When you get a bad start, you and your man have to part
I ain’t gonna just sit around and cry
And now I know, I won’t die 'cause I love him
Lady sings the blues
She’s got 'em bad, she feels so sad
But now the world will know
She’s never gonna sing 'em no more, no more
I got a feelin’ called the blues, oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
Lord I don’t know what I’ll do
All I do is sit and sigh, oh Lord
That last long day she said goodbye
Well Lord I thought I would cry
The smile in your eyes was never so sweet before –
Came down from the skies
to cry you a song.
737 comin’ out of the sky
Oh, won’t you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride?
I wanna move
Playing in a travelin’ band, yeah
Well, I’m flying ‘cross the land, trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelin’ band
Well, we were just another band out of Boston
On the road to try to make ends meet
Playin’ all the bars, sleepin’ in our cars
And we practiced right on out in the street
Callin’ out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer’s here and the time is right
For dancin’ in the streets
You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, digging the Dancing Queen
Playing with the queen of hearts
Knowing it ain’t really smart
The joker ain’t the only fool
Who’ll do anything for you
Don’t you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She’ll beat you if she’s able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can’t get
C
Jack O’ Diamonds Jack O’ Diamonds and I know you of old
G7 C
You’ve robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold
It’s a whiskey you villain you’ve been my downfall
G7 C
You’ve kicked me you’ve cuffed me but I loves you for all
(chords are optional)
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee
I’m sure you’re not protected, for it’s plain to see
The Diamond Dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
Hunt you to the ground they will,
mannequins with kill appeal
And I was here to please
I’m even on my knees
Makin’ love to whoever I please
I gotta do it my way
Or no way at all
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Give it to me, baby, huh huh, huh huh
Give it to me, baby, huh huh, huh huh
Give it to me, baby, huh huh, huh huh
And all the girlies say I’m pretty fly for a white guy
I ride my bike, I roller skate, don’t drive no car
Don’t go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don’t drive I been all round the world
Some people think I done all right for a girl
But I think that you’re wild
Inside me is some child
Wild thing, I think you move me
But I wanna know for sure
So come on and hold me tight…
You move me
Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
