[Intro]

Em    Am   B7   Em

[Verse 1]

Well ya play that tarantella
             Am
All the hounds will start to roll
         B7
The boys all go ta hell
                        Em
And then the Cubans hit the floor

And they drive along the pipeline
          Am
They tango 'till they're sore
          B7
They take apart their nightmares
                 Em
And they leave 'em by the door

[Chorus]

            Am
Let me fall out of the window
           B7
With confetti in my hair
Em
Deal out Jacks or better
          Am
On a blanket by the stairs
      B7
I’ll tell you all my secrets
         Em
But I lie about my past
      Am                    B7                 Em
So send me off to bed for ever more

[Verse 2]

Make sure they play my theme song
               Am
I guess daisies will have to do
        B7
Just get me to New Orleans
                   Em
And paint shadows on the pews

Turn the spit on that pig
                      Am
And kick the drum and let me down
               B7
Put my clarinet beneath my bed
      Em
Till I get back in town

[Chorus]

            Am
Let me fall out of the window
           B7
With confetti in my hair
Em
Deal out Jacks or better
           Am
On a blanket by the stairs
      B7
I’ll tell you all my secrets
         Em
But I lie about my past
       Am                  B7                  Em
So send me off to bed for ever more

[Verse 3]

Just make sure she's all in calico
           Am
In the color of a doll
                 B7
Wave the flag on Cadillac day
            Em
And a skillet on the wall

Cut me a switch
                        Am
Or hold your breath till the sun goes down
                 B7
Write my name on the hood
                 Em
Send me off to another town

[Chorus]

             Am
Let me fall out of the window
           B7
With confetti in my hair
Em
Deal out Jacks or better
          Am
On a blanket by the stairs
      B7
I’ll tell you all my secrets
         Em
But I lie about my past
      Am                   B7                  Em
So send me off to bed for ever more

            Am
Let me fall out of the window
          B7
With confetti in my hair
Em
Deal out Jacks or better
          Am
On a blanket by the stairs
      B7
I’ll tell you all my secrets
         Em
But I lie about my past
      Am                    B7                 Em
So send me off to bed for ever more
