Standard (EADGBE)

The rat is leaving town

The message is a song

The misery is gone

(CP1)

Once I had a dream

To sing before the queen

She didn't want to know

She wouldn't see the show

E E E E D A <-- Chord Prograssion 2 (CP2)

What a fright

I couldn't do it right

Oh what a night

(CP1)

Mystic demons fly

All about the sk

With memories of a clown

The saddest show in town

(CP1)

When I was seventeen

Me mother said to me

Be careful what you touch

You shouldn't take so much

(CP2)

I blew my mind

She was so kind

I could have cried

B B B B A G# <--Chord Progression 3 (CP3)

In my mind

I had to find

A kind of new way

Of being oh so cool

Like a blue blooded

Well studded

English fool

(Solo)

(CP1)

Speak about the past

Times are changing fast

Once I was so weak

I couldn't even speak

(CP1)

Shaking put a curse

Nothing could be worse

Walking through the door

Who could ask for more

(CP2)

Now I'm free

And I can see

That I am me

(CP1)

Spread the word around

The rat is leaving town

The message is a song

The misery is gone

(CP1)

Shaking out a curse

Nothing could be worse

Walking through the door

Who could ask for more

(CP2)

Now I'm free

And I can see

That I am me

Please stay away
