They Know Me

D        G              A
He slips in through the back door
    D  Bm           G           A
And he helps himself to the patients' medicine
    D  G               A
And he likes to look important
    D         G                 A
And he always looks like he's impotent
         G
And each tale that he tells of the lives that he's saved
     D
Is a spade full of dirt as he's digging his grave
        G
And the deep blackened hallow he's patched with a badge
       A
Is the happiness he's never had

       D
And he says
          G           Bm           A
"It's all right, they know me here
D        G           Bm            A
It's all right, they know me, they know me"
D G Bm A

D                          A
His flames are yesterday's tinsel
    D   G                        A
And his belly's the sail that propels him
A
Onto the rocks
D       G                  Bm           A
And you know that even the noble Don Quixote would
D          G               Bm          A
Call him a mile away for a windmill
         G
And each Sunday that passes he's rid of his sins
         D
And he's ready to do them all over again
    G
And God won't be mad for the money he stole
       A
He put some in the offering bowl

       D
And he says
          G           Bm           A
"It's all right, they know me here
D        G           Bm            A
It's all right, they know me, they know me"
D G Bm A

G
Soon comes the moment that all souls await
        D
Just as sure as St. Peter will padlock the gate
    G
But deep in his wallet's a shiny new coin
       A
So, he turns and he winks and says

D         G           Bm           A
"It's all right, they know me here
D        G           Bm            A
It's all right, they know me, they know me
D        G           Bm           A
It's all right, they know me here
D        G           Bm            A
It's all right, they know me, they know me"
D G Bm A

D
Devils, for liars, put brands on the fires
    G
And everyone burns, with your glowing, red name on it
D                         A                G
Finally, you've come to a place where they know you well
