G# A            G# A      G       F#     F
    Arnold Layne    had a strange hobby.

E                    A         G       D     E
 Collecting clothes, moonshine washing line.

     D    C   A
They suit him fine.

G# A           G# A       G       F#      F
    On the wall    hung a tall    mirror.

E                  A           G    D   E
 Distorted view,   see-through baby blue.

   D   C
He dug it.

G   D      A      C    G       D     C     G      D
Oh, Arnold Layne, it's not the same, takes two to know.

E            G            A
Two to know, two to know, two to know.

                 D D G G E E A
Why can't you see?

G# A              G# A            G# A
     Arnold Layne,   Arnold Layne,     Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne!


G# A                G# A        G       F#      F
    Now he's caught,    a nasty sort of person.

E                    A             G     D    E
They gave him time,  doors bang,   chain gang.

   D     C
He hates it!

G   D      A      C    G       D     C     G      D
Oh, Arnold Layne, it's not the same, takes two to know.

E            G            A
Two to know, two to know, two to know.

                 D D G G E E A
Why can't you see?

G# A              G# A            G# A
     Arnold Layne     Arnold Layne    Arnold Layne

A      G           E       A
Arnold Layne don't do it again!
