The Ballad Of Sigmund Freud Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Well it started in Vienna
not so many years ago
when not enough folks
were [D]getting sick.
That a starving [G]young physician
tried to better his [C]position
by discov[G]ering what
[D]made his patients tick.
[G]He forgot about sclerosis
and [C]invented the psychosis
and a [G]hundred ways that
sex could be en[D]joyed.
He adop[G]ted as his credo
down repres[C]sion of libido
and that [G]was the [D]start of Dr.
Dr. Sigmund [G]Freud
Well, Dr. Freud
Dr. Freud
Oh, Dr. Freud
Dr. Freud
How we wish you had been
differently [D]employed
But the [G]set of circumstances
Still en[C]hances the finances
Of the [G]followers of [D]Dr. Sigmund [G]Freud
Well, he analyzed the dreams
Of the [C]teens and libertines
[G]Substituted monologue per[D]fumes
He drew [G]crowds just like Welles Sadler
When [C]along came Jung and Adler
And they [G]said,
By [D]God, there's gold in them bar [G]ills
They encountered no resistance
when they [C]served as Freud's assistants
As [G]with ego and with id
they deftly [D]toyed
But instead of [G]totin' bedpans,
they [C]wore analytic deadpans
Those am[G]bitious doctors
[D]Ezra Young and [G]Freud
Well, Dr. Freud
Dr. Freud
Was marching in
Was marching in
How we wish you had been
differently [D]employed
But the [G]set of circumstances
still en[C]hances the finances
Of the followers [D]of Dr. Sigmund [G]Freud
And now the big three have departed,
but not [C]so the cult they started,
no, [G]it's being carried on by
a woodly [D]band.
And to [G]trauma, shock,
and war -shock,
[C]someone's gone and added Rorschach,
[Cm]and [D]the thing has got completely
out of [G]hand.
So old boys with double chinsies
and a [C]thousand would -be kinsies,
they dis[G]cuss it at the
drop of [D]a repression.
And I [G]wouldn't be complaining,
but for [C]all the loot I'm paying,
just to [G]lie on [D]someone's couch
and say con[G]fession?
Well, Dr. Freud, cha -cha -cha,
oh, Dr. Freud, cha -cha -cha,
How we wish you had been
differently em[D]ployed.
But the [G]set of circumstances
still en[C]hances the finances
Of the [G]followers of [D]Dr. Sigmund [G]Freud.
But the set of circumstances
[D]Still enh[C]ances the financ[F]es[Cm]
Well, that was beautiful, fellas.
Of the fathers [D]of Dr. Sigmund Freud,
[G]cha -cha -cha!
