1. O Ms Deity

D A A A

this life is so tough

A E E E7

Don’t you know it’s not easy

E7 A A A7---

trying to be your good man.

(A7) D D D

Ms Deity I’m hoping

D A A A

that it could be enough

A E E E7

just to keep my eyes open

E7 A A A7---

and to do what I can.

D D D

2. O Ms Deity,

D A A A

you dance and you shake

A E E E7

and there’s whistling and howling

E7 A A A7---

everywhere that you go

(A7) D D D

And you just smile sweetly

D A A A

You say “by golly now, then”

A E E E7

and you leave in your wake

E7 A A A7---

such destruction and woe

D D

Chorus: I’ve lost my reason -

D D

I’ve given up my freedom

D D A A

just trying to get a read on Ms Deity.

D D D D A A F#m F#m

It tears me up inside how I tried & I tried & I tried

D D D D

I end at the start with a mooshed up heart

D D E E E7---

but o what a wonderful ride

D D D

3. Ms Deity, have pity!

D A A A

You hold all the cards

A E E E7

and you look at the faces

E7 A A A7---

and you make up the rules.

(A7) D D D

Would it be so hard? -

D A A A

if you could just slip me

A E E E7

just a couple of aces,

E7 A A A7---

that’d be so cool.

Chorus

D D D

4. Ms Deity, it’s cruel -

D A A A

thought my glass was half empty;

A E E E7

you said no that’s wrong,

E7 A A A7---

said the glass is full.

(A7) D D D

Sang a different song

D A A A

once you started to tempt me

A E E E7

Felt as drunk as a fool

E7 A A A7---

and had no glass at all.

Chorus

D D

Tag: Is she only teasing?

E E7 A A A A---

it’s so hard pleasing Ms Deity.

Extra verse: O Ms Deity,

I think it’s important

since I know I can’t hide

Gonna come out and say

I’m working hard really

to make it my fortune

just to be by your side

at the end of the day
