Watch That Man

Year: 1973 - Album: Aladdin Sane

	  		Intro G  C9  Em  A 
        G  C9  Em  A 

A 
Shakey threw a party that lasted all night 
D 
Everybody drank a lot of something nice 
              E 
There was an old fashioned band of married men 
                        F#m 
Looking up to me for encouragement - it was so-so 
A 
The ladies looked bad but the music was sad 
D 
No one took their eyes off Lorraine 
     E 
She shimmered and she strolled like a Chicago moll 
                               F#m 
Her feathers looked better and better - it was so-so 

D           A 
Yea! it was time to unfreeze 
         B                        D 
When the Reverend Alabaster danced on his knees 
D           A 
Slam! so it wasn't a game 
E 
Cracking all the mirrors in shame 

A     D    G               G    D    C9 
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man 
   D                              C                        
He talks like a jerk but he could eat you 
                G 
With a fork and spoon 
A     D    G                         C 
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man 
   D                         C                          
He walks like a jerk, but he's only taking 
            B 
Care of the room 
           C 
Must be in tune 

( G  C9  Em  A ) 
( G  C9  Em  A ) 

A 
A Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands 
   D 
So Shakey hung him up to dry 
    E 
The pundits were joking 

The manholes were smoking and every bottle battled 
         F#m 
With the reason why 
    A 
The girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone 
  D 
A throw back from someone's LP 
  E 
A lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag 
                                     F#m 
And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding 

D           A 
Yeah! I was shaking like a leaf 
      B                           D 
For I couldn't understand the conversation 
D        A                 E 
Yeah! I ran to the street, looking for information 

A     D    G                         C 
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man 
   D                              C                        
He talks like a jerk but he could eat you 
                G 
With a fork and spoon 
A     D    G                         C 
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man 
   D                         C                          
He walks like a jerk, but he's only 
                   B 
Taking care of the room 
           C 
Must be in tune
