Am                          G6
 While the music played you worked by candle light

      F6/9                                Bb13
Those San Fransisco nights, they 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    Em7 Dm7
  Did you feel like Jesus      Did you realise

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

C7#9 VERSE 2: -------- On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene But yours was kitchen clean Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolour motorhome Every A-frame had your number on the wall You must have had it all You'd go to LA on a dare and you'd go it alone Could you live forever Could you see the day Did you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away CHORUS : ---------

Dm7      Em7       Dm7      Em7
Get along            Get along Kid Charlemagne

Dm7     Em7                F7    G7     C7
 Get along Kid Charlemagne

VERSE 3: -------- Now your patrons have all left you in the red Your low rent friends are dead This life can be very strange All those day-glo freaks who used to paint their face They've joined the human race, some things will never change Son you were mistaken You are obsolete, look at all the white men on the street CHORUS ------ INSTRUMENTAL ------------- E7#9 A7 Dm7 F/C B7 E7 Am G6 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 B7 Em7 D6 Cmaj7 Em7 D6/E Am G6 F6/9 Bb13 F G Am G6 Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 C7#9 VERSE 4: -------- Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail Those test tubes and the scales, just get it all out of here Is there gas in the car ? Yes there's gas in the car I think the people down the hall know who you are Careful what you carry Cause the man is wise You are still an outlaw in their eyes CHORUS ------ OUTTRO: ------- Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 Cmaj7 Em7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 Cmaj7 Em7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 Cmaj7 Em7 ...etc - keep repeating Shapes: A=10, B=11 EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE x3234x x07555 3x5453 x87788 6x6788 C7#9 Am G6 F6/9 Bb13 EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE 1x3231 3x5433 x57565 x79787 x8a9a8 F6 G Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7 EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE x8786x xa9a8x xxa9b8 07678x 5x56xx F7 G7 C7 E7#9 A7 EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE 8xaaax 8a8988 x79797 x57777 x35453 F/C B7 E7 D6 Cmaj7 EADGBE EADGBE x77777 133211 D6/E F Any questions,queries or suggestions - please let me know !
