Am | C | Am
Oh, did you see him standing in the street
| C | Am
Hmmm, he looked so big, you're so big, but I've seen him before
| C | Am | C | Am
He's running round with all the boys, oh thats him, hmmm, big thighs
| C | Am | C | Am
Creepy, creepy in the dark, shiny, shiny Joan of Arc,
| C | Am | C |Am|C|Am|C|Am
When the moonlight starts its glow, cold hard Helen, Queen of Troy
| C | Am | C | Am
She got charisma, got thunderstorms, like a baby, never been born
| C | Am | C | Am
She got mammon, mammon in disguise, in the cold rooms of her eyes
D C D7 Am D C D7 Am
Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy
| C | Am | C | Am
Oh look at him, inn't he gorgeous, such big thighs, all oiled and mine
| C | Am | C | Am
Listen, it's got to go, I want him in my arms to stay
| C | Am | C | Am
Big fat mama done me wrong, left me hanging all alone
| C | Am
But that bitch is as old, is as old, is as old
| C | Am
's that dirty old crone right out there in the cold
D C D7 Am D C D7 Am
Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy
| C | Am | C | Am | C | Am | C | Am
| C | Am | C | Am
Mercy, mercy, mercy me, I'm so scared, please comfort me
| C | Am | C | Am
I don't wanna be, your banshee boy, baying like the hounds of Troy
D C D7 Am D C D7 Am
Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy
| C | Am | C | Am
Standing there from under the lights, your eyes shining bright
| C | Am | C | Am
I want you all of the time, fill me with awe, all of the time
| C | Am | C | Am
Lubricate me, don't hate me
Note: The trick to this song is to strike the F# note on the bass E string
when transitioning between Em & G chords. The point at which this
occurs is indicated with a '|' . Not sure of all the lyrics!
