Intro: | [F#] | [C#/F] | [F#] | [C#/F] |
Verse: | [F#] | [F#] +1 extra beat | [C#] | [C#] | [C#] +1 extra beat | [F#] |
Chorus: | [B] | [C#] | [F#] - [F#] - [B] - [Bbm] | [C#] | [C#] | [B] | [C#] | back to Intro
The placement of the chords might not be 100% but this is the ONLY chord/lyric for
this song (which is a damn shame that the tune isn't more well known). Definitely
youtube the song for help :D
[F#] [C#/F] [F#] [C#/F]
[F#]Your mother used to take the cure
She kept plastic on the furniture in the living r[C#]oom
You used to tell your friends
If you never saw that place again it's be too [F#]soon
But your college beau didn't seem so bad
You brought him home to Mom and Dad like you're 'sposed to [C#]do
But he wouldn't account for himself
And he got along better with the hired help than he did with [F#]you
[B]No big loss, I don't [C#]suppose
[F#]Brush it away like a f[B]ly off a rose
[Bbm]We're all bound to miss a time or t[C#]wo
Iolanthe
[INTRO]
[F#]Your father always held his ground
He never liked you hanging round with the lesser k[C#]ind
He suffered not the weak
And he was never loath to speak his twisted mi[F#]nd
He liked to watch an evening pass
Clinking the ice in his bourbon glass while you played your s[C#]cales
With eyes that burned right through
He would say he always knew you were bound to f[F#]ail
[B]Shake it off and let it [C#]go
[F#]Brush it away till the [B]light it shows
[Bbm]We can't help what came bef[C#]ore
Iolanthe
Well w[B]ho's that standing t[C#]here'
[F#]Whatcha been doing la[B]tely'
Your [Bbm]clothes not long outta st[C#]yle
[B]You gave us all quite a s[C#]care
But the y[F#]ears were hardly w[B]asted
[Bbm]Only missing for a [C#]while
[B]Don't sweat the losses, let em [C#]go
[F#]Toss em all out where the t[B]all grass grows
[Bbm]We're all bound to get our sha[C#]re
Iolanthe
[INTRO]
Well who's that standing there'
Whatcha been doing lately'
Your clothes not long outta style
You gave us all quite a scare
But the years were hardly wasted
Only missing for a while
Don't sweat the losses, let em go
Toss em all out where the tall grass grows
We're all bound to get our share
Iolanthe
