* THE DECEMBERISTS * Album: Her Majesty the Decemberists Song: Billy Liar Standard Tuning: EADGBe VERSE I
Billy Liar's got his Ghands in his pocketsEm Staring over at his Aneighbor's, knickers down.Em AHe's got his knickers down.Em A D So the summer is Geternity for you'Em Sleeping in until your Afather's shaking you downEm AHe's shaking you down.Em A And the Gmailroom shift gets a real short shrift As you F#mdole out the packages, no-one seems to want you aroundEm AAll skullking aEmround.A
CHORUS
DLet your Bmlegs lollD on the Bmlino D'Til your F#msinews spoilEm G A DWill you Bmstay hereD for aBmwhile, dear, D'Til the F#mradioEm plays Gsomething familiar' Plays Asomething familiar.

As he drifts to sleep with a moan and a weep He is decked by a Japanese geisha with a garland of pearls How she twists and twirls! CHORUS (Same Chords and Words) *ADD
