Band - Ferdinand The Imposter Lyrics
A a/d a a/d a(intro)A bm e dFerdinand standing in the tower thinkin how to get the powerEmpress knows that it would cost herFor ferdinand the imposterCame to me to make a deal,Dressed like general butterfield.A bm d eCouldnt wait to thank him for the stuffed birds and rubber doorA g dDonated to him from the poorD aBut its just his gameD aAnd he carries no shameA g dStill, he done nobody wrongD aHe knew he didnt belongD aBut he went alongC#mD e e7Looking to see if theres somebody else hed like to beBenny the barber, luke and me,Passed out tickets cautiously,To see the burning of the soup,Down at lucys chicken coop.Then of course ferdinand,Started out doing charlie chan.That last atlas honkeys fall,He says hes gonna do them all.A voice just said hes not for real,But its just his game,And he carries no shame.Still he done nobody wrong,He knew he didnt belong,But he went along.Lookin to see if theres somebody,Else hed like to be.C#m bmOh its hard, oh, dont you knowC#m bmTo be somebody that you dont even knowA dBut hes friendly, yes hes kindB e e7I cant help wonderin why theyd want to change his mindGot a message in the mail,Ferdinand was thrown in jail.I left the snow with abigail,Went on down to fix his bail.They had him locked in a gunny sack,His hands were tied behind his back.He claimed he was a doukhobor (*)But they never heard of that in baltimore.The police said hed better go home,And he went back alone,Back to the snow.Still he done nobody wrong,He knew he didnt belong,But he went along.Lookin to see if theres somebody,Else hed like to be,Mainly free.
