E G A  E G D A

E      G       A
Oo-wee how d I lose?
E               G        D     A
Talking about a night in Santa Cruz
E      G       A
Oo-wee how d I lose?
E               G        D     A
Talking about a night in Santa Cruz

        E           G     D      A (E G D A)
Well, I came to the coast from L.A.
        E                      G       A   (E G D A)
Just to give a little music to boo me away
E     G          D      A     (E G D A)
Hey J.J. can you play Cocaine?
E                      D       A   (E G D A)
Do After Midnight it's all the same

E      G       A
Oo-wee how d I lose?
E               G        D     A
Talking about a night in Santa Cruz
E      G       A
Oo-wee how d I lose?
     E                  G        D     A
I'll tell you about the night in Santa Cruz

E G A  E G D A

        E           G            D         A
Well we didn't play long and you booed too soon
  E        G        D               A
I can't do right no matter what you do
  E           G             D    A
A girl in the crowd, at the finale
E          G        D    A
Shouted at me had I even tried
 E          G            D           A
Another man left 'cos he didn't stay long
  E              G          D        A
I thought we had played his favorite song

E   G    D         A
Hey you, pull that weight
   E                                 D     A
As soon as it's cleaned up then I'll fade away
   E           G             D       A
My friends and I hope you're glad to see
E                     G       A
Me and friends coming off the street

Play, Richard
Break

E       G      D         A   (E G D A)
I don't mean a man can't lose
     E           G        D     A    (E G D A)
Just stay by the night in Santa Cruz
     E                    G     A    (E G D A)
Just stay by the night in Santa Cruz

E       G      D         A     (E G D A)
I don't mean a man can't lose . . .
