Irony oh irony upon Me it is never lost.

Gather 'round now people, I'm here to tell a tale
A#m
About a man who walks among You, a man You each know well.
D#m
My name is Simon Keeper I had a wife and three grown kids,
A#m Cb D#m
A# job in the towers cooking the books for the shills that grease the skids.
D#m A#m
Irony oh irony, you are a bitter fruit to eat.
Cb C# D#m
Stripped of all your beauty Your flesh is none too sweet.
D#m
Now I ain't the most honest man that ever worked a skim.
A#m
I was caught with My hand in the cookie jar and brother that was it.
D#m
Fifty-four and a big black mark upon My résumé,
A#m Cb D#m
I found selling off what You don't own might earn You the time of day.
D#m
Next it was a letter from My darling one,
A#m
"what's Yours is mine, what's mine is mine", Sealed with a hug and kiss.
D#m
One by one My children closed their lives to Me.
A#m Cb D#m
Lesson learned on Daddy's knee, "give no quarter to the weak".
D#m A#m
Irony oh irony, You are the polar seed of truth,
Cb C# D#m
You grow upon the open plain the faithful you uproot.
D#m
Kicked around 'bout a year living hand to mouth,
A#m
Then one day tryin' to bum a light. I felt My will give out.
D#m
Sat right down on the corner, started prayin' a little too loud.
A#m Cb D#m
Left My troubles far behind When I saw them emptying their pockets out.
D#m A#m
Irony oh irony, You are a treacherous son of a bitch,
Cb C# D#m
Pretending not to care about the heights You'll never reach.
D#m
Now I won't start in preaching 'bout reaping what You sow,
A#m
This is the story of a half-hearted man, Half honest as they go.
D#m
But sit on down and rest a spell I've got another tale to tell.
A#m Cb D#m
About a lost young man in a far away land whose life is just too easy to sell.
D#m A#m
Jesus was a carpenter He died nailed to a wooden cross.
Cb C# D#m
Irony oh irony upon Me it is never lost.
D#m
Jesus was a carpenter He died nailed to a wooden cross.

Irony oh irony upon Me it's never lost.
