I^Dntro s^Dtrumed^Em and i^A7nstrumental. [Verse 1] And so the ^Dstory goes, they wore the clothes, They ^Dsaid the things, to make it seem: im^Emprobable.^A7 Like the whale of a ^Dlie, they hope it was.^D [Ri^Emff 1] ^A7 And the ^Dgoodmen, tomorrow, had their ^Dfeet in the wallow, And their ^Emheads of brawn were nicer shorn, And ^A7how they bought their positions with ^Dsaccharin and trust.^D And the ^Emworld was asleep, to our ^A7latent fuss.^D [Ins^Dtrumental]

[Pre-Chorus 1]

^EmSighing they swirl through the streets ^A7like the crust to the sun; [Chorus 1] The Bewlay- ^BmBrothers^Bm... In our ^Awings that bark^A... Flashing ^Gteeth of brass^G... Standing ^F#7tall in the dark... ^F#sus4Oh!... And we were ^Asus2gone!... ^Asus2Hanging out with your dwarf^G-men...^G We were so ^G/F#turned ^Emon!... ^EmBy your lack of conclu^C-sions...^D(Let s^Dtring ^Emring ^A7in C and go again struming)

[Verse 2]

Well, ^DI was stone and he was wax So ^Dhe could scream and still relax: ^EmUnbelievable. ^A7 And we frightened the small ^Dchildren away. ^D[Riff^Em 1] ^A7 And our ^Dtalk was old and dust would flow, Thru our ^Dveins and lo! It was midnight back^Em-at the kitchen door. ^A7 Like the grim face on the ^Dcathedral floo^Dr. ^Em And the solid book we wrote ^A7cannot be found today. ^D[Inst^Drumental]

[Pre-Chorus 2]

^Em And it was stalking time for the moonboys;^A7... [Chorus 2] The Bewlay- ^BmBrothers^Bm... With our ^Abacks on the arch^A... And the ^GDevil may be here^G... But he can^F#7't sing about that... ^F#sus4Oh!... And we were ^Asus2gone!... Real cool ^Gtraders^G... We were so ^G/F#turned ^Emon!...^Em You thought we were ^Cfakers!...^D(Let st^Dring ri^Emng in C ^A7and go again struming)

[Verse 3]

Now the ^Ddress is hung, the ticket pawned, The factor max that ^Dproved the fact is ^Emmelted down. And woven on the ^Aedging of my ^Dpillow. ^D[Riff^Em 1] ^A7 And my ^Dbrother lays, upon the rocks, He ^Dcould be dead, he could be not, and he ^Emcould be you. He's ^A7chameleon, comedian, Corinthian and ^Dcaricature..^D7. ...^Em Shooting up pie-in-the-^A7sky... The Bewlay Bro^Dthers.^D..[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus 3]

In the ^Emfeeble and bad;...^A7 [Chorus 3] Bewlay- ^BmBrothers.^Bm.. In the ^Ablessed and cold^A... ... In the ^Gcrutch-hungry dark... Was where we ^F#7flayed our mark... ^F#sus4Oh!... And we were ^Asus2gone!... Kings of obli-^Gvi-on... We were so ^G/F#turned ^Emon!... In the mind-warp pavi-^Cli-on...^D(Let st^Dring ri^Emng in C ^A7and go again struming)

[Bridge]

^BmLay me place and ^Cbake me pie I'm ^Fstar-ving for me g^Bmra-vy! ^BmLeave my shoes and ^Cdoor un-locked I ^Fmight just slip a-^Bmway, Hey!... [Outro riff]

[Outro]

Just for the ^Fday, Hey!... Please come a^Bmway, Hey!... Just for the ^Fday, Hey!... Please Come a^Bmway, Hey!... Please come a^Fway, Hey!... Just for the ^Bmday... Please come a^Fway!... Please come a^Bmway!... Please come a^Fway!... Please come ^Bmaway!... A^Fway!... A^Bmway!... ^FHey!
