Subject: VICAR IN A TUTU by The Smiths
Vicar In A Tutu
(Morrissey/Marr)
Basically this song (off of the luxurious Queen Is Dead album) is all simple
chords with that Johnny Marr touch. The E chord during the verse, for
example, is played by stroking the high E string and then moving up with the
stroke. It is not that difficult. Here it is:
E
I was minding my business lifting some lead off
E
The roof of the Holy Name Church
E
It was worthwhile living a laughable life
E
Just to set my eyes on a blistering sight
C#m
Of a vicar in a tutu
He~s not strange
A B
He just wants to live his life this way
E
A scanty bit of a thing with a decorative ring
E
That wouldn~t cover the head of a child
E
As Rose collects the money in the cannister
E
Who comes sliding down the banister
C#m
The vicar in a tutu
He~s not strange
A B
He just wants to live his life this way
E
The monkish monsignor with a head full of plaster
E
Said, -my man, get your vile soul dry-cleaned-
E
As Rose counts the money in the cannister
E
As natural as rain he dances again
C#m
Vicar in a tutu
Oh yeah
A B
Oh yeah...
E E E E
C#m
Vicar in a tutu
Oh yeah
A B
Oh yeah...
E
The next day in the pulpit with freedom and ease
E
Combating ignorance, dust and disease
E
As Rose counts the money in the cannister
E
As natural as raihe dances again and again and again
C#m
And the fabric of a tutu
Any man could get used to
A B
And I am a living sign
C#m A B
I~m a living sign....
C#m A B
I~m a living sign....
that is basically the song in it~s entirety...
-----so i broke into the palace
with a sponge and a rusty spanner
she said, "i know you, and you cannot sing"
i said, "that's nothing you should hear me play piano"

| Now this song IS about homosexuals that "want to live [their] life this way" | |
