Em
I don’t want to leave my room
                   Em    Bm
I’m happy in my dust and gloom
Em       Bm       G
And I have been ever since
C         D
The Revelations began
G
haaaaaaaah
      C             D
Ever since the revelations began


Em                  Bm
When the revelation begun
Em Bm
???
Em                           Bm
Way back when up on the river ??
Em                       Bm
The first antichrist was Napoleon


Cm
That’s so typical of you
Cm                     Ebm Cm
So typical of me oh me oh me oh


G
Way up on the numbers
So high up on the numbers
Cm
Nobody can see
Cm             Ebm Cm
What you see in me oh me

G
Way up on the numbers
Upon the numbers
Cm
Two wrongs don’t make a right
Cm                    Ebm Cm
But for five minutes it felt alright.

G
Upon the numbers
Upon the numbers

Em              Bm
When the revelation begun
Em   Bm
???
Em                      Bm
Way back when up on the river ??
Em                       Bm
The first antichrist was Napoleon
Em                       Bm
And at last here’s the second one
Em  Bm
???
Em                    Bm
King Solomon was the wisest man
Em                    Bm
But still he got tricked by a woman

Cm
That’s so typical of you
Cm                 Ebm Cm
So typical of me oh me oh me oh me

G
Way up on the numbers
High up on the numbers
Cm
Nobody can see
Cm      Ebm Cm
Nobody believed

G
Way up on the numbers
High up on the numbers
Cm
And one and one is three
Cm                  Ebm Cm
If you throw me one for free or free me

G
Upon the numbers
Upon the numbers

Em (play of previous motifs. Improv and arpeggiation)
(spoken)
Walk the walk
Talk the talk
Billy Bilo
Can’t smoke his pipe in peace
Too much public
Too much police

Em
I don’t want to leave my room
                      Em       Bm
Quite happy in my dust and gloom
Em   Bm           G
And I have been ever since
  C        D
The revelations began
G
haaaaaah
  C                D
Ever since the revelations began
G
haaaaaah
  C                D
Ever since the revelations began.

Em and fade.
