Start Jamming...
[D] [E] [A]
Well, on the outskirt of town there's a little nice spot.
Ben drops in about five o'clock.
Pull off his coat, said the night is short.
He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quaff and hollered,
Rave on, children, I'm with you.
Rave on, cats, he cried.
It's almost dawn and the cops are gone.
[E] Let's all get decked, [A] shipwrecked.
Out Ben got happy and he started raving.
He jerked out his razor, but he wasn't shaking.
And all the cats knew to jump and hop,
For he was born and raised in a butcher shop.
He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you.
Rave on, cats, he cried.
[A] It's almost dawn and [C] the cops are gone.
Let's all [A] get decked, shipwrecked.
[Am]
[Eb] [Am] [A]
The cops heard Ben when he started to shout.
They all ran in to see what it was about.
And I heard him holler when they let him away.
He turned his head and this is what he had to say.
He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you.
Rave on, cats, he cried.
It's almost dawn and the cops are [Em] gone.
Let's all get decked, [C] shipwrecked.
Out [Am]
[A] [Cm] [A]
Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw.
He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law.
And through the black crossbar he tossed a note to his dick.
Said it ain't my [E] fault, hun, that I'm in here.
But I'm Rave with you.
Rave on, cats, he cried.
It's almost [D] dawn and the cops ain't [E] gone.
And I've [A] been decked and fried.
[E] [A]
