[Intro 1]
[Am]
[C][D]
[F][C][D]
[F][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
It was [Am]way after midnight,
all the [F]village was asleep,
All ex[G]cept for one young villain
through [Em]the night did [F]creep,
He went [Am]down to the church,
started [G]ringing the bell,
[F]Everybody came out looking,
[G]running like the hounds [Am]of hell;

[Verse 2]
"There are lights in the castle,
they are [F]blazing all night long,
Let me [G]tell you everybody there
[Em]is something going [F]on,"
So they [Am]took to the torches and
went [G]over the wall,
[F]Someone went ahead to tell of [G]horrors
hiding in [Am]the hall;

[Verse 3]
"What did you [G]see?"
"I saw an apparition,"
[F]"What did you[G] see?" "A
monster on a [F]bed,"
"What did [G]you see?" "I saw
an old magi[F]cian,
[Dm]Waking up the living from the dead!"
[E]

[Verse 4]
Keep [C]away, keep away,
[G]they are mak[F]ing the perfect man[G],
Keep [C]away, keep away,
[D]they are mak[F]ing the perfect,
[G]Making the perfect man!
[Am]

[Verse 5]
So they called for the doctor,
the doc[F]tor said, "it's strange,
He's got pis[G]tols on his finger,
he's got [Em]love on the [F]brain,
He's got a [Am]tongue good for lying
and the leg[G]s to run away,
He will [F]fool all the people [G]all
the time some [Am]day!"

[Verse 6]
"What will he [G]be?" "A
leader of the country,"
[F]"What will he be?[G]" "A
member of the [F]press,"
"What will he [G]be?" "A banker
selling [F]moonbeams,
[Dm]You can watch your money
going [E]west!"
Keep [C]away,

[Verse 7]
keep away,
[G]they are mak[F]ing the perfect man[G],[C]
Keep [D]away, keep away,
they are [F]making the perfect,
Making [G]the perfect [Am]man!

[Verse 8]
[Am]
"I'd [A]like to spend a night with you,
and show you [Am]what[F][Am][G][Em]
[F]I a[Am]m"

[Interlude 1]
[G][F][G][Am]

[Verse 9]
"What will he [G]be?" "Could
make a politician,"
[F]"What will he be?[G]" "A
member of the [F]press,"
"What will he [G]be?" "A banker
selling [F]moonbeams,
[Dm]You can watch your money,
[F]you can watch your money,
[Bdim]You can watc[Bm]h your money
go[Bdim]ing west[E]!"

[Verse 10]
Keep [C]away, keep away,
[G]they are mak[F]ing the perfect man[G],
Keep [C]away, keep away,
[D]they are mak[F]ing the perfect,
[G]Making the perfect man!

[Interlude 2]
[Am]

[Verse 11]
Perfect [Am]man, perfect man,
Making the perfect man,
making the perfect man!
I'd like to spend a night with you
Making the perfect man,

[Outro 1]
making the perfect man!
[Am]
