Tiger Lillies - Souvenirs
Am E
He's been around the world
Dm Am
And much of it was queer
Dm Am
He got a nasty little rash
Dm E
from a brothel in Tangiers.
Dm Am
A knife it missed his artery
Dm Am
in a harem in Algiers
Dm Am
And from a whore in Rotterdam
Dm E
he got Gonorrhoea.
F C
Now he works the fairground,
F C
looks back on his career
F C
And anyone who's interested
F
he shows his,
F
shows his,
E
souvenirs, souvenirs.
Am E
He lost a finger and an arm
Dm Am
to a grenadier
Dm Am
He lost an eye in Africa
Dm E
to a bushman's spear.
Dm Am
He's been in wicked storms
Dm Am
on all the seven seas
Dm Am
He's had scurvy and the plague
Dm E
and tropical disease.
F C
Now he works the fairground,
F C
looks back on his career
F C
And anyone who's interested
F
he shows his,
F
shows his,
E
souvenirs, souvenirs.
