Verse 1
(D major) I walked (G major) (A major) (D major) the street with a (G major) tap to
my feet. I heard (D major) a voice above me.
A lovely maid looked (G major) out and said,
I (A major) need someone to love (D major) me.
Says
I, my dear, you needn't fear,
for I have heard your pleading.
(A major) To (D major) find your joy with a (G major) wayward boy,
he's (A major) got just what you're (D major) needing. (G major) (A major) (D major)
I heard of you, my (G major) wayward (A major) boy,
your (D major) name is far exalted
But I won't come down, I can't come down,
my (A major) bedroom door is (D major) bolted
My father is a minister,
my maidenhead does (A major) cherish
Nightly (D major) he does (G major) lock me in,
so (A major) lonely I do (D major) perish (G major) (A major)
(D major) Well the fence was small, I (G major) shinnied up the wall,
I (D major) stood there right beside her
With some alarm, she (G major) lifted up her arm,
she grabbed (A major) some clothes to (D major) hide her.
Says, ah, young maid, don't be afraid,
your future can be thrill (A major) in'.
If (D major) you're the one that (G major) likes a bit of fun,
the (A major) wayward boy is (D major) willin'.
(G major)
Verse 2
(A major)
(D major) Well, she jumped in bed, and she (G major) covered up her head,
and she (D major) said, I couldn't find her.
She knew damn well she lied (G major) like hell,
I (A major) jumped in right behind (D major) her.
Shove my chest up to her breast,
I shook her like a toy
When I hit the bell,
she (G major) knew damn well why they (A major) called me the
Wayward
(D major) Boy
Whistling (G major) (A major)
(D major) Well, the bed broke down, I (G major) landed on the ground,
her (D major) father clubbed my gun in
I jumped through the glass and landed on my (G major) ass,
I (A major) got to my feet a (D major) -runnin'
As on I sped, I turned my head,
but a shotgun blast had blinded (A major) me
For (D major) weeks in bed,
I (G major) was pickin' out the lead
With a (A major) mirror held be (D major) hind me (G major) (A major) (D major)
Some years went by, I (G major) woke up with a sigh
As (D major) fancy did remind me
So one fine day, I (G major) made my way
To the (A major) gal I'd left be (D major) hind me
She was still locked in to ward off sin
She didn't look much older
(A major) But she (D major) had five girls, seven little (G major) boys
And a (A major) baby on her (D major) shoulder (G major) (A major) (D major)
