By Declan Patric Aloysius MacManus
The lyrics were type by one anonymous who provided the lyrics for the album,
The "Intro E" sections for organ can be played on guitar, as transcribed in
TAB (using TAB MASTER). The little woodwind instrument solo is not [yet!]
transcribed, but the chords are available, with added beat measures: 7xE 1xB
mean that in two 4/4 bars, play 7 beats of chord E, and then 1 beat of B.

[E]He selects the [B]plainest face form a [A]spiteful row of [B]girls
[E]Elegant in[B]sulted women, [A]a flaw of cultured [Ab7]pearls
[C#m] [Abm] [Ab] [C#m]
[C#m] He drops a [Abm]name or two,[Ab] she fails to [C#m]catch
At [A]last he's met his [E]match
Unspoiled and unaf[B]fected, he wants her so [E]much
[intro E]
[E]She puts up half-[B]hearted resistance,[A] like she was taught to [B]do
[E]She's heard some of those [B]small town playboys [A]but this is something [Ab7]new
[C#m] His promise seems [Abm]dangerous, [Ab]she'd like to [C#m]believe
He [A]says "You'd better [E]leave"
"You've only got your[B]self to blame, shame, or [E]deceive"
[E7]The waiting lines are [A]long
[Am]They never get too [E]far
Everyone wearing that medal with [B]pride

[intro E]
[E]I looked on but [B]hesitated
[A] I failed to inter[B]rupt
[E]You're so hard to [B]tell the truth too
[A] So easy to co[Ab7]rrupt
[C#m] I'll memo[Abm]rize your face
[Ab] Your tragic [C#m]smile
The [A]hurt look in your [E]eyes
As you betrayed your[B]self to the part of him that [E]dies
[E7]The waiting lines are [A]long
They [Am]never get too [E]far
They're [E7]shining up their [A]shoes to [Am]kick a falling [E]star
You [E7]think you should be [A]somebody
But you [Am]don't know who you [E]are
Everyone wearing that medal with [B]pride
