         D               A
         cubists and the dadaists and I

         Maybe I could, maybe I could, maybe I
         A                   
         could meet the artists and get to know them

         C#m         A               B

         E                        A              B
         All the ads would be for fine scotch or whiskey
         C#m          B
         Glenfiddich, Glenlivet,
         A                     E       A
