Verse 1
 
          Dadd4                         G5/D 
There's a tall thin man standing in the shadows 
        Dadd4                                   G5/D 
When he calls your name his voice is strong and clear 
       Dadd4                        G5/D  
It's a dark and smoky place, so you can't quite see his face 
   Dadd4                                G5/D 
He pulls you close and whispers in your ear 

Verse 2
 
       D                               G 
And he tells you he was born into some money 
       D                              G 
But it didn't mean he had to sit around 
       D                              G 
And he knows a thing or two about the things that you should do 
   D                                 G 
If you don't want to take life lying down
