[Intro 1]
[Cm][C][Cm]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
While the music played, [G]you worked
by candlelight
Those [F]San Francisco [Dm]nights
[C]You were the be[Bb]st in[Am] town
Just by chance you crossed the dia
[G]mond with the pearl
[F]You turned it on [Dm]the world
[Am]That's [Bb]when you turned
the world [G]around[Em][F]
[G](Did you feel like

[Verse 2]
[Am]Jesu[G]s?)
Did you real[Dm]ize
[G]That you were [Em]a champion in
their eyes?
[C][Cm][Am]

[Verse 3]
On the hill the stuff was
[G]laced with kerosene
But [F]yours was kitchen-clean
Everyone Everyone [Bb]stopped to stare
at your technicolor motor [Am]home
Every A-Frame had had your
num[G]ber on the wall
You must have had [F]it [Dm]all
[C]You'd go [Bb]to L.A. on a [G]dare
and you'd [Em]go i[G]t alone

[Verse 4]
[Am](Could you live [G]forever?)
Could you see [Dm]the day?
Could you feel your whole [Em]world
fall [F]apart [Dm]and fade away?
Get [Em]along,

[Verse 5]
[Dm]get along,
[Em]Kid [Dm]Charlemagne
Get [Em]along, Kid Charlemag[F]ne[G]
[C]

[Verse 6]
[Am]
Now your patrons have
[G]all left you in the red
Your low-rent [F]friends friends are dead
[Dm]This life can be very [Bb]stra[Am]nge
All those Day-Glo freaks freaks
[G]who used to paint the face
They've [F]joined the human race
[C]Som[F]e things wil[Bb]l never cha[G]nge[Em][F]
[G](Son, you were

[Verse 7]
[Am]mist[G]aken)
You are obsolete
[Dm]Look[G] at [Dm]all the white[Em]
men on [F]the street[Em][Dm]
Get [Em]along,

[Verse 8]
[Dm]get along,
[Em]Kid [Dm]Charlemagne

Clean this mess up else [G]we'll
all end up in jail
Those test [F]tubes and the scale
Just get it all [Bb]out [Am]of here
Is there gas in the [G]car?

[G](Careful what you carry)
