AThis is it folks, over the top A A/G x8
[Verse 1]
AHe was selling postcards from a paper stand AThe whiskey bottle in his withered hand APut his finger on a photo from an old magazine ASaw himself in the shadow of his dream D AThey found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown ATold him his feet stank and took him downtown ACalled him agitator, spy and thief AShut him up in solitary third degree
[Chorus]
Take a Dlong Eline Take a Dlong Eline Take a Dlong Eline EReel him Ain
A A/G x2 [Verse 2]
AHe tried to appeal to the king of might ASaid "I'm just exercising my sacred right" AThe king he said "You ain't got no rights AYou're a madman, a traitor, get outta my sight"
[Chorus]
Take a Dlong Eline Take a Dlong Eline Take a Dlong Eline EReel him Ain
[Guitar Solo in C 12th fret] C Cm G Bm E C Cm G Bm E A A/G x2 [Verse 3]
AThey found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown ATold him his feet stank and took him downtown ACalled him agitator, spy and thief AShut him up in solitary third degreeD AThen they put him aboard a well wound whirlwind APulled out his teeth and they told him to grin AHe gave them a smile, pulled out a bottle of wine AAnd said "I never existed, you've been wasting your time"
[Chorus]
Take a Dlong Eline Take a Dlong Eline Take a Dlong Eline EReel him Ain
Take a Dlong Eline Take a Dlong Eline Take a Dlong Eline EReel him Ain
Take a Dlong Eline Take a Dlong Eline Take a Dlong, long long long Eline EReel him Ain
