Tom:
G [Verse]
G I was wallowing in squalor when a note came through the mail
C G From a light-fingered acquaintance who'd been lingering in jail
C G He had served a year of sentence when the fools had set him free
D G And he'd had a good idea he said he'd like to put to me [Verse]
G I said come on then, let's have it, there's a twinkle in his eye
C G He says let me put it this way, have you ever wondered why
C G The rich have so much money when, if push should come to crunch
D G You can only be in one room and only eat one lunch [Verse]
G A cogent observation, but I didn't have the time
C G I presumed this exposition must be leading to a crime
C G He said wait a precious moment I am trying to set the scene
D G If you liberate your mind my friend you'll soon see what I mean [Verse]
Gm He said have you ever wondered how a horse becomes a glue?
Cm Gm Or how my uncle's pencil reached a garden in Peru?
Cm Gm And have you tried valerian, the side-effects are strange
G D Gm There is no such thing as accident, for everything's arranged [Verse]
G I said listen friend your time inside has clearly flipped your mind
C G These are merely hypotheticals I haven't got the time
C G If it's blackmailing on Snapchat or a hold-up count on me
D G But this claptrap that you're spouting now just sounds like poetry [Verse]
Gm Do not be so narrow-minded, my erstwhile accomplice trilled
Cm Gm I've had lots of time for poetry it's left me rather thrilled
Cm Gm I've been reading the New York School: Frank O'Hara, Kenneth Koch
G D Gm And they've given me more pleasure than a thousand dirty jokes [Break]

D G [Verse]
Gm Well he's published by Macmillan now, he got a big advance
Cm Gm Which he spent on buying a farmhouse in a pleasant part of France
Cm Gm His first book won a Pulitzer, he's up for a Nobel
G D Gm They say you can't change human nature but he's doing rather well [Outro]
