lyrics

Macchu Picchu Big Shoe Circus Jan Hauenstein

(G) (F#) (C) (D7)
(G)Macchu Pichu (F#)big shoe circus,
(C)You ought to see where (D7)Mr. Quirk is,
(C7)Hiding underneath the (D7)big top with his greens and (Em7)blues. (C7) (D7)
(G)Big shoe, big top, (F#)small rat, top hat,
He (C)never ever knew where it´s (D7)really, really at,
On (C7)top of the big top (D7) with his green circus (Em7)shoes. (C7) (D7)

(G)Taj Mahal, Ma(F#)halia Jackson,
(C)Jackson´s son lost (D7)by a fraction,
Jackson´s (C7)father, he would rather be a (D7)mother than old Jack´s (Em7)son. (C7) (D7)
(G)Fatherland, mother (F#)land in the sand
With your (C)sister and your brother, but (D7)don´t you smother
The (C7)small rat with the top hat, (D7) although it might be (Em7)fun. (C7) (D7)

(C7)Isn´t that (B7)where it´s at for the (Em7)sinner and the (Am7)saint? (D7)
(C7)It is not? (B7)I forgot. I re(Em7)member now, it (Am7)ain´t. (D7)
(G) (F#) (C) (D7) (C) (D7)

(G)Eiffel Tower (F#)flower power,
(C)Funky junk, so (D7)long gone sour,
(C7)Flowerpot incense, (D7)no sense, wide pants, (Em7)burning Madras (C7)shirt. (D7)
(G)Flunkies, junkies, (F#)monkeys, Moonies
Have (C)all but forgotten (D7)where the moon is,
(C7)Too far away (D7)from today, smoking (Em7)roaches in the (C7)dirt. (D7)

(G)Tiananmen Square, (F#)so many men there,
(C)Blow no fanfare (D7)for the tanks there,
(C7)Big scary beast (D7)bared its fangs there (Em7)for the final (C7)kiss. (D7)
(G)IS is (F#)full of piss,
(C)Is this just a scare? (D7)Anyway, beware,
Happens (C)here and there and (D7)everywhere.
When you (C7)aim for the sky, (D7)draw right nigh, or (Em7)you´ll be sure to (C7)miss. (D7)

(C7)Isn´t that (B7)where it´s at for the (Em7)saint and for the (Am7)sinner? (D7)
(C7)It is not? (B7)I forgot. I re(Em7)member now, I´ve (Am7)been there.(D7)
(C7)Isn´t that (B7)where it´s at for the (Em7)sinner and the (Am7)saint? (D7)
(C7)It is not? (B7)I forgot. I re(Em7)member now, it (Am7)ain´t. (D7)
(G) (F#) (C) (D7) (C) (D7) (G) (F#) (C) (D7) (C) (D7)
(G) (F#) (C) (D7) (C) (D7) (C) (D7) (G)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
