Intro
D#m B F# A#
[Verse]
D#m B
I haven't met a locked door yet
F#
that I couldn't beat
A#
on a chain around my neck
A#7
I keep my skeleton key
[Chorus]
D#m
Don't waste your worry on me
B
I always find what I need
F#
come and go as I please
A#
I've got my skeleton key
D#m
Don't waste your worry on me
B
I always find what I need
G#
come and go as I please
B
I've got my skeleton key
[Verse]
D#m B
By now it's just a simple trick
F#
not much to see
A# A#7
you hear the tumblers catch and click
D#m
then turn the key
B G#
but I've found work and welcome everywhere I've been
B
cause everyone's got someplace they wanna be let in
[Chorus]
D#m B F#
Along the way the old men call me by my mother's name
A#
she looked the same they say
D#m B G#
the children wave or hide behind their mothers' skirts, afraid
B
strangers here still seem strange
[Verse]
D#m
they hear the accent
B
know I'm from nowhere near
F#
but I speak the language
A# A#7
and I know the customs here
[Verse]
D#m B
I come from over the horizon
G#
pass through every dozen years
B
go home, tell of my arrival
A#
the skeleton key's here
[Chorus]
D#m B F# A#
I've got my, my skeleton, my skeleton key
D#m B G#
I've got my, got my, got my skeleton, my skeleton key
D#m
Yeah
[Chorus]
D#m B F# A#
don't you go waste all your worry on me
D#m B G# B D#m
cause I'll make my way with my skeleton key
