Bob Dylan - The ballad of frankie lee and judas priest

^CWell Frankie Lee^Em and Judas Priest They ^Dmwere the best of friends ^C So when ^CFrankie Lee needed ^Emmoney one day Judas ^Dmquickly pulled out a roll of tens ^C And ^Cplaced them on a foot^Emstool Just ^Dmabove the plotted plain ^C Sayin' T^Cake your pick Fra^Dmnkie Boy My ^Emloss will be your gain ^C

Well F^Crankie Lee he sa^Emt right down And put his ^Dmfingers to his chin ^C But ^Cwith the cold eyes of Jud^Emas on him His ^Dmhead began to spin ^C Could y^Ca please not stare at me l^Emike that he said It's j^Dmust my foolish pride ^C For ^Csometimes a man must be ^Emalone And ^Dmthis is no place to hide ^C

Well ^CJudas he just w^Eminked and said All right^Dm I'll leave you here ^{C C}But you'd better hurry up and ^Emchoose Which of those bills you ^Dmwant Before they all disappear ^C I^C'm gonna start my p^Emickin' right now Just ^Dmtell me where you'll be ^C

^CJudas pointed down the ^Emroad And said ^Dmeternity ^C E^Cternity said Fra^Emnkie Lee ^DmWith a voice as cold as ^Cice T^Chat's right said Judas Eter^Emnity Though you ^Dmmight call it 'Paradise ' ^C

I^C don't call it anything ^Em Said ^DmFrankie Lee with a smile ^C A^Cll right said Jud^Emas Priest I^Dm'll see you after a while ^C

W^Cell Frankie Lee he sa^Emt back down ^DmFeelin' low and mean ^{C C}When just then a passing ^Emstranger ^DmBurst upon the scene ^{C C}Saying Are you Frankie Lee the gam^Embler Whose ^Dmfather's deceased ^{C C}Well if you are There's a ^Emfellow callin' you down the road And they ^Dmsay his name is Priest ^C

O^Ch yes he is my fri^Emend Said ^DmFrankie Lee in fright ^C I^C do recall him v^Emery well In ^Dmfact he just left my sight ^C Y^Ces that's the one said the stra^Emnger As ^Dmquiet as a mouse ^C W^Cell my message is he's dow^Emn the road ^DmStranded in a house ^C

^CWell Frankie Lee he^Em panicked He dropped ^Dmev'rything and ran ^{C C}Until he came unto the s^Empot Where ^DmJudas Priest did ^Cstand ^CWhat kind of house is t^Emhis he said W^Dmhere I have come to roam ^C I^Ct's not a house says Jud^Emas Priest It's not a h^Dmouse it's a home ^C

W^Cell Frankie Lee he tr^Emembled He ^Dmsoon lost all control ^C O^Cver everything which ^Emhe had made ^DmWhile the mission bells did ^Ctoll ^CHe just stood there ^Emstaring At that big house as ^Dmbright as any ^Csun ^CWith four and twenty ^Emwindows And a ^Dmwoman's face in every on^Ce

^CWell up the stairs ran F^Emrankie Lee With a ^Dmsoulful bounding leap ^{C C}And foaming at the m^Emouth He began to ^Dmmake his midnight creep ^{C C}For sixteen nights and ^Emdays he raved But ^Dmon the seventeenth he bu^Crst ^CInto the arms of ^EmJudas Priest Which is ^Dmwhere he died of thirst ^C

^CNo one tried to ^Emsay a thing When they ^Dmcarried him out in jest ^{C C}Except of course the li^Emttle neighbour boy ^DmWho carried him to rest ^C And ^Che just walked along ^Emalone With his ^Dmguilt all well concealed ^{C C}And muttered under^Emneath his breath N^Dmothing is revealed ^C

^CWell the moral of the s^Emtory The ^Dmmoral of this ^Csong ^CIs simply that one should ^Emnever be Where ^Dmone does not belong ^{C C}So when you see your neighbour carryin' ^Emsomethin' ^DmHelp him with his ^Cload And ^Cdon't go mistaking ^EmParadise For that ^Dmhome across the road ^C
