The Ballad of Michael Valentine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Michael plays [G]with stars[Baug]
[Bb]Soul Sister won'[F]t you take
[Dm]a ride in [A]his car
Late to [C]call
When you [G]wanted to be [C]all

[Verse 2]
Baby don't [G]be so [Bb]shy
Rock children [Dm]hold [A]your heads up [Dm]high
In the [A]night while I [C]try
And tell the [G]ballad of Valentine

[Verse 3]
[C]You got it bad, but you know it's true

[Verse 4]
I [C]caught up with a friend in Dallas
We took a trip to New Orleans
[Em]Those blac[Am]k- eyed ladies
[F]Won't say they're [G]sorry

[Verse 5]
We [C]fi nally caught a train to Memphis
Where everybody [Em]talks [C]the same
[Em]Those [Am]blue suede babies
[F]All know my [G]name

[Verse 6]
And I said [C]hold tight
Can't you see it's [G]hurting me
[Am]But I've[E] got t[Dm]he b[C]uzz[E]
Like [Am]Marlon Brando
[C]Michael Val[F]entine, can't we unite?

[Verse 7]
[G]
We [C]ended up in North Dakota
Although my heart's in Mexico
[Em]My[Am]
[F]All went to [G]Soho

[Verse 8]
With [C]your new suit, and your black [Em]tie
Hold [Am]on, you're just a gambling man,
all [F]proper [G]like
I [Dm]broke to the right and I [G]caught your eye
[C]Shut your mouth and [Am]wave goodbye
To[F]night, I ain't gonna let
you rain on [G]this parade

[Verse 9]
And I said [C]hold tight
Can't you see it's [G]hurting me
[Am]But I've[E] got t[Dm]he b[C]uzz[E]
Like [Am]Marlon Brando
[C]Straight faced with mis[F]ery tonight

[Verse 10]
[G]And I will not[C] lie when I say
I ain't [G]cold no more
[Am]But I've[Em] got t[Dm]he b[C]uzz[E]
Like [Am]Greta [C]Garbo
Walking forwards [F]in the sun
And I've got a [G]cold tale left to write
[Am]

[Verse 11]
Well uh [F]oh

[Outro 1]
I know he's gonna be there tonight
[C][C]
