Verse 
Em           C 
And the hot hard healer 

G                  C 
Is a sweet street feeler 

D               C 
And a wild wet wheeler 

Em           C 
The pink prince of failures 

G                  C 
Is a spoiled sea sailor 

Em           C 
With terns and wailers

Pulled up the ribbon 

C                    G 
And brought into the light 

Bm                  C 
Through the window, the daw
