Onion Soup

	  		Intro: 
F C Bb Am 
F C Bb 
F C Bb Am 
F C Bb 
F C Bb Am 
F C Bb 


Verse: 
F   C         Bb Am 
  Thin and unshaved,  
F   C           Bb 
  Drunk and mysterious 
F C            Bb Am 
    Oh, I must sa-ay  
 F    C       Bb 
Lifestyle is curious 


BREAK: 
 Am                         Dm 
With a little touch of the sniffles 
 Bb          F 
And filthy socks 
 Am               Dm 
Gnawed, crumbled fingernails 
Bb                       C 
  Never doing tomahawk chops 


Verse: 
F C        Bb Am    
   A flaky he-ad    
F  C           Bb 
  Dandruff is distinguished 
F C           Bb Am   
   Lacquer is re-d   
 F C          Bb 
Va-in is the varnish 


BREAK: 
Am                Dm 
  What is at the root of this 
 Bb                  F 
She'll say, whatcha got 
 Am                Dm 
What participle do you possess 
 Bb                       C  Bb  C 
She'll say, which I have not 


Verse: 
F C             Bb Am 
   One blustery da-ay  
F        C 
We rode out 
        Bb 
To the Meadowlands 
F    C            Bb Am 
 We saw and were ama-zed 
      F         C         Bb 
Then hauled it back into town again 


BREAK: 
Am                   Dm 
   Mississippi is a mess sometimes 
Bb                    F 
And not only when it rains 
     Am                        Dm 
How come you went back to that malaria island 
       Bb                   C     Bb  C 
'Cause our friendship is strained 


Instrumental: 
F C Bb Am 
F C Bb 
F C Bb Am 
F C Bb 


Verse: 
F C                Bb        
   Those were the days 
      F       C     Bb 
When you were so cosmopolitan 
F C               Bb Am 
    These are the da-ys 
    F        C         Bb 
My letters they're so maudlin 


BREAK: 
Am                       Dm 
I wrote you an eloquent postcard once 
            Bb                   F 
About this most exquisite onion soup 
Am                     Dm 
But of course I never mailed it though 
               Bb                C    Bb  C   F 
'Cause it was your turn in the loop, loop oh ah 


Verse: 
  C             Bb        
Those were the days 
      F       C     Bb 
When you were so cosmopolitan 
F C               Bb Am 
    These are the da-ys 
    F        C                   Bb     Bb 
My letters they're increasingly maudlin
