Intro: notes picked out of A and Asus4
|
|
A (throughout)
|
Shake that cocktail and follow the road
|
The doors are locked and the windows are closed
|
There's only one way to the American Dream
|
They're awaiting your arrival in a big limousine
|
|
CHORUS
|
E E E
|
In the back of a, black... in the back of a, black..In the back of a, black...
|
A
|
Lincoln Continental, Lincoln Continental Lincoln Continental,
|
E
|
black black, Lincoln Continental black black, Lincoln Continental,
|
E
|
black black, Lincoln Continental (then repeat intro)
|
|
They take you to dinner and you eat off the plate
|
And you don't taste the poison until it's too late
|
And seven years later something is funny
|
Is It the black upholstery or the dirty money?
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS then instrumental bridge (F G Am C) and intro var.
|
|
The rugs all fake made of persian jute
|
And the chauffeur got the job by actin' cute
|
He's watching the speedometer and counting your money
|
And the big white lines make your heart beat funny
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS then instrumental intro and shuffle and then fade
|
