D#                          Cm
Falling for the creep, the body leech,
here he comes
A#                  F                         D#
Vicious hypnosis, clenched fist saying it's wrong
                     Cm
To want more than a folk song
      A#                             F
Underneath the shaker knit, he's a brick wall
          D#                        Cm
She keep falling for the trick, vegetariate
sing-along
 A#                           F Gm F Gm F
Give a little kick with your fine thigh-high

F               A
Do-do-do, we're on to you
         G
Tearing her down, talking her
down under your breath
          D#
Making a mess
             Cm
See, she is happy you wanna break it
F               A
Do-do-do, we're on to you
         G
Tearing her down, talking her down under your breath
          D#
Making a mess
             Cm
See, she is happy you wanna break it

Chorus:
F               A
Do-do-do, we're on to you
       G
Your phony roots, borrowed guitar
D#                             Cm
Telling her what to think we are
                  F
You're the number one wet blanket
D#                Cm                         F
Hardly a day goes by you don't try to break down
No, I don't buy it
        D#                 Cm     F
You're still around, I wonder why
She just keeps

Falling for the creep, the body leech, here he comes
Vicious hypnosis, clenched fist saying it's wrong
To want more than a folk song
Underneath the shaker knit, he's a brick wall
She keep falling for the creep
The body leech coming on
Vicious hypnosis, clenched fist saying

      D#                        Cm
It's wrong to want more than a folk song
      D#                        Cm
I'm wrong to want more than a folk song
      D#                        Cm
I'm wrong to want more than a folk song
      A#                             F
Underneath the shaker knit, he's a brick wall
          D#                         Cm
She keep falling for the trick, vegetariate
sing-along
 A#                          F Gm F Gm F
