Intro...
...You can wear your new white shoes in the muddy afternoon
Walking past as day drunks stoop
They whistle with their hands
But I could be your catcall, too
Anything you wanna do
Anything you wanna do
>>>
..You can take your slide trombone
Play it in your catacombs
Find a town that moves real slow
And turn it on its head
And I could be your pharaoh's tomb
Anything you wanna do
Lover, anything you wanna do
>>>
NOTE: In these chorus' the F chord is played in full with a bar chord over the 1st fret (133211)...
And if you want to be common
I can claim that I tamed you
A demigod in a bonnet
They're going to know it ain't true
...then on the low E string play fret ...1...3...1...3...
>>>
...You can paint your nails lime green
Rent yourself a limousine
Kidnap the professor's niece
Tell them that she's dead
We'll party in a hotel room
Anything you wanna do
Sister, anything you wanna do
>>>
>>>
...You can get your hair all wet
Sleeping on the riverbed
Kiss a frog and then dissect
You got to find out what's inside
And you can have my bad side, too
Anything you wanna do
Sure, anything you wanna do
>>>
>>>
And if you want to be common
I will claim that I tamed you
A demigod in a bonnet
They're going to know it ain't true
...then on the low E string play fret ...1...3...1...3...
>>>
And yes, you are King David's star
And the crescent moon, and the crescent moon
You my sweet the Bodhi tree
I sit beneath, and I sit beneath
>>>
>>>
..You can wear your new white shoes in the dirty afternoon
Walking through the traffic fumes
A flower in your hair
And I will swing upon your moods
Anytime you want me to
Just tell me what you wanna do
..Anything you wanna do
..Anything you wanna do
