F C

This old town is filled with sin

F7 Bb

It will swallow you in

F C C7

If you've got some money to burn

F C

Take it home right away

C7 F7 Bb

You've got three years to pay

F C7 F C7

But Satan is waiting his turn

F C

The scientists say

F7 Bb

It will all wash away

F C C7

But we don't believe any more

F C

Cause we've got our recruits

F7 Bb

And our green mohair suits

F C7 F F7

So please show your I.D. At the door

Bb C7 F F7

This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house

Bb F C7

It seems like this whole town's insane

Bb C7 F F7 Bb

On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door

F C7 F C7

Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain

SOLO in F around melody then Bb D7

G D7

A friend came around

G7 C

Tried to clean up this town

G D D7

His ideas made some people mad

G D

But he trusted his crowd

G7 C

So he spoke right out loud

G D7 G G7

And they lost the best friend they had

C D7 G G7

This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house

C G D7

It seems like this whole town's insane

C D G G7 C

On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door

G D7 G G7

Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain

C D G G7 C

On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door

G D7 C G

Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
