The Amorous Humphrey Plugg
(Engel)
Verse 1
Am E7/G# E
Hello Mr Big Shot, say you're looking smart
Gm F Em A
I've had a tiring day, I took the kids along to the park
D A G
You've become a stranger, every night with the boys
A G
Got a new suit, that old smiles come back
D C
And I kiss the children goodnight
D F E
And I slip away on the newly-waxed floor
Verse 2
Am E7/G# E
I've become a giant, I fill every street
Gm F Em A
I dwarf the rooftops, I hunchback the moon, stars dance at my feet
D A G
Leave it all behind me, screaming kids on my knee
A G
And the telly swallowing me
D C
And the neighbours shouting next door
D F E
And the subway trembling the rollerskate floor
Chorus 1
A D
I seek the buildings blazing with moonlight
E(#5) A
Enchanting Way
D
Their very eyes seem to suck you in with their laughter
E(#5) A
They seems to say:
F#m Em F#m E D
You're alright now so stop awhile behind a smile
A
Enchanting Way
Verse 3
Am Em7/G# E
Oh to die of kisses, ecstasies and charms
Gm F Em A
Pavements of poets will write that I died in nine angels' arms
D A G
And they all were smiling still seductive as sin
A G
In their eyes the man I had been no more
D C D
Hard luck stories to wear, nothing left
F E
To give why the hell should I care?
Chorus 2
A D
Anna's my smile and Mary's my shadow
E(#5) A
Enchanting Way
D
And with her cellophane sighs Doreen of the candles
E(#5) A
Begs me to stay
F#m Em F#m E Dsus4 D
You're alright now so stop awhile behind a smile
Asus4 A Aadd9 A
Enchanting Way
