Em       D               G           C
The Thin King killed the Jester very early on in
Em      D             G              C
His career but always kept good acquaintance with my
Em       D            G              C
Good old father which made me rather nervous
Em         D               G     C
To say the least, it made me very nervous indeed

Em      D       G       C

[Verse 2]
Em         D       G             C
He keeps a top hat tilted on the top of his head
Em      D              G               C
People say it's to contain his slightly elongated brain
Em          D             G         C
Cuz he's a very clever man if you know what I mean
Em        D        G
He's the Thin King tidy and clean

[Chorus]
C        G      D
Thin King keeps me kept
         C    G           D
The Thin King keeps me kept

[Verse 3]
Em          D             G       C
He likes to keep me where he can see me tied
Em      D               G           C
Tightly to the leash of self-awareness less
Em     D       G           C
I forget I'm always embarrassed less
Em      D          G         C
I forget and trust someone else
Em            D         G
Measure twice but cut once
            C
Measure twice cut once

Em      D       G

[Chorus]
   C      G          D
Thin King keeps me kept
            C      G          D
(oh) The Thin King keeps me kept

His career but always kept good acquaintance with my
Em       D            G              C
Good old father which made me rather nervous
Em         D               G          C
To say the least, it made me extremely wary
Em        D      G     C
It made me extremely wary

Em      D       G
Em      D       G       C
Em      D       G
