[Intro]

[Verse]
FMaj7 Am         FMaj7     Am
Three days and a bed for recovery
FMaj7         Am
FMaj7         Am
FMaj7 Am         FMaj7       Am
Two   years in a cell for a robbery
FMaj7         Am
FMaj7         Am

[Chorus]
FMaj7  Am           FMaj7        Am
Twenty-seven I have seen a funny dancing little
FMaj7        Am           Cm              D
dream rising shiver on my skin and flying up above my pillow

G             Dm             G             C

FMaj7  Am             FMaj7        Am
Two    hours with the summer rising mercury
FMaj7         Am
FMaj7         Am
FMaj7   Am               FMaj7           Am
Fifteen minutes catching crickets from a rising tree
FMaj7         Am
FMaj7         Am

[Chorus]
FMaj7  Am           FMaj7     Am
Twenty-seven I have seen many summers on the
FMaj7        Am            Cm         D
screen, many fires burning clean boulevards from my window

G             Dm             G             C
G             Dm             G             C

[Verse]
FMaj7   Am               FMaj7       Am
All you servants at the door, listen to your king
FMaj7         Am
FMaj7         Am
FMaj7    Am          FMaj7        Am
Bow your head and be quiet as the emperor sings
FMaj7         Am
FMaj7         Am

[Chorus]
FMaj7  Am           FMaj7         Am
Twenty-seven I have seen both the devil and the
FMaj7          Am          Cm          D
Queen goin’ to heaven on a green brush stolen from my kitchen

G             Dm             G             C
G             Dm             G             C

FMaj7         Am (until the end..)
