Steely Dan – Kid Charlemagne (Guitar)

Am                          G6
 While the music played you worked by candle light

      F6/9                                Bb13
Those San Francisco nights, you were the best in town

Am                            G6
 Just by chance you crossed a diamond with a pearl

    F6/9                                    Bb13
You turned it on the world, that's when you turned the world around

F6         G        Am      G6            Dm7    G6 F6
  Did you feel like Jesus?     Did you realise

                Em7               Fmaj7   Em7  Dm7
That you were a champion in their eyes?

Am                          G6
  On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene

    F6/9                              Bb13
But yours was kitchen clean. Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolour motorhome

Am                        G6
  Every A-frame had your number on the wall

    F6/9                              Bb13
You must have had it all. You'd go to LA on a dare and you'd go it alone

F6          G    Am    G6                    Dm7   G6 F6
  Could you live forever?  Could you see the day?

                  Em7               Fmaj7    Em7  Dm7
Did you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away?

Dm7      Em7       Dm7      Em7
Get along            Get along Kid Charlemagne

Dm7     Em7                F7    G7     C7#9
 Get along Kid Charlemagne

Am                           G6
   Now your patrons have all left you in the red

     F6/9                                     Bb13
Your low rent friends are dead. This life can be very strange

Am                             G6
  All those day-glo freaks who used to paint their face

        F6/9                                Bb13
They've joined the human race, some things will never change

F6         G       Am     G6               Dm7    G6 F6
  Son, you were mistaken       You are obsolete

                Em7              Fmaj7   Em7  Dm7
look at all the white men on the street

Dm7      Em7       Dm7      Em7
Get along            Get along Kid Charlemagne

Dm7     Em7                F7    G7     C7#9
 Get along Kid Charlemagne

Am                              G6
  Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail

      F6/9                                      Bb13
Those test tubes and the scale, just get it all out of here

Am                       G6
 Is there gas in the car?  Yes, there's gas in the car

F6/9            Bb13
  I think the people down the hall know who you are

F6        G        Am    G6                 Dm7   G6 F6
  Careful what you carry  'cause the man is wise.

                 Em7             Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
You are still an outlaw in their eyes

Dm7      Em7       Dm7      Em7
Get along            Get along Kid Charlemagne

Dm7     Em7                F7    G7     C7#9
 Get along Kid Charlemagne
