  • The intro is basically just like the first verse.
     
    (1)
  • Dm7 C/D
    Like father, like son
    Dm7 C/D
  • Not flesh nor fish nor bone, a red rag hangs from an open mouth
    Dm7 C/D
    Alive at both ends but a little dead in the middle
  • Dm7 C/D
    A-tumbling and a-bumbling he will go
    Em7/A F#m7/A
  • All the king's horses and all the king's men
    Em7/A F#m7/A
    could never put a smile on that face
  •  
    (2) follows the same pattern as (1)
     
  • He's a sly one, he's a shy one, wouldn't you be too?
    Scared to be left all on his own
    Hasn't a, hasn't a friend to play with the ugly duckling
  • The pressure on, the bubble will burst before our eyes
    All the while in perfect time
    his tears are falling on the ground
  • But if you don't stand up you don't stand a chance!
     
    This is a "chorus" bit, which comes after:
  • "...don't stand a chance"
    "...all to see at night"
    "...you'd better watch out"
  • "...just a pool of tears"
    (repeat)
    D(no 3rd) G#o D7 D G/D D A/D G/D

  • chance. you don't stand a :||
    tears. just a pool of tears
    out.
  • night. They don't have eyes
     
    Bridge 1
  • The second time through the bit above, the measure of the G/D chord becomes
    in 5/4 time, with a Gm6/D on the second half of beat 2. This only happens
    here, leading into the first bridge.
  •  
    C/D Dm7 Gm7 Gm Dmsus2,4 Dm add E
    Go a little faster now, you might get there in time
  • F Am7 Dm7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7
    Mirror mirror on the wall
    Eb Bb F
  • his heart was broken long before he ever came to you
    Am7 Dm7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7
    Stop your tears from falling
  • Eb Bb F
    The trail they leave is very clear for all to see at night
    Am7
  • all to see at night
    (to "chorus")
     
  • (3) like (1)
    In season, out of season
    what's the dff'rence when you don't know the reason?
  • In one hand bread, the other a stone
    the hunter enters the forest
    All are not huntsmen who blow thw huntsman's horn
  • By the look of this one, you've not got much to fear
     
    (4)
  • Here I am, I'm very firce and fright'ning
    Come to match my skill to yours
    Now listen here, listen to me, don't you run away now
  • I am a friend, I'd really like to play with you
    Making noises my little furry friend would make
    I'll trick him, then I'll kick him into my sack
  • You'd better watch out, you'd better watch out
    (to "chorus", no lyrics this time)
     
  • Bridge 2
    (just like bridge 1)
    I've got you, I've got you, you'll never get away
  • Walking home that night
    the sack across my back, the sound of sobbing on my shoulder
    when suddenly it stopped
  • I opened up the sack, all that I had
    a pool of bubbles and tears
    just a pool of tears
  • (to "chorus")
     
    Second time through chorus, go up to an A chord on the second half
  • of beat 2 (still in 4/4), then go to the ending
     
    Ending
  • Bsus4 B F#m
    All in all you are a very dying race
    A E
  • Placing trust upon a cruel world
    B
    You never had the things you thought you should have had
  • F#m
    and you'll not get them now
    A E B
  • and all the while in perfect time your tears are falling on the ground
     
  • PLAY TOO ..
