Standing on the waters casting your bread
Bm/A E/A A D/Awhile the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
A A7+Distant ships sailing into the mist
you were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
Bm7 E AFreedom just around the corner for you_
Bm7 E Abut with the truth so far off what good will it do_
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
A E D/F# D A D6 E Abird fly high by the light of the moon oh__ oh_ oh___ Jokerman
A A7+
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
Bm/A E/A A D/Ayou rise up and say goodbye to no one
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Bm/A E/A ABoth of their futures so full of dread you don’t show one
Bm7 E AShedding off one more layer of skin_
keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within_
E DJokerman dance to the nightingale tune
A E D/F# D A D6 E Abird fly high by the light of the moon oh__ oh_ oh___ Jokerman
A A7+
You’re a man of the mountains you can walk on the clouds
manipulator of crowds you’re a dream twister
A A7+you’re going to Sodom and Gomorrah
Bm/A E/A Abut what do you care ain’t nobody there would want to marry your sister
Friend to the martyr a friend to the woman of shame_
Bm7 E Ayou look into the fiery furnace see the rich man without any name_
E DJokerman dance to the nightingale tune
bird fly high by the light of the moon oh__ oh_ oh___ Jokerman
Well the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
Bm/A E/A A D/Athe law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
A A7+In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed
Michelangelo indeed could’ve carved out your features
Bm7 E Aresting in the fields far from the turbulent space_
Bm7 E Ahalf asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face_
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
A E D/F# D A D6 E Abird fly high by the light of the moon oh__ oh_ oh___ Jokerman
A A7+
Well the rifleman’s stalking the sick and the lame
Bm/A E/A A D/Apreacherman seeks the same who’ll get there first is uncertain
Nightsticks and water cannons tear gas padlocks
Bm/A E/A AMolotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
Bm7 E Afalse-hearted judges duing in the webs that they spin_
only a matter of time ‘til night comes steppin’ in_
E DJokerman dance to the nightingale tune
A E D/F# D A D6 E Abird fly high by the light of the moon oh__ oh_ oh___ Jokerman
A A7+
It’s a shadowy world skies are slippery gray
a woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
A A7+He’ll put the priest in his pocket put the blade to the heat
Bm/A E/A Atake the motherless children off the street and place them at the feet of a harlot
Oh Jokerman you know what he wants_
Bm7 E AOh Jockerman you don’t show any response_
E DJokerman dance to the nightingale tune
bird fly high by the light of the moon oh__ oh_ oh___ Jokerman
