Verse 1
(D minor) Frogface and
Buster biggered (F major) through their plan (Aaug)
(A major) As they (D minor) waited in the car park in their
battered (F major) stolen van (D minor)
Frogface was a lawyer then and
(F major) Buster
Lady
Bluff (Aaug)
Their existen (C minor) tial burden was they
were (Aaug) (A major) not (Aaug) rich enough (D minor)
They coshed (E minor) him as he came out,
checked his wallet for the name
He was ho (F major) g -tied in their cellar
before he could complain
A mes (E minor) sage was soon relayed
via satellite and such
Saying his (B flat major) son and heir is landfill,
unless you pay (F minor) to us (E minor)
The (D minor) happy days were short -lived,
they kid (F major) napped the wrong man (Aaug)
The (D minor) real one turned up, airport bound,
a gold (F major) brick in either hand (D minor)
And
Buster walking home one day was
stopped (F major) by those who steal (Aaug)
She gave (C minor) them lip, they battered her,
(Aaug) now (A major) she (D minor) deals (A major) on wheels (D minor)
Frogface (E minor) sits in
Parliament, his views are (E major) in (E minor) demand
On all (F major) official media he
states his simple plans
for vicious (E minor) retribution
against those evil folk
whose de (B flat major) viance and violence
have ceased to be (F minor) a (E minor) joke.
To the east (D minor) side of the city you can
bring (F major) all life's mistakes (Aaug)
to (A major) (D minor) heartless smoky men who
help you burnish (F major) and erase (D minor)
to hear the frog face go one day with
his (F major) weaknesses on show. (D minor)
A (F major) jeep's (C minor) bent down a quiet street,
(F major) they let (Aaug) the (D minor) hostage go.
But (E minor) when he told his story,
the world exclaimed, so what?
Yours (F major) is just another tale,
and we prefer the one we've got.
Now fro (E minor) g -faced, double dutiful,
he wheels his wife to church.
Two mir (B flat major) rors of our decency,
which scandal must (F minor) not (F major) touch. (E minor)
(A minor) I'm a ghost. (G major) I don't (Asus4) exist. (G major) (Asus4) I
(E major) wandered off and I (D minor) was not missed.
(A minor) I watched the rain over
Lime (G major) house
(Asus4) Cut, a (G major) most (E major) excellent waterway,
(A minor) (D minor) is it not?
I'm (F major) (A minor) (F major) (A minor) a ghost,
my (G major) story's (A minor) told
Baby (E major) -faced old barrel (A minor) boys
laid hands (D minor) upon my soul
Teth (A minor) ering my dreams to
lighthouse (G major) coals (Asus4)
Whose (A minor) waters daily (E major)
beckoned me with (A minor) love
(D minor) Both warm (F major) and (A minor) tough (G major) (Asus4) (G major) (A minor) (E major)
(A minor) (D minor) (A minor) (G major) (Asus4) (A minor)
(E major) (D minor) (F major) (D minor)
(A minor) You
