X Ray Style Cifras

[Verse 1]
E                          B
  I see a million walk the city mile
E                               B
  The ticker tape kings and the juveniles
A                            E
  Will anybody tell me which way to go
A                           F#m          A
  Will anybody come back on the C.B. radio
 
[Verse 2]
E                              B
I'm counting the stars and the telegraph poles
E                           B
And each one represents the hopes of a soul
A                               E
  You'd think that God wouldn't be so hard
A                             F#m               A
  When you see all the little children running, running in the backyard
 
[Verse 3]
E                             B
On a Mississippi gourd with a Sub-Sahran song
E                          B
Somebody is wailing in the financial district sun
A                               E
  Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
A                    F#m          A
  I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile
 
[Verse 4]
E                           B
Gonna make like Eddie on my rockabilly train
E                              B
Gonna beat out the blues on my ball and chain
A                                     E
  Oh, you can't pull a hold-up with a Be-Bop gun
A                                     F#m                    A
  There's people living now who ain't got no heart and ain't never had none
 
[Verse 5]
E                             B
Down on the border they crawl all the way
E                               B
To get a clip of living with a clean-all spray
A                                  E
  Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
A                    F#m          A
  I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile
 
[Verse 6]
E    B
E    B
A                                 E
  You can't pull a hold-up with a Be-Bop gun
A                              F#m                       A
  There's people living now, who ain't got no heart and ain't never had none
 
[Verse 7]
E                                B
I hear a payphone ringing out on murder mile
E                                B
The sucker who picks up gets his number dialed
A                                   E
  And all the sparkling waters that ever flowed
A                            F#m                A
  Could never wash down this town so clean that it glowed
 
[Verse 8]
E                       B
And I need to see in an x-ray style
E                               B
I need some rock art that don't come in a vial
A                               E
  Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
A                    F#m          A
  I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile
