Intro: G A Bm Bm*x2
(for Bm* just lift your middle finger off the 2nd string)
G A Bm Bm*
I know a boy who cuts his own hair
G A Bm Bm*
Iron his pants and pulls out the chair
G A Bm Bm*
For me he will always have time of day
G A Bm Bm*
He insists he has no middle name
G A Bm
All the time, so we gave him one ourself
G A Bm
So he would never be mistaken for anyone else
G A Bm Bm*
Was it whiskey was it water wine or gin
G A Bm
So I remember the night
G A Bm Bm* G A Bm Bm*
We Baptised the gentleman
Chorus:
G A Bm Bm*
The one who opens the door, opens the door for me (x4)
-rest of song goes the same
Always self coscious about what he wears
Heeds his father to show that he cares
Table manners but he's always flatting
He rather keeps quiet than say that he's hurting
We used to rip him off we even wrote a song
It doesn't seem right anymore now that he is gone
The words were too crass and the chords were too strong
I wore my lipstick and perfume, to write the gentleman's song
Chorus x1
his love is like a flower, love is the train
love is the desire we try to stick in each refrain
love goes next to peace but love is stuck in pain
you better take a lil time, go drink a lil wine
he's a friend of mine we had our good and bad times
yes he knows the sun will shine on him with his outers kind
the girl is looking out even if your love is blind
they get nervous when they meet him they can see it in his eyes
Chorus x3
