Intro: G Em

Verse 1:
G                                       Em
It's a humid night, the moon is getting full again
G                                         Em
Somewhere there's a slight figure made of paraffin
    D                      C
And someone is turning its head
    D                      C
And someone is pulling its leg
    Am    C  D
It's magic

Verse 2:
G                                      Em
It's a restless crowd, the doves are flying from his sleeves
G                                 Em
One girl's not so loud, like a convert she believes
      D                       C
She's always been looking for wires
    D                      C
But now she knows none are required
    Am     C  D
It's magic

Verse 3:
G                                    Em
Wrap me up in chains, with the magic words you say
G                                Em
I can use my brain, I can make my getaway
    D                  C
But I will be your volunteer
   D                     C
If you make this love disappear
    Am    C  D
Like magic
