Intro
(drum beat, 2 bars)
Verse 1:
G Bm/F#
She wandered through the garden fence
G7/F C
Said I've brought at great expense
(C) F
A potion guaranteed to bring
G
Relief from all your suffering
[2: And] though I said you don't exist
She grasped me firmly by the wrist
Threw me down upon my back
Strapped me to her torture rack
G7 C
And without further argument
Am D7sus4 D7
I found my mind was also bent
G7 C
Upon a course so devious
Am D7sus4 D7
It only made my torment worse
Verse 2:
She said I see you cannot speak
Is it your voice that is too weak
Is it your tongue that is to blame
Maybe you cannot speak for shame
Or has your brain been idle too
Now it will not think for you
I hastened to make my reply
Found that I could only lie
[3: And] Like a fool I believed myself
And thought I was somebody else
She could see what I was then
And left me on my own again
[repeat verse 2; organ solo over first eight lines]
[repeat verse 1]
Coda:
organ solo over verse chords [original LP pressing fades; CD
