Intro: F  C  F  C   

    F 
The guilty undertaker sighs 
    Am 
The lonesome organ grinder cries 
    Dm                               C 
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you 
Bb                                      C 
The cracked bells and washed-out horns 

Blow into my face with scorn 
         Am                              C 
But it's not that way, I wasn't born to lose you 

 
           F           Am 
Oh baby, I want you, I want you 
  Dm               C 
I want you, oh, so bad 
        F  
Baby, I want you 


The drunken politician leaps 
 Am 
Upon the street where mothers weep 
    Dm                                 C 
The saviours who are fast asleep, they wait for you 
      Bb 
And I wait for them to interrupt 
   C 
Me drinking from my broken cup 
    Dm                       C 
And asking me to open up the gate for you 


           F           Am 
Oh baby, I want you, I want you 
  Dm               C 
I want you, oh, so bad 
        F  
Baby, I want you 


Bridge:
 
    Am 
Now all my fathers, they've gone down 
Dm 
True love, they've been without it 
    Am 
But all their daughters put me down 
       Bb             C          F  C 
'Cause I don't think about it  


        F#         Ab  C# 
Baby, I want you 


          F# 
Now, your dancing child with his Chinese suit 
   Bbm 
He spoke to me and I took his flute 
      Ebm                          C# 
No, I wasn't very cute to him now, was I? 
  B 
I did it because he lied 
  C# 
Because he took you for a ride 
    Bbm                                C# 
And because time was on his side and because I... 

 
        F#          C# 
Baby, I want you, I want you 
  F#          C# 
I want you, I want you 
  F#          C# 
I want you, I want you
