_ _ [G] _ Down in the _
[Bm] cellar in the [E] boho _ _ [F#m] _
zone
[Em] _ _ I went looking for [A] some _ sweet _ _ inspiration
_ _ Oh [D] well, _ just [Bm] another [E] hard [F#m] time _ [Em] band
_ _ _ With [D] negro _ _ _ affectations _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ I [A] was hopeful _ [G] in rooms [D] like this
[G] _ When [A] I _ [D]
was working [Em] _ _ [A] cheap
[Em] _
_ It's an [D] _ old _ _ [Bm] romance, the [E] boho _ [D]
dance
_ [G] _ [Em] _ It _ [D]
hasn't gone to sleep
[G] _ _ [A] _
But [Cm] _ _ _ even _ on the [C] scaffold _ _
_ _ [A] The cleaner's _ [D]
press was in [G] [A] my _ _ _ [Em] _
jeans
[D] _ _ _ And any [Bm] eye for [C#m] _ [Bm] detail _ caught [G] a little lace _ _
Along the _ _ seams _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And you were [Bm] in the [E] parking [D]
lot
_ _ _ Subterranean _ _ by your own _ design _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Virtue of [Bm] your _ [C#m] style _
[D] inscribed
_ [Em] On your _ [G] contempt _ _ for mine _
[Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ Jesus [A] was a bad guy, he [G] was rich in [Bm] grace
_ _ [G] And [A] Solomon [Bm] kept his head [Em] in all his [A] _ glory _
[D] _ _ Just _ at some steps [Bm] outside the _ [C#m] boho [D] _
_ dance
_ _ I have a _ fascination [G] for me
[A] _
_ _ [G] _ Camera _ _ _ pans, [C] the [F] cocktail [C] hour
_ [G] Behind a _ [A] blind [Bm] _
of [G] potted [A] _ _ palms _
_ _ [D] _ And finds a lady [Bm] in a [C#m] Paris _ [D] _ _
dress
_ _ _ [A] With runs [Dm] in her _ _ _ nylons
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D#m] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D#m] _

_ _ _ [F#] _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ You read those [Bm] books for luxury
[D] _
_ Comes as a guest _ _ to take a _ slave
_ _ _ _ _ Books where artists in noble _ [A] poverty
[Bm] _
_ Go [D] like _ virgins to the grave _ _ _ _
_ [G] Don't _ _ _ [A] you get sensitive [G] on _ me _
Cause I [D] know _ you're just [G] too [A] _ proud _ _
_ _ [G] _ [D] You _ couldn't step [Bm] outside [C#m] the [Bm] boho dance now
[Em] _ _ _ Even [G]
if good fortune _ allowed
[E] _ _
_ [C] Like [G] a priest with a _ [C] _ pornographic _ watch _
Looking [G] in _ [A] longing [Bm] _ _
[G] on the [A] slide _ _ _
_ [D] Sure _ it's stricken [Bm] from your _ [C#m] uniform
[Bm] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [G] But you can't get it out of your _ _ [C#m] eyes _ _
[G] _ _ _ Nothing is [C] _ _
_ [F] capsulized [C] in me _
[G] On [A] either _ [Bm] side _ [G]
of _ [A] town
[Am] _ _ _
[D] The _ _ _ streets were [Bm] never really _ [C#m] mine
[Bm] _ _ _ [G]
Not mine, [D] _ not mine, _ these glamour _ _ [Dm] _ gowns
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _
