Excuse me, darlin', to disturb you
Dm
Could you spare a bit of what the lord's left for you?
F
Bless your solemn, unending virtue
Dm
Lest your savior up desert you
[Verse 1]
F
Jesus couldn't quell the pains of America in trucks and trains and tractor trailers on the range,
A# F
barmen counting out their change and Goldwyn Mayer,
Dm
Fred Astaire slicking back his oily hair, snort benzedrine off of a mirror, slaps her ass,
F
"how are you dear?" and all the preachers whistle nervous, stare down devils in the back of churches,
A# Dm
meet their luscious daughters in the smalls beneath the boughs of birches
[Chorus]
A#m A#
And Judy Garland hit the bathroom floor of her cold apartment 'bove a Chelsea store
Dm G
and all the drag queens and all the whores couldn't get poor Judy back up off of her laurels,
F A# Dm A# Dm A# G A#
and Judy (Judy, Judy, Judy)
F A# F A# F Dm

[Verse 2]
A# F
Wanna put my foot down on Manhattan
A# F
Watch it float down like a boogie board

Watch the cool kids look out their window, bored
A#
As their mother drops the rolling pin, the radio says
[Chorus]
F A#
Judy garland hit the bathroom floor of her cold apartment 'bove a Chelsea store
Dm G
and all the drag queens and all the whores couldn't get poor Judy back up off of her laurels,
F A# Dm A# Dm A# G A#
and Judy (Judy, Judy, Judy)
