He came with his [G#] friends in a caravan _ to witness the governor [A] fall. _ _ _
[E] Sat by himself [G#] [E] on a cool patch of [A] grass while the rest stood like bricks in [B] a wall. _ _
[C#m] The stage looked like [A] a vending machine, [G#] the singer a black [C#m] Barbie doll. _
[E] But it was well lit and [A] well managed [E]
so no property _ [A] would be _ damaged.
[E] Until his daughter _ [B] took full [A] advantage [E] of it all. _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Talked to a girl with cologne and pin [F#] eyes [G#] who said she had jewelry to [A] sell. _ _
[Em] First he said no thanks, then he realized [A] that he wasn't feeling [B] that well. _
[C#m] So the boy she [A] held looked like pieces of sky [G#] and the garland like [C#m] teardrops from hell. _
[E] She offered _ [A] him a necklace _ [E] and he wanted _ [A] to accept it.
[E] But he wouldn't know, [B] too expensive.
[A] _
[E] He could tell _ _ _ _ that she [A] meant quite [E] a lot. _
[A] _ What have you [E] _ got [F#m] to lose, _ _ _ _ [A] to lose?

[E] _ _ _ [F#] _ [E] _ _ _
he never came back and the curfew had passed, [G#] his friends searched the [A] fairgrounds for clues. _
[E] A security guard with a maniacal laugh said [A] it's always the leader [B] he looks. _
[C#m] Finally turned up [A] in the broad light of day [G#] with a black eye as big [C#m] as the moon. _
[E] They all asked him [A] what had happened, [E] what was the real or who.
[A] I'll imagine [E] you wonder if half of the [B] _ [A] abandonment [E] soaks _ _ _ _ the [A] lips in.
_ _ [E] Why not? _
[A] _ I do what [E] I _ _ _
