Intro
A#m F# C# F
[Verse]
A#m F#
I haven't met a locked door yet
C#
that I couldn't beat
F
on a chain around my neck
F7
I keep my skeleton key
[Chorus]
A#m
Don't waste your worry on me
F#
I always find what I need
C#
come and go as I please
F
I've got my skeleton key
A#m
Don't waste your worry on me
F#
I always find what I need
D#
come and go as I please
F#
I've got my skeleton key
[Verse]
A#m F#
By now it's just a simple trick
C#
not much to see
F F7
you hear the tumblers catch and click
A#m
then turn the key
F# D#
but I've found work and welcome everywhere I've been
F#
cause everyone's got someplace they wanna be let in
[Chorus]
A#m F# C#
Along the way the old men call me by my mother's name
F
she looked the same they say
A#m F# D#
the children wave or hide behind their mothers' skirts, afraid
F#
strangers here still seem strange
[Verse]
A#m
they hear the accent
F#
know I'm from nowhere near
C#
but I speak the language
F F7
and I know the customs here
[Verse]
A#m F#
I come from over the horizon
D#
pass through every dozen years
F#
go home, tell of my arrival
F
the skeleton key's here
[Chorus]
A#m F# C# F
I've got my, my skeleton, my skeleton key
A#m F# D#
I've got my, got my, got my skeleton, my skeleton key
A#m
Yeah
[Chorus]
A#m F# C# F
don't you go waste all your worry on me
A#m F# D# F# A#m
cause I'll make my way with my skeleton key
