And he laid it on the stool
He said: "withD the congegration running, Why should CI play the fool'" A(add2)
A(add2) Well I used to be a woman, you know
CI took you for a ride, DI let you fly my airplane CIt looked good for your Apride. A'cause you're the kind of man you know CWho likes what he says. DI wonder what's it's like To be so far Cover my Ahead. Well, the Elady made the wedding
EAnd she brought along the ring. She got Ddown on her Cknees And said: C'let's get on with this thing'. A7
Well I A7used to be a folk singer CKeeping managers alive, DWhen you saw me on a corner And Ctold me I was jive. A7 So I A7unlocked your mind, you know CTo see what I could see.
