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. 


 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. 

 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.
