Biography:
Marianne Faithfull (born 29 December 1946 in London) is an English singer-songwriter and actress whose career spans more than four decades. Her early work in pop and rock music in the 1960s was overshadowed by her struggle with drug abuse in the 1970s. After a long commercial absence, she returned late in 1979 with the highly acclaimed album, Broken English. Faithfull's subsequent solo work, often critically-acclaimed, has at times been rather overshadowed by her personal history.

[Intro]
D D/C# D/B D/A G D Em A
[Verse]
D
He walks along
D/C#
singing his fairy song,
D/B
picking up magic that
D
grows at his feet.
D
She says her same
D/C#
her peculiar way,
D/B
dreaming good fortune on
D G
everyone's street.
[Chorus]
C
Say, hey,
F
have you heard
C F
blue whiskey's the rage ?
Am C F C
I'll send you a jug in the mor-ning.
D G D G
It is absurd to live in a cage,
Em F#m A
you know there's got to be something better.
[Verse]
D
As they go by,
D/C#
don't look with eagle's eyes,
D/B
smile on your jailors
D
until they grow weak.
D
Nothing can compare
D/C#
to something that's almost there
D/B
to tear up the madness
D G
that all of us seek.
[Chorus]
C
Say, hey,
F
have you heard

blue whiskey's the rage ?
Am C F C
I'll send you a jug in the mor-ning.

It is absurd to live in a cage,
Em F#m A
you know there's got to be something better.
