[Intro]
Bb Dm Gm Dm


[Verse 1]
Bb
 This old goat with beard of grey
Dm
 He turns his leather gripped cane
Gm                                        Dm
 Those times you clapped and called for, "Quiet."
Dm
 They’ve come to hold you, ain’t that nice?
Bb
 He packs a fat oom paul to
Dm
 Jib and make home-baked perfume
Gm
 Sips froth from soft, warm joe
Dm                          Bb Daug
 Snug eiderdown bedclothes
     Gm   Dm                       
 You know, you know the way that I

Bb  Dm  Gm  Dm

[Chorus]
Bb
 Come on you hermit, you never fight back
Dm
 Why don’t you play with bows and arrows?
Gm
 Why don’t you dance like you’re sick in your mind?
Dm
 Why don’t you set your wings on fire?

Bb Dm Gm Dm

[Verse 2]
Bb
 You slick back that wiry mane
   Dm
 A neat tucked slice
 Gm
 Deep trees sleep on the dank lawn
     Dm
 And scratch the slate
Bb
 You finger down that waxen line
Dm
 Between your breasts
   Gm
 A squeaky pain upon each breath
     Dm            
 The plumbers left

Bb Daug Gm Dm

Dm                       Bb    
 You know the way that I feel

Dm  Gm  Dm

[Chorus]
Bb
 Come on you hermit, you never fight back
Dm
 Why don’t you play with bows and arrows?
Gm
 Why don’t you dance like you’re sick in your mind?
Dm
 Why don’t you set your wings on fire?


[Outro]
Bb
 Come on you hermit, Why don’t you play nice?
Dm
 Why don’t you toy with sex and violence?
Gm
 Why don’t you stare back into my huge eye?
Dm
 Why don’t you set my wings on fire?
