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

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

Judy Garland, you're a beauty, darlin'

C D#
Oh, Judy
