John The Baptist by John Martyn
John The Baptist
Capo:no capo
Standard Tuning
Intro: A, E, E7sus4, E
A
I'm John the Baptist
E
And this is my friend Salome.
E7sus4
And you can bet it's my head she wants,
E
And not my heart only.
A
If you see me smiling,
E
And you wonder why,
E7sus4
You can bet it's a private joke
E
Between her and I.
E7sus4 E
And it's alright,
(Everything is alright.)
E7sus4 E
Allright.
(Everything is alright.)
And so on...
I'm John the Baptist and this
Is my friend Salome
And you can bet it's my head she
Wants and not my heart only
If you see me smiling and you wonder why
You can bet it's a private
Joke between her and I
And it's alright everything's alright
Alright everything's alright
She dances for me in the midnight moon
And when I play for her
She never sings too soon
When my head's cut off and
I'm lying on the plate
I'm going to grin and tell myself
It's been a lovely wait
With the revelations granted and my
Face just lightly haunted
See myself on the nursery wall
On a poster reading 'Wanted'
And there's a big reward for bringing me in
And I know in my very
Heart I committed no sin
