My Fdearest Miss Patsy, I’m writing to say
That I’m Bbsorry to not be in touch
It’s been Fquite a parade, but my thoughts never strayed
Too Bbfar, or too long, or too mCuch
Chorus:
CMiss Patsy, forFgive all the Cchoices I Fmade
I’ve been Gmfighting Fshadows on the Bbwrong crusade
CLooking for Fghosts in a Cpenny arFcade
Miss BbPatsy, no more will I Croam
Miss GmPatsy, won’t you D#carry me Fhome
They held me to ransom back there in the foothills
And nobody stumped up a bean
Not Swifty, nor Eddie, came up with the ready
It can make you think people plain mean
Chorus
I’ve been hanging out with some virtuous people
They emptied my bank account twice
They gave me self-confidence, even some clothes
And a truckload of love and advice 
When they gave out the cyanide pills with a wink
And said, Wait for the word, any day now, we think
I knew it was time to pull back from the brink
Miss Patsy, no more will I roam
Miss Patsy, won’t you carry me home
Miss Patsy, I looked at myself in the mirror
Decided I needed some work
Got me a nose job, a shave and a haircut
To drive all them ladies berserk
But the arm round my waist was a man in dark blue
He said, Ain’t you him? We’ve been looking for you
Now I’m sharing a cell with a holy kung fu
Miss Patsy, no more will I roam
Miss Patsy, won’t you carry me home

Chords in this song · guitar

My dearest Miss Patsy, I’m writing to say

That I’m sorry to not be in touch

It’s been quite a parade, but my thoughts never strayed

Bb C

Too far, or too long, or too much

Chorus:

C F C F

Miss Patsy, forgive all the choices I made

Gm F Bb

I’ve been fighting shadows on the wrong crusade

C F C F

Looking for ghosts in a penny arcade

Bb C

Miss Patsy, no more will I roam

Gm D# F

Miss Patsy, won’t you carry me home

They held me to ransom back there in the foothills

And nobody stumped up a bean

Not Swifty, nor Eddie, came up with the ready

It can make you think people plain mean

Chorus

I’ve been hanging out with some virtuous people

They emptied my bank account twice

They gave me self-confidence, even some clothes

And a truckload of love and advice

When they gave out the cyanide pills with a wink

And said, Wait for the word, any day now, we think

I knew it was time to pull back from the brink

Miss Patsy, no more will I roam

Miss Patsy, won’t you carry me home

Miss Patsy, I looked at myself in the mirror

Decided I needed some work

Got me a nose job, a shave and a haircut

To drive all them ladies berserk

But the arm round my waist was a man in dark blue

He said, Ain’t you him? We’ve been looking for you

Now I’m sharing a cell with a holy kung fu

Miss Patsy, no more will I roam

Miss Patsy, won’t you carry me home
