Immediatly after the second G** play the INTRO again (C, Csus4Csus4 X2) to transition to
VERSE 2.

VERSE 2:
Same as VERSE 1 except a bit more strumming sounds good here (especially with more high
e-string notes played with the chords at times)

C majorC       E minorEm      FF     G+G
I take the streetcars around San Francisco
C majorC         E minorEm        FF   Fm(maj7)
Get winks from the pretty boys down in the Castro
G+G        A minorAm       Fmaj7Fmaj7      Cmaj7Cmaj7
Through the turnstiles roll the jappy girls and shabby dolls
G+G      A minorAm     FF         G*
I can't resist myself, I get their names, I never call.

CHORUS 2:
Similar to CHORUS 1, but mostly strumming this time!

And it feels like dying, but still your heart beats

Em, F, C, G+G
