Artist : Phil ochs Song : Doesn’t lenny live here anymore Pre>intro: g/c/g/c/g
C g c g c g /c/g/c
You laugh at the people who walk outside on the
sidewalk
G c g
And you talk to yourself so much
C g /c/g
When you see other people you can’t talk
Am
This time it’s true
D7 g g /c/g7
The charade is through
Bm c /d7
And you can’t seem to run away from you
Away from you
Am d7
And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
G c g
Stands rejectedly by the door
C g em am
Doesn’t lenny live here anymore?
D7
Are you sure?
You sit at the desk
To lose your life in a letter
But the words don’t seem to come and you know
that they’re(? ) better
And it’s all so strange
Pictures lose their frame
And I’ll bet you never guessed
There was so much pain
So much pain
Until the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
Stands rejectedly by the door
Doesn’t lenny live here anymore?
Are you sure?
The moon, she shines too soon and simply sadly
You loved your love so much that you’d strangle
her madly
And it’s all so slow
Time has ceased to flow
And the whistling whore knows something you don’t
know
And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
Stands rejectedly by the door
Doesn’t lenny live here anymore?
Are you sure?
You swore you’d store your love for one time
only
Now you searched the books in vain for better
word for lonely
And you’re torn apart
No other love will start
And you, you’d like to steal a happy heart
A happy heart
Then the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
Stands rejectedly by the door
Doesn’t lenny live here anymore?
Are you sure?
The fat official smiles at the pass on the
border
And the hungry broom makes sure that the room is
in order
You pull the shade
All the beds are made
As your lips caress the razor of the blade
Of the blade
And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
Stands rejectedly by the door
Doesn’t lenny live here anymore?
Are you sure?
The soul of the sun shines just outsde of the
winter
The shoulders charged, the boards of the
barricade is splintered
Now at last alone
The flashlight is shown
Hello inside is there anybody home?
Anybody home?
It’s the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
Standing rejectedly by the door
Doesn’t lenny live here anymore?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Are you sure? /pre>
