[D] [D] [D] [D] [G] [G7] x2
[D] Going down dirty inner city side road I [G7] plotted
[D] Madness passed me by, she smiled hi, I [G7] nodded
[D] Looked up as the sky [A7] began to cry, [D] she shot it
[D] Met a girl from Dearborn, [G7] early six o'clock this morn, [D] A cold fact
[G] Asked about her bag, [A7] suburbia's such a drag, [D] won't go back
[F] 'Cos Papa don't allow [C] no new [G] ideas [D] [D] here
[F] And now he sees the news, but the [C] picture's [G] not too [D] clear.
[G] Mama, Papa, stop, treasure [G] what you got,
Soon you may be caught [D] without it
[G] The curfew's set for eight, will it ever all be straight [D] I doubt it
[D] [D]
[D] Seven jealous fools playing [D] by her rules, can't [G7] believe her
[D] He feels so in between, can't [D] break the scene, it would [G7] grieve her
[D] And that's the reason why [A7] he must cry, [D] he'll never leave her
[D] Crooked children, yellow chalk, [G7] writing on the concrete walk
[D] Their king died
[G7] Drinking from a Judas cup, looking down but seeing up, [D7] Sweet Red Wine
[F] 'Cos Papa don't allow no [C] new [G] ideas [D] here [D]
And [F] now hear the music, but the [C] words don't [G] sound too [D] clear [D]
[G] Mama, Papa, stop, treasure [G] what you got,
Soon you may be caught [D] without it
[G] The curfew's set for eight, will it [G] ever all be straight [D] I doubt it
[D] Going down a dusty, Georgian side road I [G7] wonder
[D] The wind splashed in my face, [A7] can smell a trace Of thunder [D]
