Kid Charlemagne

Am G6

1. While the music played you worked by candle light

Those San Fransisco nights, they were the best in town

Am G6

Just by chance you crossed a diamond with a pearl

You turned it on the world, that's when you turned the world around

Did you feel like Jesus Did you realise

Em7 Fmaj7

That you were a champion in their eyes ?

Em7 Dm7

2. On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene

But yours was kitchen clean

Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolour motorhome

Every A-frame had your number on the wall

You must have had it all

You'd go to LA on a dare and you'd go it alone

Could you live forever

Could you see the day

Did you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away

Dm7 Em7

R: Get along

Dm7 Em7

Get along Kid Charlemagne

Dm7 Em7 F7

Get along Kid Charlemagne

G7 C7

3. Now your patrons have all left you in the red

Your low rent friends are dead

This life can be very strange

All those day-glo freaks who used to paint their face

They've joined the human race, some things will never change

Son you were mistaken

You are obsolete, look at all the white men on the street

4. Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail

Those test tubes and the scales, just get it all out of here

Is there gas in the car ?

Yes there's gas in the car

I think the people down the hall know who you are

Careful what you carry

Cause the man is wise

You are still an outlaw in their eyes

R:
