A E F#m D
It took a lost weekend in a Hotel in Amsterdam
A E F#m D
And a double pneumonia in a single room

And the sickest joke was the price of the medicine
A E
Are you laughing at me now,
F#m D
May I please laugh along with you

[Verse 2]
A E F#m D
This morning I woke, from a deep unquiet sleep
A E F#m D
With ashtray clothes and miss lonely heart's pen
A E F#m D
With which I wrote for you a love song in tattoo upon my palm
A E F#m D
'twas stolen from me when Jesus took my hand
[Chorus] (w/Riff 1)
A E F#m D A E
You see,I.... I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it
F#m D A E F#m D
drop me and I'll fall to pie-ces so easily
[Pre-Verse]
A E F# D x2 (w/ Riff 1 and Riff 2)
[Verse 3]
A E F#m D
I was a king bee, with a head full of attitude
A E F#m D
Wore my heart on my sleeve like a stain
A E F#m D
and my aim was taboo - you could remain in the market place
A E F#m D
did I ever hey please did you woo my knees
[Chorus] (w/Riff 1)
A E F#m D A E
You see,I.... I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it
F#m D A E F#m D
drop me and I'll fall to pie-ces yea too easily
[Interlude]
C D
there's nobody esle to blame
C D
Will I hang my head in a crying shame
C D
There's nobody else to blame
C D A (into solo progression)
Nobody else except my sweet self a-gain
[Guitar Solo] (A E F#m D x4) (First A on the gain from again)

[Verse 4]
A E F#m D
It took a lost weekend in a Hotel in Amsterdam
A E F#m D
And a double pneumonia in a single room

Are you laughing at me now,

[Interlude] (w/Riff 1 and Riff 2)
[Verse 5]
A E F#m D
I was a king bee, with a head full of attitude

And astray heart on my sleeve wounded knees

And my one love song was a tattoo upon my palm

You wrote upon me when you took my hand
