Follow me close, I’m going to Ballinalee

I'll lose my mind if you don't come with me
D# Ebdim7
I fuss with my hair, and I fight blood feuds

I contain multitudes
[Verse 2]
A# A#6
Got a tell-tale heart, like Mr. Poe

Got skeletons in the walls of people you know

I’ll drink to the truth and the things we said

Red Cadillac and a black moustache

Rings on my fingers that sparkle and flash

Half my soul, baby, belongs to you

I contain multitudes
[Bridge]
D7/F# Gm F#aug
I'm just like Anne Frank, like Indiana Jones

And them British bad boys, The Rolling Stones

I go right to the edge, I go right to the end

I go right where all things lost are made good again

I sing the songs of experience like William Blake

I have no apologies to make

Everything's flowing all at the same time

I live on the boulevard of crime

I drive fast cars, and I eat fast foods

Pink petal-pushers, red blue jeans

All the pretty maids, and all the old queens

I carry four pistols and two large knives

I'm a man of contradictions, I'm a man of many moods

I contain multitudes
[Bridge]
D7/F# Gm F#aug
You greedy old wolf, I'll show you my heart
A#/F Gm/E
But not all of it, only the hateful parts
D7/F# Gm F#aug
I’ll sell you down the river, I’ll put a price on your head
A#/F C7/E
What more can I tell you? I sleep with life and death in the same bed
[Verse 6]
A#/F A#6
Get lost, madam, get up off my knee
Gm F/A A#
Keep your mouth away from me
Cdim7 Dm D#
I'll keep the path open, the path in my mind
A#/F F
I’ll see to it that there's no love left behind
D# Ebdim7
I'll play Beethoven's sonatas, and Chopin’s preludes
A#/F D#/A# A#
I contain multitudes
