Enjoy the following Harry Chapin tune.

Tangled Up Puppet
Harry Chapin      (klr)
capo 5th fret

I?m a D tangle up Dmaj7 puppet Bm spinning round in A7 knots
And the A more I see of what A7 used to be, the A less of you I
D got

D There was a time that you Dmaj7 curled up in my Bm lap like a
D child
You?d G cling to me G/f# smiling your G/e eyes wide and G
wild
Now you Bm slip through my D arms, wave a Bm passing G/e
hello
A Twist away , and A7 toss a kiss, A laughing as you D go

D You used to say, ?Read me a Dmaj7 story, and Bm sing me songs
of D love?
For G you were Princess G/f#  Paradise, on the G/e wings of a
G dove
Now I Bm chase you and D tease you trying to Bm remake you my
G/E own
But A you just turn A7 away and say, A ?Please leave me D
alone.?    A

And I?m a D tangled up Dmaj7 puppet, all Bm hanging in your
A7 strings
I?m a A butterfly in a A7 spider?s web, A fluttering my D
wings
And the D more that I keep Dmaj7 dancing, and Bm spinning
?round in A7 knots
The A more I see what A7 used to be and the A less of you I D
got

You are a D drawer full of Dmaj7 make-up and Bm rinses and D
things
You keep G changing your G/f# moods like your G/e earrings and
G rings
But Bm tonight while we played D tag for five Bm minutes in the
G/E yard
Well, A just for a A7 moment, I A caught you off D guard
A

And I?m a D tangled up Dmaj7 puppet all Bm hanging in your A7
strings;
I?m a A butterfly in a A7 spider?s web, A fluttering my D
wings
And the D more that I keep Dmaj7 dancing, and Bm spinning
?round in A7 knots,
The A more I see what A7 used to be and the A less of you I D
got

But for Bm now you write your G secret poems in a
A room just for your Bm dreams
You G don?t find time to Bm talk to me A about the things you
mean. . .
What I G mean is

I have D watched you takes Dmaj7 shape from a Bm jumble of D
parts
And G find the grace and G/f# form of a G/e fine work of G
art
Hey, Bm you, my brand new D woman, newly Bm come into your
G/E own,
A Don?t you know that A7 you don?t need to A grow up all D
alone


I hope you all enjoyed that one.
