Mr. And Mrs. Lyrics
Artist: The Incredible String Band
Album: Changing Horses
Mr & Mrs.
(The Incredible String Band)
Esus2 Csus2 Dsus2 Esus2
He’s wearing the breaches that father bequeath’d him
Csus2 Esus2 Csus2 D C6 B7
Grandfather’s jacket still stained from the war
Esus2 Csus2 Dsus2 Esus2
Schoolmaster’s hat and mother’s familiar
Csus2 Esus2 Csus2 D C6 B7
And thousands of souvenirs kept from before
Bm7 D
Still wearing the bruises of coppers and robbers
C6 Gm
Ring of the bishop on loving his pomp
Bm7 D
Once-bitten apples of jealous dispassion
C6 Gm riff D
Twice-eaten hopes with the crust and the crumb
Esus2 Csus2 Dsus2 Esus2
She carries a gramophone and plays the same records
Csus2 Esus2 Csus2 D C6 B7
Fa-mi-ly choir claim truth equals pain
Esus2 Csus2 Dsus2 Esus2
Compulsively buying the devil’s selection
Csus2 Esus2 Csus2 D C6 B7
Of sure good for nothing again and again
Bm7 D
Children come follow in grandfather’s footsteps
C6 Gm
Laced on her fears and her man-o-war stare
Bm7 D
Mapping a course with the hard-learned lesson
C6 Gm riff
Magistrate’s customer and the pre-fect
Dm A G Dm A G
Mr. and Mrs. I know it’s sore with the daily pitchfork and the marshall law
Dm A G
Oh, chatting young lovers sweetness heart
Dm A G
Working together to make this world
Dm A G
Out of the pain the sweet gone sour
A G D A
I’m going to the beautiful country don’t you want to come
Bm A G
A Cheque for the break in my telephone line
Bm A G Em
And people are buzzing me most of the time
G Em G Em C
I’m dialing your line I wait for my reply
G F C
I’m here,
I’m here,
Now I’m on my way
Now I’m on my way
Oh, Mr. and Mrs.
Oh, Mr. and Mrs.
Well, I just can’t stay
So many haters in this town
So many haters
Everyone’s trying to put you down
Mr. and Mrs.
Oh, Mr. and Mrs.
You’re in this mess
I understand you’re in such a mess
Oh, Mr. and Mrs.
Palm the tears in your eyes
Talking about tears in your eyes
G D C G F C
You know, I won’t leave till you come through
Doo-we-oo-we-ooh
Doo-we-oo-we-ooh etc…
