| Miss Patsy |
| F | |
| My | dearest Miss Patsy, Im writing to say |
| Bb | |
| That Im | sorry to not be in touch |
| F | |
| Its been | quite a parade, but my thoughts never strayed |
| Bb | C | |
| Too | far, or too | long, or too much |
| C | F | C | F |
| Miss Patsy, | forgive all the | choices I | made |
| Gm | F | Bb | |
| Ive been | fighting | shadows on the | wrong crusade |
| C | F | C | F |
| Looking for | ghosts in a | penny | arcade |
| Bb | C | |
| Miss | Patsy, no more will I | roam |
| Gm | Eb | F | |
| Miss | Patsy, wont you | carry me | home |
| They held me to ransom back there in the foothills |
| And nobody stumped up a bean |
| Not Swifty, nor Eddie, came up with the ready |
| It can make you think people plain mean |
| Ive been hanging out with some virtuous people |
| They emptied my bank account twice |
| They gave me self-confidence, even some clothes |
| And a truckload of love and advice |
| When they gave out the cyanide pills with a wink |
| And said, Wait for the word, any day now, we think |
| I knew it was time to pull back from the brink |
| Miss Patsy, no more will I roam |
| Miss Patsy, wont you carry me home |
| Miss Patsy, I looked at myself in the mirror |
| Decided I needed some work |
| Got me a nose job, a shave and a haircut |
| To drive all them ladies berserk |
| But the arm round my waist was a man in dark blue |
| He said, Aint you him? Weve been looking for you |
| Now Im sharing a cell with a holy kung fu |
| Miss Patsy, no more will I roam |
| Miss Patsy, wont you carry me home |
