(intro)

A bm e d

Ferdinand standing in the tower thinkin how to get the power

Empress knows that it would cost her

For ferdinand the imposter

Came to me to make a deal

Dressed like general butterfield.

A bm d e

Couldnt wait to thank him for the stuffed birds and rubber door

A g d

Donated to him from the poor

D a

But it's just his game

D a

And he carries no shame

A g d

Stillhe done nobody wrong

D a

He knew he didn't belong

D a

But he went along

C#m

D e e7

Looking to see if there's somebody else he'd like to be

Benny the barberluke and me

Passed out tickets cautiously

To see the burning of the soup

Down at lucy's chicken coop.

Then of course ferdinand

Started out doing charlie chan.

That last atlas honkey's fall

He says he's gonna do them all.

A voice just said he's not for real

But it's just his game

And he carries no shame.

Still he done nobody wrong

He knew he didn't belong

But he went along.

Lookin' to see if there's somebody

Else he'd like to be.

C#m bm

Oh it's hardohdon't you know

C#m bm

To be somebody that you don't even know

A d

But he's friendlyyes he's kind

B e e7

I can't help wonderin why they'd want to change his mind

Got a message in the mail

Ferdinand was thrown in jail.

I left the snow with abigail

Went on down to fix his bail.

They had him locked in a gunny sack

His hands were tied behind his back.

He claimed he was a doukhobor (*)

But they never heard of that in baltimore.

The police said he'd better go home

And he went back alone

Back to the snow.

Still he done nobody wrong

He knew he didn't belong

But he went along.

Lookin' to see if there's somebody

Else he'd like to be

Mainly free.
