[Intro] (fade in)
 G   Bb   Cx6
[Verse 1]
  C5Dark alley (dark alley)
Black star
  A5Four turkeys in a big black car
  C5The road is shiny (bright shiny)
The wheels slide
  A5Four turkeys going for a dangerous ride
  C5The lacquer crackles (black tar)
The engines roar
  A5A ship was turning broadside to the shore
  C5Splish splash, I was raking in the cash
The biA5ology of purpose keeps my nose above the surface
[Chorus]
GKing's lead hat put the Bbinnocence inside her
It will Ccome, it will come, it will surely come
GKing's lead hat was a Bbmother to desire
It will Ccome, it will come, it will surely come
[Verse 2]
  C5In New Delhi (smelly Delhi)
And Hong Kong
  A5They all know that it won't be long
  C5I count my fingers (digit counter)
As night falls
  A5And draw bananas on the bathroom walls
  C5The killer cycles (humdrum)
The killer hertz
  A5The passage of my life is measured out in shirts
  C5Time and motion (motion carried)
Time and tide
All I A5know and all I have is time and time and tide is on my side
[Chorus]
GKing's lead hat put the Bbpoker in the fire
It will Ccome, it will come, it will surely come
GKing's lead hat was a Bbmother to desire
It will Ccome, it will come, it will surely come
[Middle 8] (like the verse)
 C5   A5x4
[Bridge] (like the chorus)
 G   Bb   Cx2
[Verse 3]
  C5The weapon's ready (ready Freddy)
The guns purr
  A5The satellite distorts his voice to a slur
  C5He gives orders (finger pie)
Which no one hears
  A5The king's hat fits over their ears
  C5He takes his modicate
Cold turpentine
  A5He tries to dial out 999999999
  C5He dials reception (moving finger)
He's all alone
  A5He's just a victim of the telephone
[Chorus]
GKing's lead hat made the BbAmazon much wider
It will Ccome, it will come, it will surely come
GKing's lead hat put the Bbpoker in the fire
It will Ccome, it will come, it will surely come
GKing's lead hat was a Bbmother to desire
It will Ccome, it will come, it will surely come
GKing's lead hat put the Bbinnocence inside her
It will Ccome, it will come, it will surely come

[Intro] (fade in)

G Bb C

[Verse 1]

Dark alley (dark alley)

Black star

Four turkeys in a big black car

The road is shiny (bright shiny)

The wheels slide

Four turkeys going for a dangerous ride

The lacquer crackles (black tar)

The engines roar

A ship was turning broadside to the shore

Splish splash, I was raking in the cash

The biology of purpose keeps my nose above the surface

[Chorus]

G Bb

King's lead hat put the innocence inside her

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

G Bb

King's lead hat was a mother to desire

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

[Verse 2]

In New Delhi (smelly Delhi)

And Hong Kong

They all know that it won't be long

I count my fingers (digit counter)

As night falls

And draw bananas on the bathroom walls

The killer cycles (humdrum)

The killer hertz

The passage of my life is measured out in shirts

Time and motion (motion carried)

Time and tide

All I know and all I have is time and time and tide is on my side

[Chorus]

G Bb

King's lead hat put the poker in the fire

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

G Bb

King's lead hat was a mother to desire

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

[Middle 8] (like the verse)

C5 A5

[Bridge] (like the chorus)

G Bb C

[Verse 3]

The weapon's ready (ready Freddy)

The guns purr

The satellite distorts his voice to a slur

He gives orders (finger pie)

Which no one hears

The king's hat fits over their ears

He takes his modicate

Cold turpentine

He tries to dial out 999999999

He dials reception (moving finger)

He's all alone

He's just a victim of the telephone

[Chorus]

G Bb

King's lead hat made the Amazon much wider

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

G Bb

King's lead hat put the poker in the fire

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

G Bb

King's lead hat was a mother to desire

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

G Bb

King's lead hat put the innocence inside her

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

[Outro]
