Em              Bm 
She said to me:  go steady on me,
D                          A
Won't you tell me what the Wise Men said 
          Em
when they came down from Heaven,
Bm
Smoked nine `till seven,
D            A
All the shit that they could find,
Em
But they couldn't escape from you,
Bm
Couldn't be free of you,
D            A
And now they know there's no way out,
            Em                   Bm
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
          D                             A
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun,



CHORUS: 

Am         C                   G            D    
Look who's alone now, it's not me, it's not me,
Am               C                   G         D
Those three Wise Men they've got a semi by the sea,
Am         F                      G             D
Got to ask yourself the question, where are you now?
Am        F                      G             D
Got to ask yourself the question, where are you now?



Em                Bm 
Really sorry now, they weren't to know
         D                 A
They got caught up in your talent show,
          Em                                Bm
With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress,
         D                    A
Who just judge each other and try to impress,


         Em                        Bm 
But they couldn't escape from you, couldn't be free of you,
    D        A
And now they know there's no way out,


            Em                   Bm
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
               D                             A
They were just three Wise Men just trying to have some fun,

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 3
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord B
B is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open
3
Practise the change: B ↔ A
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.
Open
4
Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
