baron von tollbooth and the chrome nun, 1973

lyrics: grace slick 

music: grace slick, david freiberg, paul kantner

in e minor

lead guitar solo in e minor


Am                      Dm

Somebody aimed you when you were young

           G

But nobody ever fired

C                      G
Now you just sit there inside your gun bullet

               D

You’re getting old and tired


       D   A Bm G
If you wanna 

            D          A Bm G

Get out and get it all

          D          A Bm G

I mean, a fair trial

   D A         Bm G

Is no trial at all

           D     A Bm G

You’re not guilty

           D   A

Can’t even move 

          Bm        G

Without a human hand

          D              A    Bm G

You can’t cock yourself, woman


    D A Bm G
You need 

  Bm

A man

             C  D                   

You need him all 

                   A

The way across the board

Bm C D                   

All 

                   A

the way across the board


Am Em

 

Em

Man’s only got one finger

C

Doesn’t need anymore

        Em

Well he makes his way one prong down


Bm C D                   

All 

                   A

the way across the board


Em

Seven inches of pleasure

C

Seven inches going home and

Em

Somebody must have measured

Bm C D                   

All    the way down the old bone 

Bm C D                   

All 

                 A

the way down the old bone 


Em F G C
