intro:  Dsus D, Am G

D                                          F#m                      G
It’s a slow motion night on the hot city lights, past time
                                    A
when the good folks are snoring in bed.
        D                                   F#m
On a loose jointed cruise to recover your blues, with 
Bm                A                        G D A
illegal notions alive, alive in your head.
             D                                            F#m
You are back from some war that you’ve been fighting for.
          G                                    A
Some old blue blood bastart in a dark pinstripe 
                     D                                         F#m
suit.  And the word from your loins has your mind in your
                       Bm
groin. And your back pocket burning with 
A                             G D D7
blood. Blood, money loot.
             G                                   F#m
And you walk past the glow of the flicker picture show.
                 Bm                             A
Where the raincoat men wait for a child to come 
                   G                                           F#m
by.  And the women in door ways who have nothing to
                         Bm                             A
say. Cause your money is talking to the ones that 
                G D A
you would try.
