[Intro]
D A G D
[Verse]
D
Well Tulsa’s last magician
D
Got his start at four
D
Pulled a quarter from his
A
Own ear and spun it on the floor
Bm
Since there’s no good tricks but
A D G
Old ones and lyin’ ain’t that hard
G
He saved up all his quarters and
D
He bought a deck of cards
D
And he learned ragtime piano,
D
Though his teacher thought him slow
D
Got a black belt in karate
A
From a pawn shop video
Bm A
And he’d practice all his worst mistakes
D G
In a dirty bathroom mirror
Em
And when his mother drank,
D
He learned to disappear
[Chorus]
D
And his classmates thought him funny
D
And good at sleight of hand
D
He had this grand finale
A
They refused to understand
Bm A
It’s hard to tell the whole truth
D G
Of a family sawed in half
D
And that’s why Tulsa’s last
G D D A Bm G D
Magician left his home so fast
[Verse]
D
Well down and out in Reno,
D
Broke in Santa Fe
D
Turnin’ tricks on Los Sueñeros
A
Out in Californ-i-ay
Bm A
Well they pushed him up against the
D G
Wall said buddy get a grip
G
So he learned to set himself on fire
D
On the Las Vegas strip
D
And he wandered down to Tampa,
G D
Blew everybody’s minds
D
‘Cause the crowd was
Cheap and easy there,
A
On beer and blow and wine
Bm A
Said I wonder where my dollar went,
D G
How’d the flower bloom so fast
G
Said I can’t reveal my secret,
D
Though they rarely failed to ask
[Chorus]
G D
And the crowd all thought him funny,
G D
And good at sleight of hand
G D
But he had this grand finale
A
They refused to understand
Bm A
They demanded explanation when the
D G
Card pulled was their own
G
And that’s why Tulsa’s last magician
D A G D
Lost his faith and headed home
[Verse]
D
Well he said he’d learn computers,
G D
Like his second foster dad
D
And free-range all the rabbits
A
That were livin’ in his hat
Bm A
His investments all went swimmingly,
D G
He had the boss on hidden strings
G
His promotions were a certainty,
D
He could make the numbers sing
D
Now time and space is
G D
Easy for magic to control
D
Still it was forty years of workin’
A
‘Fore he noticed he was old
Bm A
Now his great escaping act is
D G
Just untying both his shoes
A
And most days he’s in the
D
Easy chair, yellin’ at the news
[Chorus]
G D
And the weatherman is funny
G D
And talkin’ with his hands
G D
But black clouds are comin’ in,
A
And no one understands
Bm A
That somebody’s true religion’s
D G
Always someone else’s joke
D G
And that’s why Tulsa’s last magician
D D D
Pretty much went up in smoke
[Verse]
D
So friend if you’re the
Kind that thinks no
G D
One quite gets quite what you are
D
Like you’re a cobbler or mechanic
A
In this age of flying cars
Bm A
If you think that you see right behind
D G
What’s right before our eyes
D
You might be a small town’s
Bm D
Last magician in disguise
[Chorus]
G D
Now we need you to be funny,
G D
Please be good at sleight of hand
G D
‘Cause there’s a grand finale
A
We can’t hope to understand
Bm A
And there’s a 1 in 52 chance it’s
D G
All magic and it’s true
G
So won’t you please help us
Bm D A G A D A D
Believe in you?
