Altar Boy And The Thief by Joan Baez
Altar Boy And The Thief
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
Dm7 G7
At night in the safety of shadows and numbers
Dm7 G7
Seeking some turf on which nothing encumbers
Dm7 G7
The buying and selling of casual looks
Dm7 G7
Stuff that gets printed in x-rated books
Am G
Your mother might have tried to understand
Am G
When you were hardly your daddy's little man
Fmaj7 G
And you gave up saluting the chief
G7sus4 C Dm/C C
To find yourself some relief
Dm7 G7
Finely plucked eyebrows and skin of satin
Dm7 G7
Smiling seductive and endlessly Latin
Dm7 G7
Olympic body on dancing feet
Am G
Perfume thickening the air like heat
Am G
A transient star of gay bar fame
Am G
You quit your job and changed your name
Fmaj7 G
And you're nearly beyond belief
G7sus4 C Dm/C C
As you hunt down a little relief
Dm7 G7
The seven foot black with the emerald ring
Dm7 G7
Broke up a fight without saying a thing
Dm7 G7
As the cops cruised by wanting one more chance
Am G
To send Jimmy Baldwin back over to France
Am G
And a trucker with kids and a wife
Am G
Prefers to spend half of his life
Fmaj7 G
In early Bohemian motif
G7sus4 C Dm/C C
Playing pool and getting relief
Dm7 G7
My favorite couple was looking so fine
Dm7 G7
Dancing in rhythm and laughing in rhyme
Dm7 G7
In the light of the jukebox all yellow and blue
Am G
Holding each other as young lovers do
Am G
To me they will always remain
Am G
Unshamed, untamed, and unblamed
Fmaj7 G
The altar boy and the thief
G7sus4 C Dm/C C
Grabbing themselves some relief
Am G
The altar boy and the thief
G7sus4 C G7 C
Catching a little relief
