Kid Charlemagne Cifras

[Intro]
 
C7#9
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am                          G6
 While the music played you worked by candle light
      F6/9                                Bb13
Those San Francisco nights, you were the best in town
Am                            G6
 Just by chance you crossed a diamond with a pearl
    F6/9                                    Bb13
You turned it on the world, that's when you turned the world around
F6         G        Am      G6            Dm7    G6 F6
  Did you feel like Jesus?     Did you realise
                Em7               Fmaj7   Em7  Dm7
That you were a champion in their eyes?

C7#9
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                          G6
  On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
    F6/9                              Bb13
But yours was kitchen clean. Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolour motorhome
Am                        G6
  Every A-frame had your number on the wall
    F6/9                              Bb13
You must have had it all. You'd go to LA on a dare and you'd go it alone
F6          G    Am    G6                    Dm7   G6 F6
  Could you live forever?  Could you see the day?
                  Em7               Fmaj7    Em7  Dm7
Did you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Dm7      Em7       Dm7      Em7
Get along            Get along Kid Charlemagne
Dm7     Em7                F7    G7     C7#9
 Get along Kid Charlemagne
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am                           G6
   Now your patrons have all left you in the red
     F6/9                                     Bb13
Your low rent friends are dead. This life can be very strange
Am                             G6
  All those day-glo freaks who used to paint their face
        F6/9                                Bb13
They've joined the human race, some things will never change
F6         G       Am     G6               Dm7    G6 F6
  Son, you were mistaken       You are obsolete
                Em7              Fmaj7   Em7  Dm7
look at all the white men on the street
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Dm7      Em7       Dm7      Em7
Get along            Get along Kid Charlemagne
Dm7     Em7                F7    G7     C7#9
 Get along Kid Charlemagne

[Verse 4]
 
Am                              G6
  Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail
      F6/9                                      Bb13
Those test tubes and the scale, just get it all out of here
Am                       G6
 Is there gas in the car?  Yes, there's gas in the car
F6/9            Bb13
  I think the people down the hall know who you are
F6        G        Am    G6                 Dm7   G6 F6
  Careful what you carry  'cause the man is wise.
                 Em7             Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
You are still an outlaw in their eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Dm7      Em7       Dm7      Em7
Get along            Get along Kid Charlemagne

 Get along Kid Charlemagne
