Nghệ sĩ: Joan Baez
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
At night in the safety of shadows and numbers
ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Seeking some turf on which nothing encumbers
ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
The buying and selling of casual looks
ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Stuff that gets printed in x-rated books
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Your mother might have tried to understand
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
When you were hardly your daddy's little man
ch]Fmaj7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And you gave up saluting the chief
ch]G7sus4[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Dm/C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
To find yourself some relief
ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Finely plucked eyebrows and skin of satin
ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Smiling seductive and endlessly Latin
ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Olympic body on dancing feet
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Perfume thickening the air like heat
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
A transient star of gay bar fame
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You quit your job and changed your name
ch]Fmaj7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And you're nearly beyond belief
ch]G7sus4[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Dm/C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
As you hunt down a little relief
ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
The seven foot black with the emerald ring
ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Broke up a fight without saying a thing
ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
As the cops cruised by wanting one more chance
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
To send Jimmy Baldwin back over to France
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And a trucker with kids and a wife
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Prefers to spend half of his life
ch]Fmaj7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
In early Bohemian motif
ch]G7sus4[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Dm/C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Playing pool and getting relief
ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
My favorite couple was looking so fine
ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Dancing in rhythm and laughing in rhyme
ch]Dm7[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
In the light of the jukebox all yellow and blue
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Holding each other as young lovers do
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
To me they will always remain
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Unshamed, untamed, and unblamed
ch]Fmaj7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The altar boy and the thief
ch]G7sus4[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Dm/C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Grabbing themselves some relief
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The altar boy and the thief
ch]G7sus4[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Catching a little relief
