1st verse:

new coat of paint in this lonesome old town

C#m7 F#7 A7 G#7sus4 G#7

set 'em up, we'll be knocking 'em down

C#m7 F#7 A7 G#7sus4

you'll wear a dress, baby, I'll wear a tie

Coda: Intro 4 times with lots of variations.

2nd verse:

all our soribbled love dreams are lost or trown away

here amidst a shuffle on a overthrowing day

our love needs a transfusion, let's shot it full of wine

fishing for a good time, start throwing in your line

Repeat 1st verse and then fade away with the intro

I just happened to have these, I didn t and couldn t transcribe them myself...
