[G]Well, [D]they packed up their viol[Dm]et
cases with the [C]finest artillery
[D]Hopped in a big black
[Dm]Studebaker,
they were act[G]ing pretty [C]scary
[G]And [D]no one talked [Dm]as they
synchron[D]ized their [Dm]watches
[D]An d drove past the [Dm]train [D]sta
[G]tion[D][G][D][A][E][G][D][A]
[C]
Well the [D]train [Dm]rolled out
with a passenger car
Filled with re[D]tired million
[Dm]aires and [C]booty
scars
[G]Two twi[Dm]tching men clutching
six guns in their
[Am]But drenched c[Dm]oats w[D]ith a [Dm]fair,
safe, -up plan
And [D]that would be
Aussie
Road
[G]And the [D]gangsters, [A]cowboys,
gypsies, [E]and [G]freewheelers
Sold [A]out their trains to be

put [C]out fire in [Dm]his eyes[C]
For the [Dm]house he was riding,
it's a [D]burglar [G]arise[D][A][E][G][D]
[A][C]
And [Dm]all through the house, they were dancing and singing,
an extended family of [D]fiddlers
[G]and magi[Dm]cians, a juggler and a chemist [D]who would
invent a po[Dm]tion to pacify all the [G]killers
For the [Dm]cap tains [E]died in the burglary
and they sold the prescription
[A]For a case of cheap red wine
[D]to a [G]traveling [A]salesman
[D]In a [Dm]three -wheeled jalopy he
[D]bought and sold [Dm]potions
To the city that looked over the [D]ocean
[G]And [D]he sold the [A]last drop,
it [E]was big with the rich [G]kids
[D]To [Dm]the c[A]ity,
would be [C]crawling with addict[G]s
In [D]back [A]rooms, dark alleys,
[E]basements and attic[G]s
Where the [D]fly is [A]trapped in the spiders
Where the [C]bats got the
[G]spiders[D][C][D][C]
An[Dm]d no one knows what's going on[C]
[Dm]But you gotta show up for
yourself at the [G]end of [C]the day
An[Dm]d nice guys don't get paid
Nice guys [D]don't get paid
[G][A][E][G][D][A]
[C]
[G]Now all the [D]hopeless [A]romantics are
[E]wearing white collars
[G]Upstanding [A]assassins,
clean [C]hands filthy dollars
[G]Har[D]d jacket [A]fanatics who kil[E]l for religion
[G]In a [D]city [A]full of addicts and [C]guns and amnesia
