Gmaj7 /A
From the courtyard, I floated in
Bm
and watched it go down.
A/F#m
Heard the cup drop;
thought, "Well,
F#m
that's why they keep them around."
C#m7 /B
The blackguard sat hard, down,
A
with no head on him now,
Dmaj7
and I felt so bad,
Gmaj7
cause I didn't know how
F#/D Em
to feel bad enough
D (Dmaj7, D7, Daug7)
to make him proud.
Gmaj7
By the time you read this,
Bm
I will be so far away.
A/F#m
Daddy longlegs, how in the world
F#m
am I to be expected to stay?
C#m7
In the night—
B A
in the night, you may hear me call
Dmaj7
Pa, stay your hand
Gmaj7
and steel your resolve.
F#/D Em
Stay where you are,
D
so long and tall.
D7 / Daug7
D C
Here's Lola--ta da!--to do
Bb F
her famous Spider Dance for you!
G A
Lighten up your pockets!
F Eb
Shake her skirts and scatter, there,
Bb Gm
a shrieking, six-legged millionaire
C
with a blight in his sockets.
D
Miss Montez,
C Bb
the Countess of Lansfeld,
F G A
appealed to the King of Bavaria,
F
saying, "Pretty papa,
Eb
if you are my friend—
Bb Gm
mister daddy longlegs, they are at it again!—
C
Can I see ya?"
D C
Poor Lola! A tarantula mounting
Bb
Countess Lansfeld's
F G
handsome brassiere,
A
while they all cheer.
F Eb
And the old king fell from grace,
Bb
while Lola fled,
Gm C
To save face and her career
Am Em B7 C
You caught a fly, floating by,
D F
Wait for him to drown in the dust;
E7 C
drown in the dust of other flies,
Am Em
whereby the machine is run,
B7 C
and the deed is done.
D F
Heaven has no word
E7
for the way you and your friends
C D
have treated poor Louis.
C Bb F D A (D, A)
May god save your poor soul, Lo-la!
G F Eb Bb
(But there is nothing I adore,
Cm G F C
apart from that whore's black heart.)
D C
Well, doesn't that just beat all!
Miss Gilbert,
Bb F
called to Castlemaine
G A
by the silver dollar and the gold glitter!
F
Well, I've seen lots,
Eb Bb
but never, in a million years,
Gm C
would think to see you, here.
D
Though the long road
C
begins and ends with you,
Bb F
I cannot seem to make amends
G A
with you, Louis.
F
When we go out,
Eb Bb Gm
they're bound to see you with me.

D C
At night, I walk in the park,
with a whip,
Bb
between the lines
F
of the whispering Jesuits,
G A
who are poisoning you against me.
F
There's a big black spider
Eb
hanging over my door.
Bb Gm
Can't go anywhere, anymore.
C
Tell me, are you with me?
D C
I called to you, several times,
Bb
while the change took place
F G
and then arrived, all night,
A
and I died.
F
But all these songs,
Eb Bb
when you and I are long gone,
Gm
will carry on.
C
Mud in your eye.
Am Em
You asked my hand,
B7 C
hired a band.
D F
"In your heart is all that you need;
E C
ask and you will receive," it is said.
B/C Am
I threw my bouquet,
Em
and I knocked 'em dead.
B7 C
Bottle of white, bottle of red.
D F
Helpless as a child,
E
when you held me in your arms,
C
and I knew that no other
B/C Am
could ever love me as you loved.
Em
Love me as you loved,
B7 C
But help me! I'm leaving!
D F
I remember everything,
E C
down to the sound of you shaving--
the scrape of your razor,
B/C Am
the dully-abrading black hair
Em
that remained
B7 C
when you clutched at me,
D F
that night I came upstairs, half-dead,
E
and, in your kindness,
C
you put me straightaway
in the cupboard,
B/C Am
with a bottle of champagne,
Em
and then, later, on a train.
B7 C
It was dark out, I was half-dead.
D F
I saw a star fall into the sky,
E
like a chunk of thrown coal,
C
as if god himself spat
B/C
like a cornered rat.
Am Em
I really want you to do this for me,
B7 C
will you have one on me?
D F
It was dark; I was drunk and half-dead,
E
and we slept, knocking heads,
C
sitting up in the star-smoking air,
B/C Am
knocking heads like buoys.
Em
Don't you worry for me!
B7 C
Will you have one on me!
D F
Meanwhile, I will raise my own glass
E
to how you made me fast
C
and expendable,
B/C Am
and I will drink to your excellent health,
Em
and your cruelty.
B7 C
Will you have one on me?
D F
--helpless as a child,
E
when you held me in your arms,
C
and I knew that no other
B D A B
could ever love me--
Oooh oooh ooh part : (B, D, A, B)
Gmaj7 A

D7 D
Well daddy longlegs, are you?
D7 D
Daddy longlegs, are you?
D7 Gmaj7
Daddy longlegs, are you proud?
F#/D, Em
