{E}Harlequin dancing between the sun and the moon  
   They got you dancing to a gollows tune  
   Tell me what happened to your well laid plans  
   To make yourself a singulary self made man  
  
(This is the same as the E except in the open A position)  
{A}Got ya running to your candy coloured chevrolette  
   Cunsumer consumed and the loser has to pay  
{E}Higher you climb, deeper you go  
   Talk about a change nothing change so slow  
  
{Chorus}  
{E}Climbing up the ivory stairs,   
{G}Never gonna get anywhere  
{A}Looking at the first step,   
   Can't get a good grip  
{E}Climbing up the ivory stairs,
