The faster they get out of town

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm
Oh you were just a roller coaster memory

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm     G-D
I don't know why I was even passing through

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm  D-G
Saw you making a date with Destiny

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm
When he came around here asking after you

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm     A augmentedA E minorEm
In the shadow of the Wheel of Fortune

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm  G-D
You're busy trying to clear your name

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm       D-G
You say 'I may be guilty yeah that may be true

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm    A augmentedA E minorEm
But I'd be lying if I said I was to blame

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm
See we could have been major contenders

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm
We never got no money no breaks'

Oh but it's a sad reminder

         B minorBm          G+G
When your organ grinder has to come to you for the rent

And all you've got to give him

          A augmentedA
Is the use of your side-show tent

  D MajorD      G+G   A augmentedA    D MajorD
Yes and that's all that remains of the years

      G+G
Spent doing the rounds

Bridge 2:


  A augmentedA   E minorEm     A augmentedA     E minorEm

And you know what they say about beggars

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm     D-G
You know who's the first to blame his tools

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm
You never gave a damn about who you pick up

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm   G-D
And leave layin' bleedin' on the ground

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm
You screw people over on the way up

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm
Because you thought that you were never coming down

And he'll take you out in Vaudeville Valley

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm    G-D
With his hand up smothering your screams

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm    D MajorD
And he'll screw you down in Tin Pan Alley

  A augmentedA    E minorEm    A augmentedA     E minorEm
In the city of a billion dreams
