[G] [C]
[D] [F]
[G] [F] [G]
[F#m] [D]
[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]
[G] [C]
[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]

[F] [G] [F] [G]
