in tEmown

Em D C Em

I want to tell you, about my power, about my mysterious kink

D C Em

I used to go about, fully believing, I was invisible

D C Em

The legendary, invisible rock singer, I would open my mouth and spew forth

D C

No blues, no news, just hey mate, yeah you!

Em D C Em

Over here, boo! Just for a moment, I would materialise

Em D C

Anyway, people started to talk, started to talk about this, legendary mysterious

Em D

Loud mouth invisible rock singer cowboy, I began to act cool, come back

C Em

Materialise, even though I wasn?t meaning to, people began to come

D C Em

And see this invisible loud mouth rock singer cowboy, aaah, you know soon

People would sit behind me at cafes, and say he thinks he?s invisible watch

C [hold]

Jees you know I hate to keep em waiting I tried my best I got quite upset

Em D

Then I thought, ahh it?s not such a bad thing, to be seen as a guy who

C Em

Thinks he can?t be seen, even though I know I can, it?s quite a trip

Em D C

I mean in certain circumstances certain places, anything goes if you're known

Em D C Em

If you?ve got a name around town as a guy who?ll do anything if nobody?s looking

Em D C

But if any body?s looking, ?cause they think he thinks he can?t be seen

Em Em D

I mean they stare, like they think I can?t see em, it?s like I?m blind

C Em

Like I?m invisible, ah you know soon

Em D C Em

Everybody?s looking, because they think I think nobody?s looking

Em D C Em

So I can?t not be seen so I?m not looking at them, I know exactly where they are

Em D

And even if I was they couldn?t see me because they?re too busy waiting for me

C Em Em D

To dematerialise right there in front of them, actually, what a place to hide

C Em Em

I mean say you were a spy, an undercover man, somebody on the run, what better

D C Em

Place to disappear, what a cover, a lead singer in a rock and roll band

Em D C Em

You?re poor, you?re stoned, you?re a slave to a unnameable half forgotten ambition

Em D C

You?re just another guy on the lost highway, a ramblin? man, a pirate of love

Em Em D C

A rider on the range, a seventh son of a seventh son, a love rustler, a desperado

Em Em

A bastard right royal, entitled to be bad, the man in black,

D C Em Em

John the conqueroo, the worlds forgotten boy, meat man Mr blues, the velvet fog

D C Em

The silver fox, the little cloud that cried, the best dressed chicken in town

Em Em Em
