There's a black cat down on the quayside

Am             G             F
Two young cops handing out a beating

C                             E
Know how to hurt and leave no mark

Am          G        F          Am
Down in the half-lit bar of the hotel

Am                     G    F            D   Dsus2 D
There's a call for the last round of the day

Dm                                      C  
Push back the stool, take that elevator ride

(tacet)                 G(III)(xx5433) Am
Fall in bed and kick my shoes         away

               F                   D  
Kick my shoes away, kick my shoes away

(tacet) G(III) Am
Rocks   on the road.
