And I've run out of pale ale, and I feel like I'm in jail,

I knew a woman who was crazy ...about a boy who was lazy,
Bb6 A7 A7b13 Dm7 G/D
But it didn't work out, 'cause they just couldn't make it rhyme!
Dm7 G/D
Mmmm---------! Hup!

Hey, Jude, you were alright,
Dm7 G/D
I could have grooved with you all night,
Dm7 G/D Dm7 D7sus4 D7
But you turned your back on the party game, yeah, | / / / / |
Gm7 Bbm F G
Mama, if I keep my head clean, will I really have a good dream,
Bb6 A7 A7b13 Dm7 G/D Dm7 G/D
Or will I wake up in con - fusion just the same? | / / / / |
