[A]
[G] [F#m] [G] [A]
[G] [F#m] [D] [A] Pills and [E] powders, baby, powders and [F#m] pills.
We slept the night [D] last night in Beverly [Am] Hills.
This chick she [G] looked just like a Beverly [F#m] Sills.
We got killed.
[G] [A] Tied some skirts, baby, skirts and [F#m] tights.
We used to [D] shake it up and shake her [A] highs.
This chick she [G] looked just like a party [F#m] smite.
She seemed shaky [D] but nice.
[E]
She saw my name's [A] rectangle baby, people call me the chick.
[E]
I got [G#] some hazardous [A] chemicals, the top [E] around of the window.
She said my name's Robbie [A] Robertson but people call me [E] Robo.
I blew it right and flew right in to ingest you.
[A] I came right over the counter just to kiss you.
I came right over the counter just to kiss you.
Ginger [Am] and Jack and four or [F#m] five feminites.
[D] Psycho eyes and a [Am] stovepipe hat.
Array [G] of life and tight white rayon [F#m] slats.
We got [D] cracked.
[A] Shoes [E] and socks, baby, socks [F#m] and shoes.
We slept [D] the night last night in [Am] Newport News.
This chick [G] she looked just like Elizabeth's [F#m] shoe.
We got [D] bruised.

[A] I survived the 80s one time already.
[G] I [F#m] [G] don't normally call it [Am] all that fondly.
[G] [F#m] [D] Home steady.
It was a blockbuster summer.
Moving [F] pictures got us through to [D] September.
They made a movie about me and you.
[Gm] And they made it half new and half [G] true.
It was a blood sucking summer.
I spent half the time [F] trying to get paid for my [D] savior.
Swishing through the city center.
I [F] did a couple favors to these [G] guys for a little time.
Tuscan Raiders.
