[Eb] [A] [Am] While the music [G] played you walked by candlelight
[C] Those sentences were nice
[D] You were the best in town
[Am] Just by chance you [G] crossed the dam with the girl
[C] You turned it on the world
[Bb] That's when you turned [Ab] the world [G] around
Did you feel [C] like Jesus?
[Em] Did you [F] [Em] realize
[Dm] That you [G] were a champion [C] in their [Em] eyes?
[C]
[Eb] [A] [Am] On the hill the stuff [G] was laced with [Em] kerosene
[C] But yours was killin' clean
[Gm]
Everyone [Ab] stopped to stare at you, Technicolor [Am] motorboat
[Dm] Every [Am] airframe [Em] had your number on the wall
[Dm] You must have had it all
[Ab] But early on in there [G] and you thought alone
Could you live [C] [Am] forever?
[Em] Could you [F] see the day?
[Em]
[F] Could you feel [G] your whole [C] world fall [Em] apart [Am] and fade away?

[G] Get it on, [F] [A] Kishanomé!
[B] [C]
[Am]
Now your patron [G] Cabo left [Em] you in the red
[C] Your low rent friends are dead
This [Gm] life can [Ab] be very [D] strange
[Am] [Dm] All those Negro [Em] freaks who used to paint the face
[Dm] They [C] joined the human race
[D] Some things will never [G] change
[C] [G] And you are [Am] mistaken
[Em] You [F] are odd to [G] me
[Dm] Look at all [Em] the white [C] men on the [Am] street
[G] Get it on!
[F] [Em] Get it on, [C] Kishanomé!

[C] Just get [F] it all [Bb] out of here
[Ab] [Am] Get back out in the [Em] car
Get this guy in the [C] car
[Gm] I think the people [Ab] down the hall know who you [F] are
[G] Careful what [Am] you [G] carry
Life is mad [F] and [G] wild
[Dm] You are still [Em] an outlaw in their [C] eyes
[F] Get [G] it [C] on!
