Intro: D
Verse 1:
Dsus2
Hey let him follow you down,
D
Way underground, wind and he's bound.
Dsus2
Bound to follow you down,
D
Just a dead beat right off the street.
D
Bound to follow you down.
D
Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos
D
And dressing rooms filled with parasites.
D
On stage the band has got problems,
D
They're a bag of nerves on first nights.
Verse 2:
D
He ain't tied down to no home town,
Dsus2
Yeah, and he thought he was reckless.
D
You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad,
D
Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless.
Chorus:
D
And his coat is torn and frayed,
D
It's seen much better days.
D
Just as long as the guitar plays
A7
Let it steal your heart away.
D
Steal your heart away
Solo (Repeat verse 2)
Chorus:
D
And his coat is torn and frayed,
D
It's seen much better days.
D
Just as long as the guitar plays
A7
Let it steal your heart away.
Verse 3:
D
Joe's got a cough, seems kind of rough
Dsus2
Yeah, and the codeine can fix it.
D
Doctor prescribes, drug store supplies,
Dsus2
Who's gonna help him to kick it
Chorus: (x2)
D
And his coat is torn and frayed,
D
It's seen much better days.
D
Just as long as the guitar plays
A7
Let it steal your heart away.
D
Steal your heart away
