INTRO: F C F C
The [F]guilty undertaker sighs
The [Am]lonesome organ grinder cries
The [Dm]silver saxophones say I should re[C]fuse you
[Bb]The cracked bells and washed-out horns[C]
Blow into my face with scorn
But it's [Am]not that way, I wasn't born to l[C]ose you
CHORUS:
Oh baby, I [F]want you, I [Am]want you
I [Dm]want you, oh, so [C]bad
Baby, I [F]want you
The drunken politician leaps
U[Am]pon the street where mothers weep
The [Dm]saviours who are fast asleep, they [C]wait for you
And I [Bb]wait for them to interrupt
Me [C]drinking from my broken cup
And [Dm]asking me to open up the [C]gate for you
CHORUS:
Oh baby, I [F]want you, I [Am]want you
I [Dm]want you, oh, so [C]bad
Baby, I [F]want you
BRIDGE:
Now [Am]all my fathers, they've gone down
[Dm]True love, they've been without it
But [Am]all their daughters put me down
'Cause [Bb]I don't think a[C]bout it[F][C]

Baby, I [F#]want you[Ab][C#]
Now, your [F#]dancing child with his Chinese suit
He [Bbm]spoke to me and I took his flute
No, I [Ebm]wasn't very cute to him now, [C#]was I?
I [B]did it because he lied
Be[C#]cause he took you for a ride
And [Bbm]because time was on his side and be[C#]cause I...
CHORUS: (## fade to end ##)
