No tongue in the bell and the fish wives ^Ayell, But ^E/Athey ^F#m7 might as well be mute. ^E/F# So you ^D/Gget to keep the pictures,^Bm7 That ^Cmaj7don’t seem lik^Ae muc^E/Ah.

Cold white ^F#mkeys under your ^Efingers, Now you’re thinkin?^Amaj7??, “That’s no subs^Gtitute, ^D/G It just don’^Gmaj7t do it like th^De song Of ^A/Da warm, warm body lov- ^B- ing your touch.”^A ^G#m7 ^F#

In the court they carve your legend With an apple in its jaw And the women you wanted They get their laughs Long silk stockings on the bedposts of refinement You’re too raw They think you’re too raw It’s the judgment of the moon and stars Your solitary path

^B Draw yourself a ^Abath ^E/A ^G#m7Think what you’d like to hav^F#e For supper, or take a ^E/Awalk E D/G A park, A bridge, A tree, A river

Re-^Dvoked, ^A/Dbut not yet ^Acancelled The ^Ggift ^D/Ggoes ^Gmaj7on, in ^Dsi-lence ^A/D In a bell ^F#m7 jar, ^B still the song.
