Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (F major) (C minor) (C major) (G major) (F major) (C minor) (G major) It's
three stiff belts past ten
on a damp Tuesday night.
I'm at the (C minor) corner of Tinker (A flat major) and Taylor
in (G major) front of a decaying three -story building.
I notice the neon sign above the door,
Sam's menswear. (C major)
Directly above it is Joey's speakeasy,
(G major) but that's another (C major) story.
(C minor) The glow (G major) ing neon reminds me
I'm here to see my tailor
about a matter that's (C minor) got me (A flat major) steamed.
(C minor) To (G major) make a short story long,
Sam and I had a deal
I thought was all (D major) sewn up,
But when I got the goods back to my flat,
I found a full -length (C major) mirror
were (G major) long (C major) enough.
To (G major) say I was overdressed
(B flat major) would not be fab (D major) rication. (A flat major)
(D major) Off the cuff, my tailor had me in stitches,
but I wasn't laughing.
(C minor) (D major) So I put my vest (G major) foot forward,
(D major) open the door, (G major) and surge in.
Listen, Sam,
seems to me you've done a so -so job.
Now, I don't want to press
charges or file a suit,
but I'm sitting on pins
and needles.
Button your lips, Sam.
You'd best quit your hemming and hawing,
(A flat major) or you'll be (G major) bobbing and weaving.
Me and you got a few (D major) wrinkles (G major) to (C minor) iron out.
(G major) (C minor) Sam,
you made (G major) the plans (A flat major) too (G major) long (C minor) (G major)
(C minor) Trouser (G major) s (C minor) draggin',
slowly draggin' (G major) through the street
(C major) Yes, (C minor) I'm (E flat major) walkin',
but I'm (A flat minor) walkin' without feet (E flat major)
(G major) I'm not (C minor) finding fault at (E flat major) all
Either they're (A flat minor) too big or I'm (E flat major) too small
But Sam, (A flat major) you promised me
(G major) both ends would meet
You made the coat (C minor) and vest fit (G major) the best
You (C major) made the linin' nice and strong
But Sam, (F major) you (A flat major) made the pants (G major) too long (C minor)
You (A flat major) (G major) made the (C minor) pink
lapel look (G major) so swell
So (C major) who am I to say you're wrong?
But Sam, (F major) you (A flat major) made the (G major) pants too long. (C minor) (D major)
They (G major) got the belt, (E minor)
they (A minor) got suspend (D major) ers,
so (G major) (E minor) what can they lose? (A minor)
But (D major) what good's (B flat major) a belt (G major) and
(C major) what good's (D major) suspend (F major) ers
When (B flat major) the pants are
(G major) hanging over the shoes
I feel (C minor) a winter breeze up
and (G major) down my knees
The (C major) belt is where the tie belongs (F major)
Sam, you (A flat major) made the (G major) pants
too long (C minor) (G major)
Now, (C major) I know you got a lot
of material on (G major) me, Sam,
(C major) but (D major) that don't alter a thing. (G major)
(F major) Your reputation is hanging by a thread, (G major)
(A flat major) so we're either talking (G major) alterations
or (C minor) altercations.
(E flat major) Now (C minor) go ahead,
(D major) you got a lot of legwork to
(B flat major) do. (C minor) (G major) (C major)
(F major) (Adim) (G major)
(C minor) La, la, la, la, la, la, (G major) la, la, la, la, la
(C minor) La? Yeah! (G major) (C major)
La -Ba -Ba -Ba la! (F major) (Adim) (G major) (C minor)
(D major) They (E minor) got the belt
And they got (A minor) sus (D major) penders
So (E minor) what can they lose? (A minor) (D major)
But (B flat major) what good's a belt
(G major) and (C minor) what good's (F major) suspenders? (B flat major)
When the pants are hanging over (G major) my shoes
(B flat major) I (G major) feel the (C minor) winter breeze
Up and down (G major) my knees
The (C major) belt is where the tie belongs
Cause (F major) Sam, Sam, Sam
You made the pants (A flat major) (G major) (C minor)
(A flat major) (G major) (C minor) (A flat major) (G major)
(C minor) (F major) (C minor)
So it again, Sam.
