Intro
Em C G B
[Verse]
Em C
I haven't met a locked door yet
G
that I couldn't beat
B
on a chain around my neck
B7
I keep my skeleton key
[Chorus]
Em
Don't waste your worry on me
C
I always find what I need
G
come and go as I please
B
I've got my skeleton key
Em
Don't waste your worry on me
C
I always find what I need
A
come and go as I please
C
I've got my skeleton key
[Verse]
Em C
By now it's just a simple trick
G
not much to see
B B7
you hear the tumblers catch and click
Em
then turn the key
C A
but I've found work and welcome everywhere I've been
C
cause everyone's got someplace they wanna be let in
[Chorus]
Em C G
Along the way the old men call me by my mother's name
B
she looked the same they say
Em C A
the children wave or hide behind their mothers' skirts, afraid
C
strangers here still seem strange
[Verse]
Em
they hear the accent
C
know I'm from nowhere near
G
but I speak the language
B B7
and I know the customs here
[Verse]
Em C
I come from over the horizon
A
pass through every dozen years
C
go home, tell of my arrival
B
the skeleton key's here
[Chorus]
Em C G B
I've got my, my skeleton, my skeleton key
Em C A
I've got my, got my, got my skeleton, my skeleton key
Em
Yeah
[Chorus]
Em C G B
don't you go waste all your worry on me
Em C A C Em
cause I'll make my way with my skeleton key
