[Verse 1]
[D]The[G][D][G][D][G][D][G]
[D]manager
is waiting [G]to be [D]paid[G]
[D]Along with priests and
deacons [G]of his [D]court
[G]A qua[D]rtermaster, quite a man,
a [G]mistress of the line
Has found a last cent avenue of pain
[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]A Mar[D]di Gras just passed this
[G]way [D]a while [G]ago
[D]Making hungry people of us [G]all[D][G]
[D]Along the Mississippi [G]you can
hear the fiddlers play
Fandangos and boleros to the lord
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Many [D]times, many tried,
[G]Simple stories are the best[D][G]
Keep in [A]mind, the wishful kind,
[G]Don't want to be like all
the rest.

[Verse 4]
[D]My uncle was a vicar [G]in
[D]the big [G]parade
[D]Selling fountain pens that [G]never [D]write[G]
[D]San Sebastian gamblers
[G]never cheat nor lie
They know good fences
make [D]good neighbours

[Verse 5]
[A]I wish I knew what time of yea[G]r it was[A] What kind of people will be the[G]re Whe[A]n gruesome tales of two cities[G] ran Running all the way Father[D] might have h[G]ear[D]d h[G]is [D]pra[G]yer[D]s w[G]ere[D][G]
[D]answered [G]Inh[D]ibitions all the[G] way from hom[D]e Con[G]sid[D]er now,
consider [G]then before the deed is done The blood of consolation runs so [D]true [G]Many times, man[D]y tri[G]ed, Simple stories are the best [D]Kee[G]p in mind, the wi[A]shful kind, [G]Don't want to be like all the rest.
