Ezra Bell - Japper dudas

^G The dapper Judas reaches ^Amback and slaps the students He says, "The ^Cmutt was an American ^Gman" Well, he ^Ghowls and he puffs after ^Amall that he can touch But, his ^Carms, they're never so long as his ^Ghands

^G The troubled leper shuts his ^Ameyes and does some guesswork Oh so ^Ccarefully with confidence and ^Gcrayons Saying ^Gdaily, "My allegiance goes to ^Amgardens where graffiti grows And ^Cchoirs of competing moans com^Gmand"

^GThat same troubled leper says, "^AmIt is not just the effort It will ^Ctake to finally make my ^Gstand It's a ^Gdifferent colour collar and a ^Amhundred thousand dollars For a ^Cdecent piece of arable ^Gland"

Around the ^Gbend Oh, where the ^Emgrass grows ^Amwild over ^Cevery merry ^Gmile And ^AmDan-Dan Schlemmer ^Csleeps out in the ^Gvan There comes one ^Emlong, soft ^Amsigh on the ^Cwind for you and ^GI And the ^Amgood fruit is a-^Cbend at every ^Gbranch

^G The hapless maiden looking ^Amback at beds she's laid in Says, "I've ^Cyet to meet the man who ^Gknows Well, they ^Gtell me between heavy breaths that, ^Amdarling, after god and death I ^Clong to know what's hid beneath your ^Gclothes

And the ^Gself-appointed middleman app^Amroaches with his brittle hands Says, "^CI don't ever go that ^Gclose But I ^Gwish there were a lover or ^Amsomeone I could lean on and ^Ctell them I know something that they ^Gdon't"

And I would ^Glie, lie, lie if it ^Ammakes you feel alright Though, it ain't ^Cworth the wait to lay a^Glone ^G But if you have to stay^Am, I will return someday With ^Cevery little thing that I ^Gstole

Oh, very ^Ggood Oh, where the ^Emgrass grows ^Amwild over ^Cevery merry ^Gmile And ^AmDanny Schlemmer ^Csleeps out in the ^Gvan There comes one ^Emlong, soft ^Amsigh on the ^Cwind for you and ^GI And the ^Amgood fruit is a-^Cbend at every ^Gbranch
