A D
On a steamer bound for Baltimore

I said, that's no fun, I've been there before

So I jumped ship in Singapore
E A
With a cook from Mexico
A D
Got a bowl of shark-fin soup
E A
Ducked into a bar for a couple a scoops
A D
Played some Texas-stud with a circus troop
E A
And they cleaned me out of dough
E
They cleaned me out of dough
A E D E
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story

No harm, no foul, no crime

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story
D A
It'll get 'em every time
A D
At dawn they all went back to bed
E A
I went to Borneo instead
A D
Had a hair-of-the dog for my shrunken head
E A
With the Sultan of Brunei
A D
Had a small bit of a seizure
E A
On the way to Micronesia
A D
Got a bad case of amnesia
E A
And forgot to say goodbye
E
Forgot to say goodbye

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story

No harm, no foul, no crime

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story

Stopped in Tajikistan on the way to Iran
A
Took a break in Jamaica to work on my tan
A
Swam from Cayo Fragoso to Carriacou
A
I climbed Machu Pichu in darkest Peru
A
Had a pint with the pope and played pool with the queen
A
She's good with a stick, if you know what I mean
A
I once had a job riding bulls in Montana
A E
I taught Jimi Hendrix the Star-Spangled Banner
A
I've been to Morocco, Malawi, Macau
A E
I know how to fly, but I won't tell you how

From a Congolese high-rollah

Got deported from Angola

To a castle on the Rhine

Ask anyone that knew me

The Emir of Bahrain sued me

I was in a Blockbuster movie
E A
And I didn't make a dime
