E
Going down a dirty inner city side road
    A           ( Em6 A6/E A Em6 A6/E A )
I plotted.
E
Madness passed me by, she smiled: "hi!"
    A           ( Em6 A6/E A Em6 A6/E A )
I nodded
E                       B7
Looked up as the sky began to cry
    E
She shot it.

E                         A
Met a girl from Dearborn, early six o'clock this morn
E               ( E E7 E ) 2x
A cold fact
A
Asked about her bag, suburbia's such a drag
    E           ( E E7 E ) (E Em E)
Won't go back

        G                  D     A   E (E Em E)
'Cause Papa don't allow no new ideas here
    G                             D         A       E (E Em E)
And now he sees the news, but the picture's not too clear.

A
Mama, Papa, stop
A
Treasure what you got
A
Soon you may be caught
E                (E Em E)
Without it.

A
The curfew's set for eight
A
Will it ever all be straight
E                (E Em E)
I doubt it.

(E Em E)

E                       A
7 jealous fools playing by her rules
        E               ( E E7 E ) 2x
Can't believe her.
A
He feels so in between, can't break the scene
         E              ( E E7 E ) 2x
It would grieve her
E                               B7
And that's the reason why he must cry
            E           (E Em E)
He'll never leave her.

E
Crooked children, yellow chalk
A
Writing on the concrete walk
      E          ( E E7 E ) (E Em E)
Their King died
A
Drinking from a Judas cup, looking down but seeing up
        E        ( E E7 E ) (E Em E)
Sweet red wine

        G                  D     A   E
'Cause Papa don't allow no new ideas here
    G                               D           A         E
And now you hear the music, but the words don't sound too clear.

A
Mama, Papa, stop.
A
Treasure what you got
A
Soon you may be caught
E                (E Em E)
Without it.

A
The curfew's set for eight
A
Will it ever all be straight
E                (E Em E)
I doubt it.

E
Going down a dusty, Georgian side road
    A           ( Em6 A6/E A Em6 A6/E A )
I wonder
    E
The wind splashed in my face
    B7
Can smell a trace
    E
Of thunder

( E E7 E )
