Marthas Madman Chords

Martha's Madman - Manfred Mann's Earth Band
 
 
[Refrain]
G                            C
Martha has a madman standing hidden in the shadows
           G                                 C                  Em Em C D Em
He's got a long curved Turkish dagger with a bejewelled handle
 
 
[Verse]
Em                                                         C   D
He's tellin' her the world is full of freaks and geeks and simples
         Em                             C                   D    Em
And he's hiding like a leprechaun under stones and in the ripples
       Em                                                         C     D      Em
In the pool of time she thought she knew it - but someone threw a stone into it
      Em                                        C  D             Em
Which breaks up the surface and it's making her nervous and it's true
A            Em  Bm       Em
What can she do, yes it's true
A            Em  D
What can she do
G            G/F#                 Em            C       D        G     G Cm D F
Martha yes I guess you'll have to wait around - another thousand years
 
 
[Refrain]
G                G/F#           Em                  C   D
Martha's gettin' nervous as she wanders through his valley
          G              G/F#                Em                C  D   Em
Where the shadows always frightening and the whispers tell her stories
 
 
[Verse]
Em                                                         C   D

         Em                             C                   D    Em
And he's hiding like a leprechaun under stones and in the ripples
       Em                                                         C     D      Em
In the pool of time she thought she knew it - but someone threw a stone into it
      Em                                        C  D             Em
Which breaks up the surface and it's making her nervous and it's true
A            Em  Bm       Em
What can she do, yes it's true
A            Em  D
What can she do
G            G/F#                 Em            C       D        G     Em
