The Ballad Of Lea And Paul

C              G
Paul studied a lot
               Am
At least he pretended to
       F               C
He had too much on his mind
           G
It was too small
           Am           F     (riff)
To see the beauty of it all

C G Am F

C               G
Lea loved him a lot
                Am
At least she pretended to
       F             C
He was always on her mind
          G
She said, Paul,
          Am          F     (riff)
There's a fire in the hall

            Am                 C
And when it finally burned the questions
        G              F
For the answers he had found
   Am          C               Am         G     E
He realized it ought to be the other way around

          Am   F              C
There's a fire burning in the hall
E               Am                   F
It looks great, I don't care, let it burn
                      C
I don't care, I don't care
G       Am      C    (riff)
I don't care at all

         C                    G
They got married right on the spot
              Am
At least I presume they did
       F              C
I have too much on my mind
                G
To tell you the fall
           Am
Of Lea and Paul
           F
Out in the hall

        Am               C
For the moment this song has stopped
        G           F
They'll probably be dead
        Am             C
So it's better maybe wiser
   Am                G    E
To leave the rest unsaid


          Am   F              C
There's a fire burning in the hall
E               Am                   F
It looks great, I don't care, let it burn
                      C
I don't care, I don't care
G       Am      C    (riff)
I don't care at all

          Am   F              C
There's a fire burning in the hall
E               Am                   F
It looks great, I don't care, let it burn
                      C
I don't care, I don't care
G       Am      C - F - C
I don't care at a--ha--ha--ll
