Ballad Of Tom Jones

[Em] [Cmaj7] x4

[Em]What did I do wrong?
Oh, you [G]nearly drove me cuckoo.
[Fm]Am I really all that bad?
You're worse than Hannibal Lector, Charlie Manson, Freddie Kruger.
[Em]Why are we still together?
Oh, I can't [G]leave you till you're dead.
[Fm]You mean, "till death do us part"?
I mean like cyanide strangulation or an axe through your head.

It was [Dm]lucky for us I turned the [G]radio on.
They [Dm]say that music soothes the [G]savage beast.
There was [Dm]something in that voice that [G]stopped us seeing red.
[G]The two of us would surely have ended up dead

You [C]stopped us from killing each [G]other. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
[C]You'll never know, but you [G]saved our lives. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
[C]I've never thrown my [Fm]knickers at you
And [G]I don't come from Wales.

Still [Em]haven't solved our problem.
You mean we [G]hate each other's guts
[Fm]Still wanna poison your pizza
And I still wanna cut off your nuts
I [Em]phoned the marriage guidance
I tied the [G]phone line round your neck
[Fm]I'm sick of all this hatred
Oh that'll be the arsenic making you sick.

You were a[Dm]bout to drive me over the [G]edge of a cliff
As I [Dm]tried to jump out, I knocked the [G]stereo on.
[Dm]You changed your mind and then [G]slammed on the brakes.
[G]It was lucky for us; we'd bought his greatest hits!

You [C]stopped us from killing each [G]other. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
[C]You'll never know, but you [G]saved our lives. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
[C]I've never thrown my [Fm]knickers at you
And [G]I don't come from Wales.

Play Intro

And [Em]now our war is over.
I've lost the [G]urge to break your neck.
I owe my [Fm]life to "What's new, pussy cat?".
Delilah stopped me hating you and wishing you dead.
Oh, I [Em]used to call you Satan.
And you were [G]Cruella De'ville.
But now you [Fm]call me your Delilah.
And now I'm not your Lucifer.
And I am just a pussycat.

But [Dm]just a word of [G]warning now
Just in [Dm]case we ever get [G]tired of his voice.
[Dm]I know the Mafia, [G]Godzilla, King Kong.
And [G]I know an atom bomb that's going for a song

You [C]stopped us from killing each [G]other. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
[C]You'll never know, but you [G]saved our lives. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
[C]I've never thrown my [Fm]knickers at you
And [G]I don't come from Wales.

[Em] [Fm] to fade
