* THE DECEMBERISTS * Album: Her Majesty the Decemberists Song: Billy Liar Standard Tuning: EADGBe VERSE I G Em Billy Liar's got his hands in his pockets A Em Staring over at his neighbor's, knickers down. A Em A D He's got his knickers down. G Em So the summer is eternity for you? A Em Sleeping in until your father's shaking you down A Em A He's shaking you down. G And the mailroom shift gets a real short shrift F#m Em As you dole out the packages, no-one seems to want you around A Em A All skullking around. CHORUS D Bm D Bm Let your legs loll on the lino D F#m Em G A 'Til your sinews spoil D Bm D Bm Will you stay here for awhile, dear, D F#m Em G 'Til the radio plays something familiar? A Plays something familiar.

As he drifts to sleep with a moan and a weep He is decked by a Japanese geisha with a garland of pearls How she twists and twirls! CHORUS (Same Chords and Words) *ADD D F#m Em G 'Til the radio plays something familiar A Plays something familiar Em Plays something familiar A Plays something familiar OUTRO Em A e--3--3--2--2--0--0----0-----------------------------| B--------------------3---3--2--2--3--3--4--4--5--5---| G----------------------------------------------------| D----------------------------------------------------| A----------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------| Em Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah-da-dah A Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah REPEAT UNTIL FADE
