A
I was sitting outside one night, and...

A                        D                       A
The moon hung like a shadow on a rung over Shanghai

F#m                                                 E
Them soldier boys were returning home screaming "Banzai"

A                                    D 
And the kids are still playing their game

A                                        F#m
Getting hustled and rustled out in the rain

    Bm              A           E  
As I sat inside listening to the broadcast

A                        D                      A
Oh, save my soul, sweet rock and roll, 'cause I'm sinkin' fast

A                           D                                A
Now the legendary chaplain of the fighting 51st was getting ready to go

         F#m                                                 E
I said, "Padre, do you know a cheap virgin who likes to tango?"

           A                   D             A                   
He said, "You can try Linda Lee", around the corner and across the 

 F#m
sea

 Bm                          E
Word is out, word is out she's fast

      D                   E                       A
Well, blow me down now, Linda, 'cause I'm sinkin' fast

F#m                                                       E
Yes, and them cats are sure getting fat down in the train yard

Bm                                                     F#m
And the sandman brings them dreams to ship out in the boxcars

Bm                                      F#m
The union says, "Hold." Break out the dice, break out the gold

D                   E
It's lunchtime at last

      A                                                  E
And old big Mama said, "George Raft's tonight on the late show"

D                                              E
She sits straddling a kitchen chair, really gung-ho

F#m                                   Bm
She shivers with chills, wet with slot car thrills

D                        E
Hypnotically lost in the glass

            G                    E
And we all sigh with the sunrise

E
As we watch the credits pass

A                              D                       A
And then the morning cloak fell down like a hoax over Sleepy Town

F#m                                            E
And garbage truck vigilantes out making the last rounds

A                              D              A           F#m                                        
The inheritor he sipped his beer and poked cute fun of the queer

Bm                         E
And threatened to kick his ass

A
So, the kid goes back inside the station

                  E
And turns on his radio (to his local AM station)

A   F#m  
        Out on the radio                 

A    D  
        It was alright 

A  F#m 
       It's on the radio 

                   A  D
And the band played 

           A  D
Everybody
