(The ones with brackets probably aren't the right chord names, but the bracketed
part is right, watch his hands, they're very clear)
he occasionally hammers D--0h3-- in both the E and C chords
and B--0h3-- in the A7 chord
Intro: E, C, A7, E
VERSE:
E
cheshire grinning villian of my pantomime
C
swagger out your vortex just in time
A7 E
to catch harlequin and columbine out of costume
E
come cobra charmer and crash my gate
C
trick or treater swindle MDMA
A7 E
and let the slapstick clown swap lipstick with pantaloon
CHORUS:
E C
and we're going for the jugular and we're going downtown
A7 E
hopscotch through my playground doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo
C
hey de-de bop, hey de-de bop bop
A7
hey de-de bop, hey de-de bop bop
E
hey de-de bop, hey de-de bop bop
VERSE:
Goddess in an infinity cove cut the caper in a leotard of gold
does the way she cavort not disturb your political view?
let's masquerade on the promenade, let's foxtrot across your map
it's a hoedown, a showdown, a shindig and a knees-up too
CHORUS:
and we're going for the jugular and we're going down town
hopscotch through my playground, doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo
BRIDGE: (the chord progression here is pretty quick, watch his hands)
C#m G#aug
No flame burns brighter than yours
E/G# F#11
No flame burns brighter than yours
Aadd2 E F#11
indeed many try
C#m G#aug
so tie the knot into your tie
E/G# F#11
zip your zip & flick your zippo light
Aadd2 E Badd4 E
we have the target in our sight
End on E
