Parable Of The Shrew

Dm7 A scout arrived one day Gm7/D to see the city of the shrews Dm7 and told them they'd been invited Gm7 to join The King's new zoo Dm7 And when they heard they rejoiced at the news Bb7 A7 For soon The King would open up a special gate... D7 Eb/G D/A A7 for the chosen few. Dm7 "Who would be let through?" Gm7/D The shrews ask the elders of the town: Dm7 "Only those who have perfect ears Gm7 and the right amount of round. Dm7 These shrews will be testaments to our kind. Bb7 A7 And those who are unworthy of the zoo... D7 Eb/G D/A A7 Perhaps The King should leave behind." Solo 1 Dm7 Gm7/D Dm7 2x Gm7 2x Dm7 2x Bb7 A7 D7 Eb/G D/A A7 Dm7 And soon the day arrived Gm7/D to leave the city of the shrews Dm7 the day when those who were worthy Gm7 would join The King's new zoo.

Dm7 Gm7/D Dm7 2x Gm7 2x Dm7 2x Bb7 A7 D7 Eb/G D/A A7 Dm7 But when the "perfect" shrews Gm7/D stepped up to enter through the gates Dm7 they found that they would not open - Gm7 and the ironic fate Dm7 is those deemed wrong stepped through with perfect ease! Bb7 A7 And so they asked The King why they were not let in D7 Eb/G D/A A7 For it seemed a guarantee. Bb7 A7 And he told them that his zoo has many doors D7 Eb/G D/A A7 Each may find their own way in Bb7 A7 But when you seek a door to keep the Other out D7 Eb/G D/A A7 Dmaj7 You'll find no such door exists.
