(No Capo)
Intro.: (Am) x 4 bars
Well, I (Am)saw this couple just the other day
Livin' under a bridge in a homeless way
Like a million others without any plan
Livin' day to day in the promised land
In this (F)unforgiving world, there (C)ain't no doubt
It'll (G)chew you up and it'll (D)spit you out
She calls him (Am)barracuda, my barracuda
She used to (Am)work in the circus, a real high wire act
He was a lion tamer up until the attack
He (F)came without instructions, then he (C)came unglued
And (G)now he's just a monster in a (D)human suit
She calls him (Am)barracuda, my barracuda
She (C)still can't figure out what she's (Dm)doin' down here
And (Em)she don't know (F)if he loves her or not
(C) He may (Dm)be a barracuda
But (Em)he's the only lover she's got, (F) (E7) barracuda
Solo: |(Am) |(Am) |(Am) |(Am) |(F) |(C) |(G) |(D) |
She (C)still can't figure out what she's (Dm)doin' down there
And (Em)she don't know (F)if he loves her or not
(C) He may (Dm)be a barracuda
But (Em)he's the only lover she's got, (F) (E7) barracuda, (Am)yeah
(Am) My barracuda, not too many fish in the sea (Barracuda)
Just my barracuda and me (my barracuda)
Swimmin' around, (Barracuda) check out the town (My barracuda)
He's such a barracuda, ooh, yeah (Barracuda, yeah)
(Am) x repeat to fade
