Mr. Tinker
DmMr. Tinker was a Ftailor
And he A#had a neon sAign above his dGoorF C# C#
And he Dmcooked his meals and he Ftried to sleep
A# A G F
IC#n a two room shack directly behind the store
FAbove hiC#s drG#maj7esser was a picture of his wife who passed awa-aa-ay
FAnd nextC# to tGhatA there was a picture of the boy who couldn’t sta-aa-ay
Mr. Tinker was a jealous man
And he never smiled to the people who came to the store
And he envied them for the lifes they lived and the fun they had
And the colorful things they wore
It isn’t easy for a tailor when there’s nothing left to sew
He wishes he could mend his life but then there’s no one left to show
Dm C# F+ B
Pa-pa-pa-para-pa-pa-pa, poor Mr. Tinker
Dm C# F+ B
Pa-pa-pa-para-pa-pa-pa, poor Mr. Tailor
Mr. Tinker was a tailor
And the tailor has a well respected trade
But who needs Mr. Tinker
When all the suits you buy are already made
P-|a-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, poor Mr. Tinker
P-|a-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, poor Mr. Tailor
