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

[Verse 2]
F# C#
Wanna put my foot down on Manhattan
F# C#
Watch it float down like a boogie board
F# C#
See the water bulging through the avenue
A#m F#
Watch the cool kids look out their window, bored
F#
As their mother drops the rolling pin, the radio says
[Chorus]
C# F#
Judy garland hit the bathroom floor of her cold apartment 'bove a Chelsea store
A#m D#
and all the drag queens and all the whores couldn't get poor Judy back up off of her laurels,
C# F# A#m F# A#m F# D# F#
and Judy (Judy, Judy, Judy)
