Midas

[Intro]
Am Em F C Am Em F Am
Em F C Am Em
F Am

[Verse 1]
Am            Em                 F
  The voice inside the suit came crawling down
   C
the telephone
Am            Em                       F       Am
  Somewhere between a chessboard and a nursery rhyme
            Em              F              C
I heard the rattlesnake shaking in his invitation
       Am          Em                   F
And the  whites of his knuckles on the other end of
   Am
the  line

[Chorus]
Am      Em F    C
  Midas,    yeah
Am      Em      F        Am
  Midas,  la la la la la la
      Em F    C
Midas,    yeah
Am  Em F Am
  Midas

[Verse 2]
Am               Em                      F             C
  Stepped inside his office and the whole place seemed to
shiver, he said
Am                   Em
"Come here, a little closer, boy, come on,
F         Am
 don't be shy"
                  Em                   F         C
I searched to find  the fracture in his tombstone facelift
       Am                Em              F
And he fixed me with the coldness of the kingdom in his
    Am
eyes

[Chorus]
Am      Em F    C
  Midas,    yeah
Am      Em      F        Am
  Midas,  la la la la la la
      Em F    C
Midas,    yeah
Am  Em F Am
  Midas
Ah!

[Bridge]
Am Em F C Am Em F Am
Em F C Am Em F Am

[Verse 3]
Am                  Em
  He said, "Come on,  kid
    F              C
You think we got a deal, yeah?"
Am                   Em                   F            Am
  Threw his head back  like a pelican and straightened his
tie
          Em
Each time they're askin',
       F            C
you're making me kinda nervous
          Am             Em
And with a  click of his silvered fingers,
  F           Am
I was falling through the sky

[Chorus]
Am      Em F    C
  Midas,    yeah
Am      Em      F        Am
  Midas,  la la la la la la la
      Em F    C
Midas,    yeah
Am  Em F Am
  Midas
Midas

[Outro]
