Key: E
Introduction: C#m A B Abm A
E E4
All the late night bargains have been struck
B9 A/C# B/D# D#/F
Between the satin beaus and their belles
F#m
And prehistoric garbage trucks
D#º
Have the city to themselves
E E4
Echoes roars dinosaurs
B9 A/C# B/D# D#/F
They're all doing the monster mash
F#m
And most of the taxis and the whores
D#º
Are only taking calls for cash
A B9
I don't know how it happened
E A
It all took place so quick
E E4E B9 A/C# B/D#
But all I can do is hand it to you
B/D#
And your latest trick
E E4
My door was standing open
B9 A/C# B/D# D#/F
Security was laid back and lax
F#m
But it was only my heart got broken
D#º
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
E E4
You played robbery with insolence
B9 A/C# B/D# D#/F
And I played the blues on twelve bars down on Lover's Lane
F#m
And you never did have the intellegence to use
D#º
The twelve keys hanging off my chain
A B9
I don't know how it happened
E A
It all took place so quick
E E4E B9 A/C# B/D#
But all I can do is hand it to you
B/D#
And your latest trick
E E4
Now it's past last call for alcohol
B9 A/C# B/D# D#/F
Past recall has been here and gone
F#m
The landlord finally paid us off
D#º
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
E E4
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
B9 A/C# B/D# D#/F
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
F#m
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
D#º
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
A B9
I don't know how it happened
E A
It all took place so quick
E E4E B9 A/C# B/D#
But all I can do is hand it to you
B/D#
And your latest trick
F# B AbA
