A Thousand Lashes
F#m7 C#m7
I’d commit a number of any crimes
F#m7 C#m7
If I could get a thousand lashes from your eyes
Bm7 F#m7 C#m7
It’s a puerile compliment
Bm7 F#m7 C#m7
I’m a senile delinquent
Bm7 C#m7 F#m7 D
Whose day in court never comes
D E A
Whose way to court girls is all thumbs
D E A
Whose day in court never comes
D E A Bm7
Whose way to court is all thumbs
Who is city and who is horses?
Who writes the words and who sings the choruses?
I’m fishing for a complaintent
I’m in prison on arraignment
For a crime I didn’t commit
This time I’m innocent
I swear that I’m not fit
To take the stand and admit
This time I’m innocent
