The Harder They Fall Lyrics by Phil Ochs

The Harder They Fall Lyrics

    pre>f
    London bridge is falling down,
    E am
    And the people want their crown.
    D g
    They are not fooling a-round.
    C g c /c7/f
    Gimme my crown, gimme my crown, gimme my crown.
    F
    So i'll say these words to you,
    Dm c
    Though you won't believe a word i say...
    G
    Gonna say the words anyway.

    Bb am
    Poems are pretty; tales are tall.
    Bb
    Only the witches recall:
    A g
    The bigger they are, the harder they fall.


    Jack and jill went up the hill
    They were looking for a thrill
    But she forgot to take her pill
    Gimme my pill, gimme my pill, gimme my pill
    Through our fantasies we fly
    In the prison of our dreams we die
    Dieting in an apple pie

    *chorus*

    Mary had a little lamb
    Couldn't make it with a man
    She buried babies in the sand
    Gimme my sand, gimme my sand, gimme my sand
    So the visions came to stay
    She was beheaded on a holiday
    That's the price you have to pay

    *chorus*

    Mother goose is on the loose
    Stealing lines from lenny bruce
    Drinking booze and killing jews
    Gimme my jews, gimme my booze, gimme my jews
    Six million jingles can't be wrong
    From the dragon to the viet cong
    Fairy tales have come along

    *chorus*
