Biography:
Born Margaret Wander, Dessa’s first release with Doomtree, False Hopes, introduced a unique sensibility to underground hip-hop: literary, bitter-sweet, and wry. She alternated between a clever, droll persona as an emcee and her earnest, unaffected delivery as a singer with a low, clear alto voice. Her a cappella arrangements delicate and expressive, full of sad, old world harmonies. False Hopes attracted a varied set of ferociously dedicated fans in the Midwest and beyond.

Capo 1
[Intro]
Am F C E
[Verse]
Am F
I haven't met a locked door yet
C
that I couldn't beat
E
on a chain around my neck
E7
I keep my skeleton key
[Chorus]
Am
Don't waste your worry on me
F
I always find what I need
C
come and go as I please
E
I've got my skeleton key
Am
Don't waste your worry on me
F
I always find what I need
D
come and go as I please
F
I've got my skeleton key
[Verse]
Am F
By now it's just a simple trick
C
not much to see
E E7
you hear the tumblers catch and click
Am
then turn the key
F D
but I've found work and welcome everywhere I've been
F
cause everyone's got someplace they wanna be let in
[Chorus]
Am F C
Along the way the old men call me by my mother's name
E
she looked the same they say
Am F D
the children wave or hide behind their mothers' skirts, afraid
F
strangers here still seem strange
[Verse]
Am
they hear the accent
F
know I'm from nowhere near
C
but I speak the language
E E7
and I know the customs here
[Verse]
Am F
I come from over the horizon
D
pass through every dozen years
F
go home, tell of my arrival
E
the skeleton key's here
[Chorus]
Am F C E
I've got my, my skeleton, my skeleton key
Am F D
I've got my, got my, got my skeleton, my skeleton key
Am
Yeah
[Chorus]
Am F C E
don't you go waste all your worry on me
Am F D F Am
cause I'll make my way with my skeleton key

You can add an E7 after an E in the song wherever sounds good.
