           Mi

All the late night bargains have been struck

Fa#m            Si          La/Do#         Si   Do#

Between the satin beaus and their belles

Fa#m

And prehistoric garbage trucks

            Re13(#11)                     Sol

Have the city to themselves Echoes roars dinosaurs

Fa#m            Si         La/Do#    Si/Re#

They're all doing the monster mash

Do#/Mi#                   Fa#m

And most of the taxis and the whores

       Re13(#11)

Are only taking calls for cash

 

La                      Si                                    Fa/Sol#              La

I don't know how it happened It all took place so quick

La      Mi/Si    Mi/Sol# Fa#m/La  Si          La/Do#

But all I can do             is hand it to you

Sib/Re#       Sol#7                     Fa#m9b5

And your latest trick

 

Sol#7   Mi

My door was standing open

Fa#m         Si       La/Do#       Si   

Security was laid back and lax

Do#            Fa#m

But it was only my heart got broken

                                Re13(#11)                                     Sol

You must have had a pass key made out of wax You played robbery with insolence

Fa#m            Si         La/Do#    Si/Re#

And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane

Do#/Mi#                      Fa#m

And you never did have the inteligence to use

                                Re13(#11)

The twelve keys hanging off my chain

 

La                      Si                                    Fa/Sol#              La

I don't know how it happened It all took place so quick

La      Mi/Si    Mi/Sol# Fa#m/La  Si          La/Do#

But all I can do             is hand it to you

Sib/Re#       Sol#7                     Fa#m9b5

And your latest trick

 

Sol#7   Mi

Now it's past last call for alcohol

Fa#m         Si       La/Do#       Si   

Past recall has been here and gone

Do#            Fa#m

The landlord finally paid us all

                                               Re13(#11)                 Sol

The satin jazzmen have put away their horns And we're standing outside of this wonderland

Fa#m            Si         La/Do#    Si/Re#

Looking so bereaved and so bereft

Do#/Mi#                      Fa#m

Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands

                                Re13(#11)

The bottle's empty and there's nothing left

 

La                      Si                                  Fa/Sol#              La

I don't know how it happened  It was faster than the eye could flick

La      Mi/Si     Mi/Sol#   Fa#m/La  Si          La/Do#

But now all I can do           is hand it to you

Sib/Re#       Sol#7

And your latest trick
