T. Total Tommy

Capo on I

Intro: G Em Am D7 (2X) G Am 

To the sad-eyed misinterpreted (Am) hung-up child of clay
(D7) So the drunken poet's pretty words (G) didn't help you find your way
Was it your mistake for thinkin' he was (Am) born before his time
(D7) Or was it his for thinkin' he might save you with his (G) flimsy rhyme 

T. Total Tommy took a toke of tea, black cats backin' up a big oak tree
(Am) Tick tocks tickin' out a tune on time, last words lookin' for a line to rhyme  
(D7) Saw fish swimming in the sea-saw-sea but me 
Well I'm only lookin' (G) (Em) (Am) (D7)

(G) I see so many with no place tonight (Am) their sleepy heads to lay 
(D7) With pen in hand I take a stand (G) I got nothin' deep to say 
Some words are better left to whisper (Am) only to the wind 
(D7) Some men kill with bullets Lord (G) others use a pen 

Sidewalks singin' of a troubled time, small talks marchin' to a nursery rhyme 
(Am) Day trippers trippin' on a mornin' high stop watch watchin' for a chance to die 
(D7) Bad dogs barkin' up an empty tree but me 
Well I'm only cryin' (G) (Em) (Am) (D7)
