(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 its just his game
D a
And he carries no shame
A g d
Still, he 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 barber, luke 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 its 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 its hard, oh, don`t you know
C#m bm
To be somebody that you dont even know
A d
But he`s friendly, yes 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.
