[Intro 1]
[Em][G][C][B][G][Em][A][B]
[Em][E][B][G][B][Em][B]
[G]
[E]Well

[Verse 1]
this gigolo's jump[Em]ing salty,
[F#]ain't no [G]trade out on [C]the streets,[B]
[E]Half past [F#]the unlucky,
and the hawk's a front- row [B]seat
Dressed in full [Em]orchestra[E]tion,
stage- door [Em]Johnny's [G]got to [F#]pay,
An[C#]d se[C]nt him hom[F#]e ta[B]lking 'b[Bb]out the one
[Em]that got away[E]
Could have been [Em]on Easy [G]Street,
[C]could have been a wheel,
[B]With iro[G]ns in the fire and all
them business [B]deals
But the last [E]of the big- [F#]time [G]losers shouted
[B]before [C]he drove [B]away,
"I'll be right back,
as [F#]soon as I [F]crack [B]the one that got [Em]away"[G]
[Em]Well, the [D]ambulance [G]drivers,
they don't give a [F#]shit,
They [B]just want to [C]get off [F]work, and
[Em]The short [G]stop and the vic[F#]tim are
already gone [C]berserk[F]
[B]And the shroud- [E]tail[Em]or measures
[G]him for a [C#]deep- six [C]holi[F#]day,
[B]The stiff [F]is froze, the [C]case is [B]closed on the one that got [F#]away[B][F#][Em]
[C#][B][Em][F#][C#][F#][C][B][F][E][B]
[E][F#][C][B][G][C][B][Em][A][Em]
[B]Now [E]Jim[F#] Crow's directing tra[C#]ffic with
[F#]them cemetery [B]blues,
With them pecu[F#]liar- look[Em]ing trouser[C#]s,
them [F#]old Itali[C#]an shoes[B]
[Bb]And a wooden kim[F#]ono that was a[G]ll ready
[F#]to drop in San [B]Francisco Bay
But he's [F#]mumbling [B]something all
about the [F]one that got [C]away
[G]And Costello [Em]was the champion[B]
[E]at the St.[F#] Moritz [B]Hotel,
And the best this side of Fairfax,
reliable sources tell
But his reputation [F#]is at l[E]arge,
and [Em]he's at Ben [A]Frank's [G]every [B]day,[C]
[B]Waiting [C#]for the one [D#]that got away[E][A]
He [E]got a [Em]snakeskin [E]spo[Em]rtshirt, and
he [B]looks like [F#]Vin cent P[B]rice,
[F#]With a little [G]piece of chick[Em]en,
[G]an d he's carving off a [C]slice
[B]Someone tip[Em]ped her off[G],
and [Em]she'll be doing [Bb]a Houdin[B]i now any [F#]day[B]
[F]She [B]shook his hustle, and a Greyhound
bus'll take the one that got away
[E]Well, Andre's at [Em]the pian[C#]o behind
[F#]the [B]Ivar in the sewers,
With a buck a shot for pop [C#]tunes,
and a [C]fin for [B]guided tours
He [E]could- a been in [F#]"Casablan[G]ca",
he [B]stood in line out [F#]there all [B]day
Now [F#]he's spilling [C]whiskey and [F]learning song[B]s about a one that [A]got away[G][F][E][F#]
[G][F#][G][A][Bb][B][C#][D#][E][F#][G][A][Bb][B]
[E][D][A][C][F#][B][F][C][F][Em][E]
[Em]Well I've [E]lost my eq[Em]uilibr[G]ium and my
[F#]car keys [B]and my pride,
The tattoo [Em]par lor's w[F#]arm,
and so I hustle there [B]inside
[E]And the grinding off the buzz- saw,
[C#]"What you want [C]that thing to [F#]say?"
[B]I says, "Just don[G]'t mis[C]spell her nam[B]e, bud[D#]dy, she's the one[Em] that got[G] away"[F#]
