Chords with lyrics
but the only thing he gets right are the words. So yeah. It's not an easy tab, and I'm not even
to go near that insane solo saxophone bit. This is just the basic chord
progression driving the song.
In my opinion this sounds much better without hitting any open strings.. most of the time.
It's in 6/8 time. Or 3/4. I never get that right.

Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbm7b5Dbm7b5 Dm7Dm7 Ebdim7Ebdim7
Tight-slacked clad girls on the graveyard shift
E minor 7Em7 Fmaj7Fmaj7
'Neath the cement stroll
E7E7 Am7Am7
Catch the midnight drift
Fmaj7Fmaj7 F7F7
Cigar chewing Charlie
E minor 7Em7 A7A7
In that newspaper nest
Dm7Dm7 G7G7
grifting hot horse tips
Cmaj7Cmaj7 C7C7
On who's running the best
Bm7Bm7 E7E7
And I'm blinded by the neon
A minorAm Am7/GAm7/G D7sus2/F#
Don't try and change my tune
Fmaj7Fmaj7 F7F7
'Cause I thought I heard a saxophone
E minor 7Em7 A7A7 D9D9 G9G9 E minor 7Em7
D9D9 G9G9
I'm drunk on the moon
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbm7b5Dbm7b5
And the moon's a silver slipper
Dm7Dm7 Ebdim7Ebdim7
It's pouring champagne stars
E minor 7Em7 Fmaj7Fmaj7
Broadway's like a serpent
E7E7 Am7Am7
Pulling shiny top-down cars
Fmaj7Fmaj7 F7F7
Laramer is teeming
E minor 7Em7 A7A7
With that undulating beat
Dm7Dm7 G9G9
And some Bonneville is screaming
Cmaj7Cmaj7 C7C7
It's way wilder down the street
Bm7Bm7 E7E7
And I'm blinded by the neon
A minorAm Am7/GAm7/G D7sus2/F#
Don't try and change my tune
Fmaj7Fmaj7 F7F7

D9D9 G9G9
I'm drunk on the moon
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbm7b5Dbm7b5
Hearts flutter and race
Dm7Dm7 Ebdim7Ebdim7
The moon's on the wane
E minor 7Em7 Fmaj7Fmaj7
Tarts mutter their dream hopes
E7E7 Am7Am7
The night will ordain
Fmaj7Fmaj7 F7F7
Come schemers and dancers
E minor 7Em7 A7A7
Cherry delight
Dm7Dm7 G9G9
As a Cleveland-bound Greyhound
Cmaj7Cmaj7 C7C7
And it cuts through the night
Bm7Bm7 E7E7
And I've harked all my yesterdays
A minorAm Am7/GAm7/G D7sus2/F#
Don't try and change my tune
Fmaj7Fmaj7 F7F7
'Cause I thought I heard a saxophone
E minor 7Em7 A7A7 D9D9 G9G9 E minor 7Em7
