[Verse 1]
F#m And I was all night long on the broken glass Bm Livin' in a medicine chest C# Mediteromanian hotel back F#m N.C. Sprawled across a roll top desk
[Verse 2]
F#m The monkey rode the blade on an overhead fan Bm They paint the donkey blue if you pay C# I got a telephone call from Istanbul F#m N.C. My baby's coming home today
[Chorus]
Bm7 Will you sell me one of those if I shave my head E Get me out of town is what Fireball said A Never trust a man in a blue trench coat F#m Never drive a car when you're dead Bm Saturday's a festival, Friday's a gem C# Dye your hair yellow and raise your hem F#m Follow me to Beulah's on Dry Creek Road Bm C# N.C. I got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed

[Verse 3]
F#m Well, take me down to buy a tux on Red Rose Bear Bm I got to cut a hole in the day C# I got a telephone call from Istanbul F#m N.C. My baby's coming home today
[Chorus]
Bm7 Sell me one of those if I shave my head E Get me out of town is what Fireball said A Never trust a man in a blue trench coat F#m Never drive a car when you're dead Bm Saturday's a festival, Friday's a gem C# Dye your hair yellow and raise your hem F#m Follow me to Beulah's on Dry Creek Road Bm C# N.C.
