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

[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
