Intro

(descending piano glissando)

piano arr. for guitar [2x: band enters 2nd time]:

Verse 2

  GmMy AmazGon six-tD♯riggered bA♯ride

  NA♯ow searching for a pCmlace to hGmide

  SGmtill sees trGuth quite D♯easiA♯ly

  SA♯hrouds all else in CmmystGmery

  While mCmadmen D♯7 in top Gm hats and tails

  Cm Impale themsD♯7elves on Gm six inch nails

  And sA♯ome ArGmabian Cmalso-Gmran

  A♯ ImpersonGmates a wCmatering Gmcan

[repeat intro w/full band after each verse]

Verse 2

Some Santa Claus-like face of note

Entreats my ears to set afloat

My feeble, sick, and weary brain

And I am overcome with shame

And hide inside my overcoat

And hurriedly begin to quote

And some Arabian sheik most grand

Impersonates a hot dog stand

Instrumental break

(guitar solo over verse chords)

Verse 3

Red Cross ambulance outside

Could only mean that I must hide

'Til dusk and finally the night

When I will make a hasty flight

Across the sea and far away

To where the weary exiles stay

And some Arabian oil well

Impersonates a padded cell

Coda

  And sA♯ome AGmrabian Cmoil wGmell

  A♯ ImpersonGmates a Cmpadded cGmell

[repeat intro; end cold on last Gm of 2nd repeat]
