The Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest Cifras para ukulele

[Verse]
C               Em
Well Frankie Lee and Judas Priest
     Dm                        C
They were the best of friends
        C                  Em
So when Frankie Lee needed money one day
      Dm                                C
Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens
    C                    Em
And placed them on a footstool
     Dm                      C
Just above the plotted plain
        C                Dm
Sayin' Take your pick Frankie Boy
   Em                       C
My loss will be your gain
 
      C               Em
Well Frankie Lee he sat right down
            Dm                   C
And put his fingers to his chin
    C                        Em
But with the cold eyes of Judas on him
    Dm                  C
His head began to spin
       C                         Em
Could ya please not stare at me like that he said
      Dm                     C
It's just my foolish pride
    C                       Em
For sometimes a man must be alone
    Dm                         C
And this is no place to hide
 
     C              Em
Well Judas he just winked and said
         Dm                     C
All right I'll leave you here
C                             Em
But you'd better hurry up and choose
                         Dm
Which of those bills you want
                             C
Before they all disappear
 C                  Em
I'm gonna start my pickin' right now
     Dm                        C
Just tell me where you'll be
 
C                      Em
Judas pointed down the road
         Dm        C
And said eternity
 C               Em
Eternity said Frankie Lee
Dm                      C
With a voice as cold as ice
 C                          Em
That's right said Judas Eternity
           Dm                         C
Though you might call it 'Paradise '
 
 C                          Em
I don't call it anything
     Dm                         C
Said Frankie Lee with a smile
 C                Em
All right said Judas Priest
 Dm                           C
I'll see you after a while
 
 C                    Em
Well Frankie Lee he sat back down
Dm                    C
Feelin' low and mean
C                        Em
When just then a passing stranger
Dm                    C
Burst upon the scene
C                                 Em
Saying Are you Frankie Lee the gambler
      Dm                  C
Whose father's deceased
C
Well if you are
          Em
There's a fellow callin' you down the road
         Dm                       C
And they say his name is Priest
 
 C                 Em
Oh yes he is my friend
     Dm                       C
Said Frankie Lee in fright
 C               Em
I do recall him very well
   Dm                            C
In fact he just left my sight
 C                              Em
Yes that's the one said the stranger
   Dm                C
As quiet as a mouse
 C                         Em
Well my message is he's down the road
Dm                    C
Stranded in a house
 
C                  Em
Well Frankie Lee he panicked
           Dm                  C
He dropped ev'rything and ran
C                       Em
Until he came unto the spot
      Dm               C
Where Judas Priest did stand
C                      Em
What kind of house is this he said
 Dm                          C
Where I have come to roam
 C                       Em
It's not a house says Judas Priest
            Dm                    C
It's not a house it's a home
 
 C                    Em
Well Frankie Lee he trembled
   Dm                     C
He soon lost all control
 C                    Em
Over everything which he had made
Dm                          C
While the mission bells did toll
C                   Em
He just stood there staring
                     Dm            C
At that big house as bright as any sun
C                    Em
With four and twenty windows
      Dm                      C
And a woman's face in every one
 
C                       Em
Well up the stairs ran Frankie Lee
       Dm                      C
With a soulful bounding leap
C                   Em
And foaming at the mouth
            Dm                      C
He began to make his midnight creep
C                      Em
For sixteen nights and days he raved
    Dm                      C
But on the seventeenth he burst
C                Em
Into the arms of Judas Priest
         Dm                      C
Which is where he died of thirst
 
C               Em
No one tried to say a thing
          Dm                      C
When they carried him out in jest
C                      Em
Except of course the little neighbour boy
Dm                       C
Who carried him to rest
    C                    Em
And he just walked along alone
         Dm                       C
With his guilt all well concealed
C                 Em
And muttered underneath his breath
 Dm                    C
Nothing is revealed
 
C                      Em
Well the moral of the story
    Dm            C
The moral of this song
C                         Em
Is simply that one should never be
      Dm                   C
Where one does not belong
C                                       Em
So when you see your neighbour carryin' somethin'
Dm                C
Help him with his load
    C                  Em
And don't go mistaking Paradise
         Dm                   C
For that home across the road
