They raised him up on the instalment plan
FF G+G
The homely son of a handsome man
C majorC G+G FF G+G
Neither clear-complected nor expected to achieve
C majorC D MajorD
A augmentedA little bit ragged, a little bit rough
FF
A augmentedA little too rowdy for the summer of love
C majorC G+G C majorC
Still he's looking for a reason to believe
CHORUS:
FF C majorC G+G
And he's changed his name from Frank to Valentino
FF C majorC
And he's growing out his sideburns
G+G
And he's wearing platform shoes
FF C majorC E7E7 A minorAm
And he's driving on the midnight road from Medford down to Reno
FF C majorC G+G
And he thinks he's found a way to cure his working blues
C majorC D MajorD
He got himself married at seventeen
FF G+G
She looked real pretty but she talked kinda mean
C majorC G+G FF G+G
He thought they'd work things out in the fullness of time
C majorC D MajorD
Well, twenty years later he's headed south
FF
The close-range victim of her sawed-off mouth
C majorC G+G C majorC
Leaving their salad days behind
CHORUS:
FF C majorC G+G
And he's changed his name from Frank to Valentino
FF C majorC
And he's growing out his sideburns
G+G
And he's wearing platform shoes
FF C majorC E7E7 A minorAm
And he's driving on the midnight road from Medford down to Reno
FF C majorC G+G
And he thinks he's found a way to cure his working blues
INSTRUMENTAL: C majorC G+G FF C majorC G+G FF
C majorC D MajorD
Lord have mercy on the working stiff
FF G+G
Pulling graveyards and double-shifts
C majorC G+G FF G+G
Trying to hold his own beside the pretty and the bright
C majorC D MajorD
Giving up the dream of his own backyard
FF
Juggling taxes and credit cards
C majorC G+G C majorC
Now he's rolling like a ghost train through the night
CHORUS:
FF C majorC G+G
And he's changed his name from Frank to Valentino
FF C majorC
And he's growing out his sideburns
G+G
And he's wearing platform shoes
FF C majorC E7E7 A minorAm
And he's driving on the midnight road from Medford down to Reno
FF C majorC G+G
And he thinks he's found a way to cure his working blues
FF C majorC G+G
And he thinks he's found a way to cure his working blues
FF C majorC G+G
Yes, he thinks he's found a way to cure his working blues
