MONTY GOT A RAW DEAL

Gm               Bb                 Gm              Bb
Monty this seems strange to me, the movies had that movie thing
Gm                 Bb                Dm      C          G
But nonsense has a welcome ring and heroes don't come easy
 
Gm                 Bb          Gm               Bb
Now nonsense isn't new to me, I know my head, I know my feet
Gm                      Bb                Dm   C   G   Dm    C   G
But mischief knocked me in the knees so just let go, just let go
 
Gm              Bb             Gm               Bb
I saw the ocean meet the man, I saw you buried in the sand
Gm                    Bb                Dm    C    G
A friend was there to hold my hand, so walk on by
 
Gm                Bb                   Gm                  Bb
So I went walking through the stream, I saw you strung up in a tree
Gm                   Bb                Dm    C    G       Dm    C    G
A woman knelt there, said to me, said hold your tongue, hold your tongue
 
Bb         Dm      C   G     Bb         Dm          C   G
You don't owe me anything, you don't want their sympathy (waste your breath)
Bb         Dm          C                          Dm       C      G
Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath) for the silver screen
 
Gm                    Bb             Gm                     Bb
That nonsense doesn't mean a thing, they tried to bust you in a sting
Gm               Bb             Dm     C     G
But virtue isn't everything so don't waste time
 
Gm                      Bb              Gm               Bb
Now here's a rhyme that you can steal, put this on your reel to reel
Gm                 Bb            Dm       C      G    Dm     C      G
Mischief through a rotten deal, Monty's laying low, he is laying low
Dm    C   G   Dm    C   G
Just let go, just let go
 
Bb         Dm      C   G     Bb         Dm          C   G
You don't owe me anything, you don't want their sympathy (waste your breath)
Bb         Dm          C                          Bb           Dm     C       G
Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath) Monty, this seems strange to me

Set the “transposition” to -3 and then CAPO at fourth fret. Sounds super close to the original. The chords will show correct on the tab.
