Capo 5
[Verse]
[C]The guilty undertaker sighs,
The [Em]lonesome organ grinder cries,
The [Am]silver saxophones say I should[G]should refuse you.
The [F]cracked bells and washed-out horns
[G]Blow into my face with scorn,
But it's [Am]not that way,
I wasn't born to [G]lose you.
[Chorus]
I [C]want you, I [Em]want you,
I [Am]want you so [G]bad,
Honey, I want [C]you.
[Verse]
The [C]drunken politician leaps
U[Em]Upon the street where mothers weep
And the [Am]saviors who are fast asleep,
They[G]They wait for you.
And I [F]wait for them to interrupt
[G]Me drinkin' from that broken cup
And [Am]ask me to
Open up the [G]gate for you.
[Chorus]
I [C]want you, I [Em]want you,
I [Am]want you so [G]bad,
Honey, I want [C]you.
[Bridge]
Now [Em]all my fathers, they've gone down,
[Am]True love they've been without it.
But [Em]all their daughters put me down
'Cause [F]I don't think abou[G]about it.
[Verse]
[C]Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And [Em]talk with my chambermaid.
[Am]She knows that I'm not afraid
To [G]look at her
[F]She is good to me
[G]And there's nothing she doesn't see.
She [Am]knows where I'd like to be
[G]But it doesn't matter.
[Chorus]
I [C]want you, I [Em]want you,
I [Am]want you so [G]bad
Honey, I [C]want you.
[Verse]
[C]Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
He [Em]spoke to me, I took his flute.
[Am]No, I wasn't very cute to him,
[G]Was I?
But I [F]did it, though, because he lied
[G]Because he took you for a ride
And [Am]because tine was on his side
And [G]because I...
[Chorus]
I [C]want you, I [Em]want you,
I [Am]want you so [G]bad
Honey, I [C]want you.
