Intro: B minorBm A augmentedA


verse 1
A augmentedA             D MajorD   Ddim7Ddim7
Small screen, July evening view
      F# minorF#m      F#7F#7
Up and down Grand Avenue
          B minorBm    E MajorE
Where the 🏷Legends get made
       A augmentedA   D MajorD     E MajorE
Out with the Boys' Brigade
      A augmentedA  D MajorD   B minorBm  A augmentedA
Part of the motorcade
A augmentedA             D MajorD    Ddim7Ddim7
Flew home from Texas last night
       F# minorF#m   F#7F#7
Slept on the flight
           B minorBm  E MajorE
Work like a dog all day
       A augmentedA   D MajorD   E MajorE
Born to chase cars away
      A augmentedA    D MajorD
Die on the road someday
 B minorBm   Ddim7Ddim7            A augmentedA  F# minorF#m  D MajorD
I try to remember what life was like long ago
     E MajorE
But it's gone, you know

     E MajorE     A augmentedA
Climb the turnbuckle high
           D MajorD
Take two falls out of three
E MajorE          A augmentedA  B minorBm  A augmentedA
Blackout for local TV


verse 2
A augmentedA              D MajorD  Ddim7Ddim7
Stand in that cold empty hall
             F# minorF#m   F#7F#7
Wait for your name to get called
            B minorBm
Burn like hillsides on fire
       E MajorE    A augmentedA    D MajorD    E MajorE
In the squall of the ringside choir
A augmentedA     D MajorD   E minor 7Em7
High as a wire
                    D MajorD    Ddim7Ddim7
Nearly drive Danny's nose back into his brain
    F# minorF#m       FaugFaug  A augmentedA  B minorBm  A augmentedA
All the cheap seats go insane
A augmentedA                 D MajorD     Ddim7Ddim7
Keep my eyes open and try to think straight
               F# minorF#m  F#7F#7
No one drives on the 60 this late
              B minorBm   E MajorE
Feel like the last person alive
    A augmentedA         D MajorD    E MajorE  A augmentedA  D MajorD
Francisquito to Glenshaw Drive
 B minorBm    Ddim7Ddim7         A augmentedA    F# minorF#m  E MajorE  D MajorD
I try to remember to write in the diary
D MajorD    E MajorE
That my son gave me


     E MajorE     A augmentedA
Climb the turnbuckle high
           D MajorD
Take two falls out of three
E MajorE          A augmentedA
Blackout for local TV
