[Intro]
G
 
[Verse 1]
G                              Am
Elsewhere in the Temple the llamas are gearing up
G                              Am
To assault Tiger Mountain when the sun comes up

G                              Am
We sat around whispering in the candlelight
G                              Am
Missing to get a game plan for the night
G                              Am
Learning about the difference between North and South
G                              Am
Keep your gun in your pocket and your tongue in your mouth, and you'll be
 
[Chorus]

Doing it, doing the things
G          Am
Doing it, doing the things

The thing you do in Denver when you're dead
 
[Verse 2]
G                              Am
A month is a Saturday – Wednesday's a week
G                              Am
I saw the way you looked at her Charlie Brown – good grief
G                              Am
She pulled you into the shadows and taught you how to love
G                              Am
Patted you on the head and gave you a shove, you were
 
[Chorus]

Doing it, doing the things
G          Am
Doing it, doing the things

[Verse 3]
G                              Am
The sexual exuberance of a concubine
G                              Am
Checks my carburettor one more time
G                              Am
With the passion of a thoroughbred and the sensitivity of a moose
G                              Am
I rarely make a move unless I've got some proof that I'll be
 
[Chorus]
G          Am
Doing it, doing the things
G          Am
Doing it, doing the things
G          Am
Doing it, doing the things

The thing you do in Denver when you're dead
 
[Bridge]
D
You live in Paris I live in France
Am
Things are expensive when you live first class
D
I learn Latin you learn Greek
Am                               C             D
And when you've got a minute we'll meet in Crete, and we'll be
 
[Chorus]
G          Am
Doing it, doing the things
G          Am
Doing it, doing the things
G          Am

C             D                 G
Doing it in Denver when you're dead
C             D                 G
Doing it in Denver when you're dead
