(ok all that behind us. Here we go)
Em G x3
Em G Em G Em G Em G D A
I held the monkey's paw today and put my wishes into play
Em G Em G Em G Em G D A
to know the will of God or show a motive for delay
Em G Em G Em G Em G Em G Em G Em G D A
I'm holing on to find myself, just one more wish
Em G x2
Em G Em G Em G Em G D A
I found a pot of gold today or something shiny anyway
Em G Em G Em G D A
and caught in my reflection a conviction held at bay
Em G Em G Em G D A
I crafted a cross to adorn my neck and finally earned my due respect
Em G Em G Em G D A
and then a jewl encrusted crown to compliment my peistly gown
C D
just big enough to weigh me down
Em D C Em
and bring this temple to the ground
Em D G
inside out without a sound
Em Em G Em G
I found a pot of gold today
(Sorry, I can't tell you the solo)
Em G Em G Em G Em G Em G Em G
I held the monkey's paw, I held the monkey's paw, I held the monkey's paw,
Em G Em G Em G D A
I held the monkey's paw today and put my wishes into play
Em G Em G Em G Em G
Thanked heaven for the trophies but I still had hell to pay
Em G Em G
so I brought my spoil to the alter's edge
Em G D A
and heard you say obey instead
Em G Em G Em G D A
for all of my labors and best laid plans I'd only earned a repremand
C D G D Em
forevermore to understand that dreams come true can kill a man
Em D G
if not graced by sovereign hands
Em G
I held the monkey's paw
Em G (over and over)
