[Intro]
[C] [D] [G] [Em] [C] [D] [G]
[Verse1]
Well I spoke to this [C]man
[D] Said he’d been to the m[G]moon
[Em] Carved his name in the g[C]ground
Saw the world spinning r[D]round
(and) came back that after[G]afternoon.
[Verse2]
And I laughed at this [C]man
[D] Said he’d been lost at s[G]sea
[Em] Heard the sirens' c[C]call
Seen the pirates f[D]fall
To the monsters in the d[G]deep
[Chorus]
I said I’d heard some tall t[C]tales
[D] Some good stories in my t[Em]time
[Bm] So I asked him for pr[C]proof
And he showed me the tr[D]truth
There was dancing in his [G]eyes.
[Interlude]
[1st](you[horn](you can [interlude:]play the gu[C]it[D]ar[G] "[Em]rif[C]f"[D] h[G]ere, if you fancy)
[Verse3]
I could not believe thi[C]this man
[D] Said he was a millionaire [G]
[Em] He said: "I know I dress in r[C]rags
But I drive a vintage 'J[D]'Jag'
And I’ve got a diamond chandel[G]chandelier".
[Chorus]
I said I think I need a dr[C]drink
[D] And made my way outsid[Em]outside
[Bm] You know I’d swear this was a sp[C]spoof
If it wasn’t for the t[D]truth
There was dancing in his [G]eyes.
[Interlude]
[2nd] [horn] [interlude/solo:] [C] [D] [G] [Em] [C] [D] [G] [X2]
[Verse4]
(There isn't rhythm as such in the
last verse, just a strum per chord will do)
When I came back in the r[C]room
[D] The man had disapp[G]disappeared
[Em] He left a rock from the m[C]moon
An eyepatch and a d[D]diamond
From a chandel[G]chandelier.
