[E] [F#m]
[B] [F#m] I was just [D] about 19 [A]
when [D] I landed on [A] this shore with my eyes [E] big as headlights.
[A] Like the thousands and thousands who came [D] before, I was gonna [A] be something.
[C#m]
[D] Smile at the man screwing out of [A] my face [E] as I walked down over [F#m] the gangway.
I came down [D] to their city [A] [D] where I worked four millions [A] a year, built a hundred [E] houses.
[F#m] I must have pulled half a million pints [D] of beer, living under [A] suspicion.
[C#m] [D] Putting up with the hate and the fear [A] and the rise.
[E] You can see you're nothing [F#m] but a murderer.
[Bm] [A] Yeah, man, [E] we're nothing but a [F#] bunch of murderers.
[D] Say, hey, Charlie, [A] can't wait till [D] Saturday night.
[A]
Got a thirst [E] that's raging.
And no [C#m] place where we can put [D] that right.
Wash away [A] the confusion.
[C#m] Hose [D] down these flames [A] inside.
But look out.
[E] [F#m] [D] I [A] said, look out, [E] because I'll tear you with a beacon [F#m] if you cross me.
[B] [F#] [E]
[B] [F#m] Sick of watching [D] them break up.
[Am]
Every time [D] some bored brain puts [A] us down, making [E] jokes on the radio.
I guess it [C#m] helps them all drown [D] out the sound of the [A] crumbling foundations.
[C#m]
[D] And a fool can see the writings on the [A] wall.
[E] But they just don't [F#m] believe that it's happening.
[B] No, [F#m] no.
[B] [F#m] But there's a crowd [D] that says I'm all right.
[A] Say they like my turn of phrase.
Take me around [E] to their parties.
I like them dressed [C#m] all [B] monkey in a [D] cage and I play my [A] accordion.
[C#m] Oh, but [D] when the [A] wine seeps through the facade, [E] it's nothing but the same [F#] old story.
[D] Oh, [A]
[E] it's nothing but the same [F#] old story.
[D] Say, hey, Johnny, [A] can't wait till [D] Saturday night.
[A]
Got a [E] thirst that's raging.

[D] Says he'll send [A] me on the fair.
Just [E] wrote me a letter.
Making out that he's [F#m] cleaning up [D] all the two [A] cars in the [C#m] driveway.
[D] Summer house way down on the [A] Cape.
And I know [E] it picks [F#] me up in the morning.
[F#m] [B] [F#m]
Well, [D] I've been thinking about it.
[A] But [F#m] it seems so far to go.
[A] People say [E] in the winter that [C#m] you get lost underneath the [B] snow.
[D] And this is [A] Gail from my home place.
[C#m] We've been planning [D] to move back and give [A] it a try.
[E] So I never got [F#m] around to go [D] out.
