Sing Another Song, Boys

"Let's sing another song, boys, this one has grown old and bitter..."

Intro: A

     A       E           A   Asus4 A
Ah his fingernails, I see they're broken
D                  A   Asus4 A
His ships, they're all on fire
Bm
The moneylender's lovely little daughter
  A                        Asus4 A
Ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire
C#m                 F#m(iv)
She spies him through the glasses
       C#m    D         A   Asus4 A
From the pawnshops of her wicked father
C#m             F#m(iv)
She hails him with a microphone
           C#m         D       A     Asus4 A
That some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her
Bm               A   Asus4 A
She tempts him with a clarinet
F#m          E
She waves a Nazi dagger
A         E       A   Asus4 A
She finds him lying in a heap
         E     A   Asus4 A
She wants to be his woman
D
He says, "Yes, I just might go to sleep
        A                         Asus4 A
But kindly leave, leave the future, leave it open."
Bm
He stands where it is steep
     A                            Asus4 A
Oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one
C#m                F#m
His hand upon his leather belt now
            C#m     D        A   Asus4 A
Like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner
C#m                    F#m
And she will learn to touch herself so well
        C#m     D     A   Asus4 A
As all the sails burn down like paper
Bm             A   Asus4 A
And he has lit the chain
F#m           E
Of his famous cigarillo
A                    E            A   Asus4 A
Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon
            E         A   Asus4 A
At least not the one that we're after
Bm
It's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends
      A
And it carries no survivors
C#m                  F#m
But let's leave these lovers wondering
    C#m     D     A   Asus4 A
Why they cannot have each other
C#m              F#m
And let's sing another song, boys
         C#m  D     A   Asus4 A
This one has grown old and bitter
      Bm
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
A
La, la, la, la, la, la,...
Bm
La, la, la...
A
La...

Outro: Bm
