The Miniature Philosopher Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]He's a miniature phi[Bdim]lo sophe[Fdim]r
[Bdim]He stand[Cm]s five foo[G]t three[F]
[Adim]So no one [Ebdim]takes him [Ebm]seriously[F#][Bb][G]
He's in [Bbm]love with Gertrude Lullaby
But she doesn't care for [Aaug]him[F]
He's like a [D]house boy
To Miss Lullaby
And their [Aaug]future looks very [Cm]dim
He's [G]a miniature

[Verse 2]
[Bdim]philo so[Fdim]pher
He takes [Cm]notes on [G]all he [Cm]reads
[F]But[Adim] that doesn't[Ebdim]
[F#]satis[Bb]fy his ne[G]eds
He's a [Bbm]desk clerk at the
bank and trust
There's so many contracts
and [Aaug]paperwork to [F]do
He gets so [D]busy at the bank and trust
There is no [Aaug]time for
Nietzsche or [Cm]Camus

[Verse 3]
He's [G]a miniature [Bdim]philosopher
[Fdim]He writes essa[C]ys on Vo[G]lt[F]aire[Adim]
But [Ebdim]if he died n[F#]o one wo[Bb]uld care[G]
He [F#]doesn't know why

[Verse 4]
his life
turned out this [B]way
[Ebaug]No one ever r[C#dim]eads his disser[Aaug]
[A]tations [D]or [G]allegoric [A]plays
[Aaug]So he comforts[Cm] himself
[C]while search[G]ing a [Am]rhyme
That [A]the public rarely recognize a
[F]genius in their [Gm]time
[C](poor little guy)
He's [G]a miniature [Bdim]philo s[Fdim]opher[E]
Though he [Cm]hasn't [G]got a
[F]friend[Adim]
[Ebdim]He's sure [Ebm]he'll be famous [Bb]in the e[G]nd
