              Verse 1:
G 
He sits down and rolls his tongue in his mouth 
G 
They get up and start rolling around 
G 
He puts his arm on her and they walk out 
     D             Em                    G 
And I sit and watch and write everything down 
 
 
D     Em            C 
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse 
          G         D 
Short and funny-looking 
       Em          C 
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse 
     Em            D 
Tendency for absinthe 
Am              C 
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse 
       G 
One Toulouse 
 
Verse 2: 
G 
I live now as a small-town lady 
G 
Nights are fine when I remember they pay me 
G 
We can talk but I'm not your baby 
    D         Em 
And he passes out sometime around 3 
         G 
Oh sweet relief 
 
 
 
D     Em            C 
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse 
          G         D 
Short and funny-looking 
       Em          C 
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse 
     G            D 
Tendency for absinthe 
Am              C 
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse 
       G 
One Toulouse 
 
 
Bridge: 
Am 
We have the makers and the movers 
C 
The lifeguards and the gardeners who are 
G 
Killing time like beer 
D 
Spilling on his paper 
Am 
The old boys with the new girls 
C 
The lovers with the half-pipes 
G                          D 
And the solos, the wolves, the men 
 
 
 
        Em            C 
Like Toulouse, oh Toulouse 
          G         D 
Short and funny-looking 
       Em          C 
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse 
     G            D 
Tendency for absinthe 
Am              C 
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse 
       G 
One Toulouse
