T Rex - Dandy In The Underworld

a bolanic revision of orpheus descending , sounds better on acoustic guitar

C Am
prince of players , pawn of none
F G
born with steel reins on the heart of the sun
C Am
gypsy explorer of the new jersey heights
F G
exalted companion of cocaine nights * *

C Am
’cos he’s a dandy in the underworld
C Am
dandy in the underworld
F G
when will he come up for air ,
Am C D
will anybody ever care *

same chords for the rest of the song and chorus .

at an old eighteen exiled he was
to the deserted kingdoms of a mythical oz
distraction he wanted , to destruction he fell
now he forever stalks the ancient
mansions of hell

* repeat

now his lovers have left him
and his youth’s ill spent
he cries in the dungeons and tries to repent
but change is a monster and changing is hard
but he’ll freeze away his summers in his
underground yard

* repeat
* * repeat
repeat twice
