[Intro]
Gm(add9) 2x
F Eb D
Cifra at your own risk
Cm(add9)
[Verse]
Cm(add9)
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
Db
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
G7sus/ D G7
But you'll find that nowadays
G7sus/ D G7
I've mended all my ways
Ab Db G7
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
True? Yes
Cm(add9)
And I fortunately know a little magic
Db
It's a talent that I always have possessed
G7sus/ D G7
And here lately, please don't laugh
G7sus/ D G7
I use it on behalf
Ab Db G7sus
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed
(Pathetic!)
[Chorus]
Cm(add9) G7b9 Cm
Poor unfortunate souls
Dm7b5 G7 Cm
In pain, in need
Dm7b5 G7
This one longing to be thinner
Cm(add9) Cm/Eb
That one wants to get the girl
D7
And do I help them?
Dm7b5
Yes, indeed!
G7 Cm(add9) G7b9 Cm
Those poor unfortunate souls
Dm7b5 G7 Cm
So sad, so true
Dm7b5 G7
They come flocking to my cauldron
Cm
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
D7 G7
And I help them
Cm
Yes I do!
[Bridge]
Dm7b5
Now, it's happened once or twice
Fm6
Someone couldn't pay the price
G7sus G7 Cm
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Db
Yes, I've had the odd complaint
Ab Db
But on the whole I've been a saint
Cm/G G7 Cm(add9)
To those poor unfortunate souls
[URSULA]
Cm
You'll have your looks. . . your pretty face. . . and don't
Dm(add9)
underestimate the power of body language!
[Verse]
Dm(add9)
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
Dm(add9) Eb
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
Em7 A7 Em7 A7
Yet on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
Bb Eb A7sus
And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?
A7 Dm(add9)
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
Dm(add9) Eb
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
Em7 A7
But they dote and swoon and fawn
Em7 A7
On a lady who's withdrawn
Bb Eb A7sus
It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man
[Chorus]
G/A A7 Dm A7(b9) Dm
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Em7
Go ahead!
A7 Dm
Make your choice!
Em7 A7
I'm a very busy woman
Dm Dm/F
And I haven't got all day
E7
It won't cost much
A7
Just your voice!
Dm A7(b9) Dm
You poor unfortunate soul
Em7 A7 Dm
It's sad, but true
Em7 A7
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
Dm Dm/F
You've got the pay the toll
Em7 A7
Take a gulp and take a breath
Dm Dm/F
Go ahead and sign the scroll!
Em7 A7
Flotsam, Jetsam--now I've got her, boys
Dm F/C Dm/B
The boss is on a roll
Bb9 A7#5 Dm
You poor unfortunate soul!
