Monty this seems strange to me, the movies had that movie thing
Gm                          Bb                           Dm     C                G
But nonsense has a welcome ring and heros don't come easy

Gm                          Bb                  Gm                      Bb
Now nonsense isn't new to me, I know my head I know my feet

But mischief knocked me in the knees so just let go, just let go

Gm                    Bb                       Gm                   Bb
I saw the ocean meet the man, I saw you buried in the sand
Gm                            Bb                           Dm   C     G
A friend was there to hold my hand, so walk on by

So I went walking through the stream, I saw you strung up in a tree
Gm                         Bb                        Dm   C       G          Dm   C       G
A woman out there said to me, said hold your tongue, hold your tongue

Bb              Dm        C    G        Bb           Dm          C         G
You don't owe me anything, you don't want this sympathy [waste your breath]
Bb            Dm               C                                       Dm       C        G
Don't you waste your breath [waste your breath] for the silver screen

Gm                               Bb                    Gm                             Bb
That nonsense doesn't mean a thing, they tried to bust you in a sting
Gm                    Bb                   Dm    C        G
But virtue isn't everything so don't waste time

Gm                                 Bb                       Gm                     Bb
Now Here's a rhyme that you must hear, put this on your reel to reel
Gm                         Bb                  Dm       C        G        Dm    C      G
Mischief through a rotten deal, Monty's laying low, he is laying low
Dm   C    G    Dm  C    G
Just let go, just let go

Bb             Dm         C     G      Bb            Dm              C        G
You don't owe me anything, you don't want this sympathy [waste your breath]

Don't you waste your breath [waste your breath] Monty this seems strange to me
