Ezra Pound sat upon my bed
Dm
Asked me which books as of late I've read
G
Ezra Pound sat upon my bed
A Bb
Asked me which books as of late I've read
Gm
Asked me if I've, uh, read his own
A Dm
And whether I could spare a pound
Gm
Of flesh to cover his bare bones
A Bb
I says, "Man, take a pound, take two
Gm
What's a pound of flesh between
A Dm
Friends like me and you?
Bb A Dm
What's a pound of flesh among friends?
Bb A Dm
What's a pound of flesh among friends?"
