        (drum beat, 2 bars)

Verse 1:

              G                  Bm/F#
        She wandered through the garden fence
        G7/F                   C
        Said I've brought at great expense
          (C)           F
        A potion guaranteed to bring
          G
        Relief from all your suffering

        [2: And] though I said you don't exist
        She grasped me firmly by the wrist
        Threw me down upon my back
        Strapped me to her torture rack

             G7                  C
        And without further argument
           Am             D7sus4  D7
        I found my mind was also bent
                G7           C
        Upon a course so devious
            Am         D7sus4    D7
        It only made my torment worse

Verse 2:

        She said I see you cannot speak
        Is it your voice that is too weak
        Is it your tongue that is to blame
        Maybe you cannot speak for shame
        Or has your brain been idle too
        Now it will not think for you
        I hastened to make my reply
        Found that I could only lie

        [3: And] Like a fool I believed myself
        And thought I was somebody else
        She could see what I was then
        And left me on my own again
