       A (barre)    A72

he's a miniature philosopher

   Dm     A7        Dm

he stands five foot three

    A7     C                A7

but no one takes him seriously

        Cm       

he's in love with Gertrude Lullaby

        Cm/B             G

but she doesn't care for him

            E7

he's like a house boy to Miss Lullaby

          Cm                D

and their future looks very dim

       A (barre)    A72

he's a miniature philosopher

         Dm       A7     Dm

he takes notes on all he reads

         A7      C           A7

but that doesn't satisfy his needs

       Cm              

he's a desk clerk at the bank and trust

                Cm/B                       G

there's so many contracts and paperwork to do

           E7          

he gets so busy at the bank and trust

            Cm                      D

there is no time for Nietzsche or Camus

       A (barre)    A72

he's a miniature philosopher

          Dm     A7    Dm

he writes essays on Voltaire

    A7    C                 A7       

but if he died no one would care

   G                                         C#

he doesn't know why his life turned out this way

       D#m            Adim          G#dim F#        B

no one ever reads his dissertations or    allegoric plays

      Dm          (guitar part) F#m       Em    Bm

so he comforts himself while    searching for a rhyme

         Bm                       G

that the public rarely recognizes genius in their time

C           D

poor little guy

       A (barre)    A72

he's a miniature philosopher

          Dm     A7    Dm

though he hasn't got a friend
 
                   A7     C      A7

he's sure he'll be famous in the end
