TWISTY BASS
(Neil Finn)

NOTES: Good luck recreating the chorus on an acoustic. *grin*

INTRO:  Am    E7/B*    C    E7/B

VERSE:

                 Am      E7/B    C   E7/B
Hangman's in the noose

                 Am      E7/B    C   E7/B
the prisoner is loose

                    Am      E7/B
the wheel has come around

        C       E7/B          Am     E7/B   C    E7/B
and the velvet curtain's coming down


          Am    E7/B
I left it there

           C       E7/B 
a suitcase on the chair

          Am       E7/B
I feel my weight

              C        E7/B
and something tells me

                     Am       E7/B
there's a river underground

     C          E7/B                  Am     E7/B    D4*  Dm
in a place where there's no one to be found


CHORUS:
                   E             
And no one came to see 

                   C
the oldest show in town

                   E             
And no one came to see 

                   C
the oldest show in town

                   E             
And no one came to see 

                   C
the oldest show in town


Am    E7/B*    C    E7/B


VERSE:
Santa's on the cross
and innocence is lost
the music's in your mind
and the windscreen wipers move in time

CHORUS:
No one came to see 
the oldest show in town
no one came to see 
the oldest show in town

(continue chorus chords under rap)

and the stranger was a ghost
the killer was a priest
took the first excuse
made the madness seem cute lipped
on your own you'll find there's no escape
there are many ways to choose
and I don't know which one you should take

VERSE:
A home is all you want
on the back of a truck driving down the street
it doesn't seem so much
but it's all you need to make your life complete

CHORUS:
No one came to see 
the oldest show in town
no one came to see 
the oldest show in town

speak -- 
I lean the slightest bit toward you
white turns into brown, light goes to black
your eyes danced in my reflection
and the horse ate my trousers


RIDE OUT:  E    C
