A A A A G D <-- Chord Progression 1 (CP1)
Spread the word around
A A A A G D
The rat is leaving town
A A A A G D
The message is a song
A A A A G D
The misery is gone
(CP1)
Once I had a dream
To sing before the queen
She didn't want to know
She wouldn't see the show
E E E E D A <-- Chord Prograssion 2 (CP2)
What a fright
E E E E D A
I couldn't do it right
E E E E D A
Oh what a night

(CP1)
Mystic demons fly
All about the sk
With memories of a clown
The saddest show in town
(CP1)
When I was seventeen
Me mother said to me
Be careful what you touch
You shouldn't take so much
(CP2)
I blew my mind
She was so kind
I could have cried
B B B B A G# <--Chord Progression 3 (CP3)
In my mind
B B B B A G#
I had to find
B B B B A G#
A kind of new way
B B B B A G#
Of being oh so cool
B B B B A G#
Like a blue blooded
B B B B A G#
Well studded
B B B B A G#
English fool
(Solo)
(CP1)
Speak about the past
Times are changing fast
Once I was so weak
I couldn't even speak
(CP1)
Shaking put a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more
(CP2)
Now I'm free
And I can see
That I am me
(CP1)
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone
(CP1)
Shaking out a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more
(CP2)
Now I'm free
And I can see
That I am me
Please stay away
