From: Matthew B. Johnson ([email protected])

[Intro]

Gm Bb

Dm C G

Gm Bb Gm Bb

Monty this seems strange to me, the movies had that movie thing

Gm Bb Dm C G

But nonsense has a welcome ring and heroes don't come easy

Gm Bb Gm Bb

Now nonsense isn't new to me, I know my head, I know my feet

Gm Bb Dm C G Dm C G

But mischief knocked me in the knees so just let go, just let go

Gm Bb Gm Bb

I saw the ocean meet the man, I saw you buried in the sand

Gm Bb Dm C G

A friend was there to hold my hand, so walk on by

Gm Bb Gm Bb

So I went walking through the stream, I saw you strung up in a tree

Gm Bb Dm C G Dm C G

A woman knelt there, said to me, said hold your tongue, hold your tongue

Bb Dm C G Bb Dm C G

You don't owe me anything, you don't want their sympathy (waste your breath)

Bb Dm C Dm C G

Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath) for the silver screen

Gm Bb Gm Bb

That nonsense doesn't mean a thing, they tried to bust you in a sting

Gm Bb Dm C G

But virtue isn't everything so don't waste time

Gm Bb Gm Bb

Now here's a rhyme that you can steal, put this on your reel to reel

Gm Bb Dm C G Dm C G

Mischief through a rotten deal, Monty's laying low, he is laying low

Dm C G Dm C G

Just let go, just let go

Bb Dm C G Bb Dm C G

You don't owe me anything, you don't want their sympathy (waste your breath)

Bb Dm C Bb Dm C G

Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath) Monty, this seems strange to me
