How Sweet To Be An Idiot

• G

(Intro: G  *F2  **C  Cm  Dsus4  D) 

G    Bm        Em    Em7/G 
How sweet to be an idiot 
 
C       Em/B  Ebdim  
As harmless as a cloud 
 
Em                B 
Too small to hide the sun 
 
Am     Am7    Dsus4  D 
Almost poking fun  
 
G        Bm  Em 
At the warm but insecure  
 
Em7/G Am    Am7  Dsus4 D Asus4/D  D 
untidy  crowd  
 
 
G    Bm        Em   Em7/G 
How sweet to be an idiot 
 
C  Em/B         Eb dim 
And dip my brain in joy  
 
Em             B 
Children laughing at my back  
 
Am  Am7   Dsus4  D 
With no fear of attack  
 
G      Bm  Em    Em7/G  Am    
As much retaliation as a   toy  
 
               
Am7 Dsus4 D 
 
 
G    Bm        Em    D 
How sweet to be an idiot  
 
G     (*F2 **C  Cm Dsus4 D) 
How sweet 
 
D 
I tiptoe down the street 
 
                 
Smile at everyone I meet  
 
 
***G   G7/6      G7   G7/6      G7  G7/6     
 
G   G7/6      G7   G7/6      G7  G7/6     A 
 
 
A  
But suddenly a scream  
 
B 
smashes through my dream  
 
E 
Fee fi fo fum,  
 
 
I smell the blood of an asylum  
 
Am 
Blood of an asylum?  
 
Am/G 
But mother, I'm playing so 
 
Am/F# 
beautifully! 
 
                      Fmaj7 
Ha ha! Listen! Ha ha! 
 
E 
Fee fi fo fum,  
 
 
I smell the blood of an asylum 
 
    Am 
Hey you! 
 
Am/G 
You're such a pedant! 
 
    Am/F#  
You got as much brain as a  
 
Fmaj7 
dead ant! 
 
E 
As much imagination as a  
 
 
caravan site! 
 
            D 
But I still love you,  
 
      D7 
still love you,  
 
 
oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, how  
 
G       Bm  
swee-ee-eet  
 
         Em    D              
to be an idiot  
 
    G     *F2 
How sweet  
 
  **C                 Cm   Dsus4 
How sweeeeeeeeeeee - *t*  
                       
    D     Gsus4 G 
How-ow-ow sweeeet
