INTRO: A G#m F#m E A G#m F#m B
Ah Ahear this Robert ZimmerG#mman
I F#mwrote a song for you E
About a Astrange young man called G#mDylan
With a F#mvoice like sand and glueE

F#mBrought a few more G#mpeople on
And put the Afear in a whole lot Bmore
CHORUS 1:
Ah Ahere she comes here she comes Dhere she comes againA
That same old painted lady
From the Ebrow of the superbrain
She'll F#mscratch this world to pieces
As she Gcomes on like a friend
But a Acouple of songs from your old scrap book
Could Esend her home again
You Agave your heart to every G#mbedsit room
At least a F#mpicture on the wallE
And you Asat behind a million G#mpair of eyes
And F#mtold them how they saw E
G#mThen we lost your C#mtrain of thought
Your Bpaintings are all Ayour own
While F#mtroubles are rising
We'd G#mrather be scared Atogether than aBlone
CHORUS 2
SOLO: A G#m F#m E A G#m F#m B
Now Ahear this Robert ZimmerG#mman
Though I F#mdon't suppose we'll meet E
AAsk your good friend G#mDylan
If he'd gaze a F#mwhile down the old street E
G#mTell him we've lost his poC#mems
So we're Bwriting on the walls A
F#mGive us back our G#munity
AGive us back our faBmily
You're F#mevery nations G#mrefugee
Don't Aleave us with our Bsanity
CHORUS 3
Ah Ahere she comes here she comes Dhere she comes againA
That same old painted lady
From the Ebrow of the superbrain
She'll F#mscratch this world to pieces
As she Gcomes on like a friend

Could Esend her home again
Oh a Gcouple of songs from your old scrap book
Could send her home again A

THE BEWLAY BROTHERS
INTRO: D Em A
D Em A...With lead guitar
And so the Dstory goes they wore the clothes
They said the things to make it seem Emimprobable A
The whale of a Dlie like they hope it was Em A
And the Dgood men tomorrow had their feet in the wallow
And their Emheads of brawn were nicer shorn
And Ahow they bought their positions of Dsaccharin and trust
And the Emworld was asleep to our Alatent fuss D
EmSighing the swirl through the streets like Athe crust of the sun
The BewDlay Brothers
In our Awings that bark flashing Gteeth of brass
Standing F#tall in the dark
F#sus4Oh and we were Asus2gone
Hanging out with your dGwarf men we were so turned Emon
By your lack of conCclusions
BREAK 1: D Em A
Well, DI was stone and he was wax so he could scream and still relax Emunbelievable
AAnd we frightened the small Dchildren away Em A
And our Dtalk was old and dust would flow through our veins and lo it was midnight
EmBack o' the kitchen doorA like the grim face on the caDthedral floor
EmAnd the solid book we wrote Acannot be found today D
EmAnd it was stalking time for the moonAboys the Bewlay BroBmthers
With our baAcks on the arch in the GDevil may be here
But he can't F#sing about that
F#sus4Oh and we were Asus2gone
Real cool Gmaj7traders we were so turned Emon you thought we were faCkers
BREAK 2: D Em A
And now that Ddress is hung the ticket pawned the factor Max that proved the fact
Is Emmelted down and Awoven on the edging of my pilDlow Em A
Now my Dbrother lays upon the rocks he could be dead he could be not
He Emcould be you he's Achameleon, comedian, corinthian Dand caricature
EmShooting up pie in the Asky the Bewlay DBrothers
In the Emfeeble and the badA the Bewlay BmBrothers
In the Ablessed and cold in the Gcrutch hungry dark
Was where we F#flayed our mark
F#sus4Oh we were Asus2gone
Kings of obliGmaj7vion we were so turned Emon in the mind warp pavillCion
BmLay me place and Cbake me pie I'm Fstarving for me Bmgravy
Leave my shoes and Cdoor unlocked I Fmight just slip aBmway, hey
Just for the Fday, hey, hey, please come aBmway, hey
Just for the Fday, hey, please come aBmway, hey
Please come aFway, just for the Bmday
Please come aFway, please come aBmway
Please come aFway, please come aBmway
