A6sus4     x07770 
AM7sus2    x09990  = A7sus2

E                E7     E                     E7
Whores on every corner, mostly smuggled from the east

E                      E7         E                     E7
Locked in trunks of Mercedes with some stale cookies to eat

Am              A6sus2              A6sus4              A7sus2    
Or walking miles from Africa following Hannibals elephant prints

E                E7     E                 E7
Prisoners of Philosophy paying very high rents

Bm                      C                  D
Freezing in the summer sweating out the frost

E                   E7         E             E7   E  E7  E  E7
The world turned upside down, profit at any cost

           C         D         E  E7  E  E7
It was an open city open all night

           C         D         E  E7  E  E7
It was an open city closed up tight

E                       E7        E                     E7
When I could not find a toy store nor anything made of wood

E                  E7                E                E7
Checkout time was early but I would stay in bed if I could

Am            A6sus2            A6sus4            A7sus2    
I was listening to the radio to a liberal talk show host

E                             E7     E                       E7
He stopped once to catch his breath and they handed him his coat

Bm                             C         D
We give no slack to anyone no reason or excuse

               E        E7        E              E7   E  E7  E  E7
We keep your balls in a vice land your head in a noose

           C         D         E  E7  E  E7
It was an open city open all night

           C         D         E  E7  E  E7
It was an open city closed up tight

             E               E7     E          E7
Where’s the elegance gone to salad days of my youth

       E                  E7                   E           E7
These symbols are overwhelming I’m growing so long in the tooth

       Am            A6sus2            A6sus4            A7sus2    
I see oval shaped aristocrats puff their chest like Donald Duck

E                E7     E                 E7
I want a dial telephone a gypsy woman for good luck

Bm                                      C         D
Or is it just another bad dream but as far as I’m concerned

             E           E7              E          E7   E  E7  E  E7
Just get me out of this movie until the king is overturned

           C         D         E  E7  E  E7
It was an open city open all night

           C         D         E  E7  E  E7
It was an open city closed up tight

           C         D         E  E7  E  E7   E  E7  E  E7   E
It was an open city open all night
