The tab
4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend
When I think of those east end lights,
Mug-gy nights the cur-tains drawn
in the lit-tle room down-stairs
Pri-ma don-na lord you real-ly
should have been there
Sit-ting like a prin-cess perched
in her e-lec-tric chair
And it's one more beer and
I don't hear you an-y-more
We've all gone cra-zy late-ly
My friends out there roll-ing round
the base-ment floor
CHORUS
And some-one saved my life
to-night sug-ar bear
You al-most had your hooks
in me did-n't you dear
You near-ly had me roped and tied
Al-tar-bound, hyp-no-tized
Sweet free-dom whis-pered in my ear
You're a but-ter-fly
And but-ter-flies are free to fly
Fly a-way, high a-way, bye bye
CHORUS
And I would have walked head on
in-to the deep end of a riv-er
Cling-ing to your stocks and bonds
Pay-ing your h. p. de-mands for ev-er
They're com-ing in the morn-ing
with a truck to take me home
Some-one saved my life to-night,
Some-one saved my life to-night
Some-one saved my life to-night
Some-one saved my life to-night
Some-one saved my life to-night
So save your strength and
run the field you play a-lone
