[C#m]O.D. on Eas[(Eb)]ter a[E]fternoon
[Abm]My mam[F#]a told me "[E]Baby stay [B]clean
There's no[C#m] in-betwee[(Eb)]n"[E]
[Abm]And all you ladies an[F#]d you g[B]entlemen
[C#m]Between is all you've[(Eb)] ever[E] seen or been
[Abm]Fit po[F#]orly and arra[E]nge the sight
[B]Doll it up in v[C#m]irgin whit[(Eb)]e[E]
[Abm]You dis[F#]appoint [E]me, you [C#m]people raking in on the [Eb]world
[E]The de[F#]vil's [Fm]script s[E]ells you[B] the he[C#m]art of a [Abm]blackbird[G]
[E]Shine on me b[B]aby, 'cause it's [C#m]raining in my [E]heart

[Abm]Sun's rising on[F#] a ch[B]opping glare
[C#m]Rain dropping aci[(Eb)]d boug[E]ht up in the air
[Abm]A dist[F#]orted r[E]eality's [B]now a [C#m]necessity [E]... to be free
