capo 2nd fret 

INTRO 
C G F C 
Spoken: But he ain't no freak, and I'm shure, he ain't no geek.  

verse 1 
         C                                   F 
He's the star of Captain Midnite's travelin' show 
   C                        F 
He came to that circus many moons ago. 
    F                               C              F 
His mother's in your storybook, she loved a jungle king, 
         C                    G 
Left him standin' there alone inside the center ring. 

verse 2 
     C                                 F 
In a bamboo cage he crossed the ragin' sea, 
  C                                F  
A livin' page torn clean from history. 
  F                       C               F  
A hairy, scary, legendary screamin' souvenir, 
C                               G 
Don't you get too close to him, don't you get too near. 

Chorus 
         F                 C 
He's the wild man from Borneo, 
    E                 F 
The wild man from Borneo. 
   C                   G 
We come to see what we wanna see, 
       F                                C 
Ah, we come to see but we never come to know.

verse 3 
    C                             F 
The tattooed lady left the circus train 
C                            F 
Lost all her pictures in the rain. 
   F                              C                  F 
He wonders if she's happy, as the midway lights grow dimmed 
   F                               G 
He wonders if she'll ever know the mark she left on him. 

Chorus 
         F                  C 
He's the wild man from Borneo,  
    E         F 
The wild man ... 
   C                   G      
We come to see what we wanna see, 
       F                                C 
Ah, we come to see but we never come to know. 

    C                    G 
You come to see what you want to see, 
        F                                  C 
Ah, you come to see, but you never come to know. 

G F C
