Well, hel - lo, Mr.Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason,

      G           Bm             Em         C

The lights turned on, and the curtain fell down,

     Am7                 D

And when it was over it felt like a dream,

      Am7                           D

They stood at the stage door, and begged for a scream,

      G        G/F#         Em             Em7

The agents had paid for the black limou - sine,

       C                    D

That waited outside in the rain!

Eighteen years of A - merican dream,

   Am7                        D

He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall,

   Am7                       D

He hung up his eyelids, and ran down the hall,

       G        G/F#       Em         Em7

His mother had told him a trip was a fall,

      C                      D

And don't mention babies at all!

The streets were lined for the wedding pa - rade,

     Am7                               D

The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song,

Her black covered caisson, her horses had drawn,
