Wayward Boy chords and lyrics - OSCAR BRAND

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]I walked [G]the[A] st[D]reet with a tap to[G]
my feet. [D]I heard a voice above me.
A lovely maid looked [G]out and said,
I [A]need someone to love [D]me.
Says
I, my dear, you needn't fear,
for I have heard your pleading.
[A]To fin[D]d your joy with a way[G]ward boy,
he's [A]got just what you're [D]needing.[G][A][D]
I heard of you, my [G]wayward [A]boy,
your [D]name is far exalted
But I won't come down, I can't come down,
my [A]bedroom door is [D]bolted
My father is a minister,
my maidenhead does [A]cherish
[D]Nightly he does [G]lock me in,
so [A]lonely I do [D]perish[G][A]
[D]Well the fence was small, I shi[G]nnied up the wall,
I [D]stood there right beside her
With some alarm, she [G]lifted up her arm,
[A]she grabbed some clothes to [D]hide her.
Says, ah, young maid, don't be afraid,
your future can be thrill[A]in'.
If [D]you're the one that [G]likes a bit of fun,
the [A]wayward boy is [D]willin'.
[G]

[Verse 2]
[A]
[D]Well, she jumped in bed, and she cov[G]ered up her head,
and she [D]said, I couldn't find her.
She knew damn well [G]she lied like hell,
I [A]jumped in right be[D]hind her.
Shove my chest up to her breast,
I shook her like a toy
When I hit the bell,
she [G]knew damn well why they [A]called me the
Wayward
[D]Boy
[G]Whistling[A]
[D]Well, the bed broke down, I lan[G]ded on the ground,
her [D]father clubbed my gun in
I jumped through the glass and landed on my [G]ass,
I [A]got to my feet a [D]-runnin'
As on I sped, I turned my head,
but a shotgun blast had blinded [A]me
For [D]weeks in bed,
I [G]was pickin' out the lead
With a [A]mirror held be[D]hind [G]me[A][D]
Some years went by, I [G]woke up with a sigh
As [D]fancy did remind me
So one fine day, I [G]made my way
To the [A]gal I'd left be[D]hind me
She was still locked in to ward off sin
She didn't look much older
[A]But she [D]had five girls, seven little [G]boys
And a [A]baby on her [D]shoulder[G][A][D]
