*Note: at the point where the chord is Cmaj7-C, strum the Cmaj7
chord once then hammer on the 1 on the B string immediately.
Basically, you'll be strumming the C chord, then lift of the B
string C for one strum, then hold it again. If you listen to
the song, you can kind of tell.
DOmaj7
In matching blue raincoats, our shoes were our showboats
SOL
we kicked around
DOmaj7
From stairway to station, we made a sensation
SOL
with the gadabout crowd
DOmaj7
And oh what a bargain, we're two easy targets
SOL
For the old men at the off-tracks
DOmaj7
Who've paid in palaver and crumpled old dollars
SOL
Which we squirreled away
MIm LAm LAsus2 LAm
In our rat-trap hotel by the freeway
DO DOmaj7-C SOL
And we slept in Sundays
DOmaj7
Your parents were anxious, your cool was contagious
SOL
At the old school
DOmaj7
You left without leaving a note for your grieving
SOL
Sweet mother while your brother was so cruel
DOmaj7
And here in the alleys your spirits were rallied
SOL
As you learned quick to make a fast buck
DOmaj7
In bathrooms and ballrooms, on dumpsters and heirlooms
SOL
We bit our tongues
MIm LAm
Sucked our lips into our lungs 'til we were falling
DO
Such was our calling
MIm RE LAm DO
And here in our hollow we fused like a family
MIm RE DO
But I will not mourn for you
MIm RE LAm DO
So take up your makeup and pocket your pills away
LAm DOm
We're kings among runaways
SOL
On the bus mall
DOm SOL
We're down on the bus mall
Intro x2
DOmaj7
Among all the urchins and old chinese merchants
SOL
Of the old town
DOmaj7
We reigned at the pool hall with one iron cue ball
SOL
And we never let the bastards get us down
DOmaj7
And we laughed off the quick tricks, the old men with limp dicks
SOL
On the colonnades of the waterfront park
DOmaj7
As four in the morning came on cold and boring
SOL
We huddled close
MIm LAm LAsus2 LAm
In the bus stop enclosure enfolding
DO DOmaj7-C
Our hands tightly holding
MIm RE LAm DO
But here in our hollow we fused like a family
MIm RE DO
But I will not mourn for you
MIm RE LAm DO
So take up your makeup and pocket your pills away
LAm DOm
We're kings among runaways
SOL
On the bus mall
DOm SOL
We're down on the bus mall
DOm SOL
We're down on the bus mall (At this point, Guitar 2 comes in with Intro riff)
DOm SOL
Down on the bus mall
RE DOmaj7 SOL DOmaj7 SOL
Ohhhh
