VERSE 1:
In the corner of my eye I saw you in Rudy's you were very high
#9 #9
You were high it was a crying disgrace (They saw your face)
On the counter by your keys was a book of numbers and your remedies
#9 #9
One of these surely will screen out the sorrow
But where are you tomorrow
CHORUS:
I can't cry anymore while you run around (while you run around)
Break away just when it seems so clear that it's over now
Drink your big black cow and get out of here
Down to Green street there you go....
(The rest is as for verse 1)
....lookin' so outrageous and they tell you so
You should know how all the pro's play the game
(You change your name)
Like a ganster on the run
You will stagger homeward to your precious one
I'm the one who must make everything right
Talk it out till daylight
I don't care anymore why you run around (why you run around)
Break away , just when it seems so clear that it's over now
Drink your big black cow and get out of here
INSTRUMENTAL BIT :
LAST CHORUS
This last chorus is the same as the others except for the last bit which goes :
Drink your big black cow and get out of here
Amaj7 (2) G/A C/D (2) Amaj7 (2) G 6/9 (Repeat this line to fade)
Chord shapes :
Don't be put off beacause there are a lot of shapes - there are some unusual
chords, but quite a few are really duplicates (e.g Bb9,B9,C9) and some chords
have two shapes to choose from (C/D,D/E)
x4x455 x9b9a9 x79997 x57675 x8x886 6x656x 7x767x
X8Xaxa x0x7x7 3xx455 x07654
If I left any chord shapes out let me know.
Hope you enjoy it!
Howard
