A Dm A | |||
When we first met I didn't know what to do | |||
Dm A | |||
My old love lines were all worn out on you | |||
D D/C# Bm | |||
And the world walked round at my mouth | |||
A E A | |||
They lit me up and they snuffed me out | |||
Chorus | |||
A E A | |||
And I was everybody's boy | |||

To be the love of one true heart | |||

[Do opening riff here] | |||
A | |||
You won't know who to thank | |||
Dm A | |||
You won't know who to blame | |||
Dm A | |||
It's just a part of the Murdering Game | |||
'Cos down in the fleshpots | |||
Dm A | |||
Where they pay you in pounds | |||
They're laughing like drains | |||
Dm A | |||
And baying like bloodhounds | |||
D D/C# Bm | |||
For the Jack of all parades | |||
D E A A7 | |||
The Jack of all parades | |||
D | |||
Once I knew a girl | |||
Dm | |||
That looked so much like Judy Garland | |||
A | |||
That people would stop and give her money | |||
D Dm | |||
And everybody was Frankie, Jimmy or Bobby | |||
A E | |||
Not the Jack, the Jack of all Parades, | |||
A D E | |||
Oh the Jack, the Jack of all Parades, | |||
A E A | |||
Oh the Jack, of all Parades. | |||
[Intro riff again] | |||
A Dm A | |||
Now the way that I feel is no longer news | |||
Dm A | |||
You know my love and how to refuse it | |||
Cause you know where the door is | |||
D A | |||
And how to use it | |||
D D/C# Bm | |||
Oh you know you do | |||
A | |||
But from my chequered past | |||
Dm A | |||
To this shattered terrace | |||
Where you can't keep your mind off | |||
Dm A | |||
the Crimes of Paris | |||
And you can't keep your peace | |||
Dm A | |||
And try to forget it | |||
And I can't forgive you | |||
Dm A | |||
For things you haven't done yet | |||
A E A | |||
Oh I was anybody's boy | |||
D D/C# Bm | |||
But soon that thrill just fades | |||
D E A E F#m | |||
To be the love of one true heart | |||
D E A | |||
Or the Jack of all parades | |||
A [tacet] | |||
When we first met I didn't know what to do | |||
A [tacet] | |||
My old love lines were all worn out on you | |||
D D/C# Bm | |||
And the world walked 'round my mouth | |||
A | |||
I didn't mean to say it | |||
E A | |||
I just blurted it out | |||
D D/C# | |||
As you pretended not to notice | |||
Bm | |||
Or be taken aback | |||
E A | |||
And I loved you there and then | |||
E A | |||
It's as simple as that | |||
A E A | |||
Oh I was everybody's boy | |||
D D/C# Bm | |||
But soon that thrill just fades | |||
D E A E F#m | |||
To be the love of one true heart | |||
