yea for the verses i jus play the 1 fret on the e string but i noticed some ppl do this
heres the words 2
Verse1:
Standin on the waters, castin your bread,
while the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
distant ships sailing into the mist
you were born with a snake in both of your fists
while a hurricane was blowing
freedon just around the corner for you
but with the truth so far off, wat good'll it do?
Chorus:
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high to the light of the moon
o,o,o,Jokerman
Verse2:
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
you rise up and say goodbye to no one
fools rush in where angels fear to tread
both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show one
Shedding off one more layer of skin
keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within
Chorus

Verse3:
you're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds
manipulator of crowds, youre a dream twister
your going to Soddom and Gomorrah but what do you care?
aint nobody there would want to marry your sister
friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame
you look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name
Chorus
Verse4:
Well the book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
the law of the jungle and of the sea are your only teachers
in the smoke of the twilight, on a milk white seed
Michelangelo could have indeed carved out your features
resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space
half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face
Chorus
Verse5:
Well, the riflemans stalking the sick and the lame
preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain
nightsticks and watercannons, tear gas, padlocks
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
false-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin
only a matter of time til the night comes steppin in
Chorus
Verse6:
It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray
a woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
he'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat
take the motherless children off the street
and place them at the feet of a harlot
o Jokerman, you kno wat he wants
o Jokerman, you dont sho any response
Chorus
yep 1 tab ever
