Chords

[Intro] E A E B7 E [Verse 1]
E7
Mama makes the music and she makes the news

E7
She dances all night in her golden shoes

            A7                   E7
She's high flying, going, going, gone

           C#7                     F#7           B7      E7
She'll be halfway to Heaven by the hour that the morning comes
[Verse 2]
E7
And papa's sacked out with his head in his lap

E7
Mama likes to think that he's taking a nap

             A7                                 E7
Because he's working so hard, working all night long

         C#7                    F#7           B7      E7
He'll be halfway to hell in the hour that the morning comes
[Chorus]
       A7
Like a bat out of hell in the moonlight

                                                   E7
Like the pieces of the picture that you broke last night

A7
I'm sure it's gonna be all right

        C#7                  F#7           B7      E7
I'll be halfway heavy by the hour that the morning comes
[Verse 3]
    E7
Oh, look at that fool with the lampshade on

 E7
Somebody told him he was having fun

              A7                    E7
But they were wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

          C#7                   F#7     B7            E7
If he's a fool enough he might open his eyes when the morning comes along
[Verse 4]
    E7
Now look at that secret agent man

E7
Sneaking out of church with blood on his hands

          A7                  E7
He's for sale, going, going, gone

             C#7                   F#7        B7        E7
He'll be the first to know and the last to go when the shit hits the fan
[Chorus]
E7
Gimme little water, gimme little wine

E7
You're looking at a man who's been out in the sunshine

        A7                             E7
Just a little too long, little bit too long

            C#7                 F#7           B7      E7
But I'll be halfway home in the hour that the morning comes
[Outro] A7 E7 E A E B7 E
