A D A
The moon hung like a shadow on a rung over Shanghai
F#m E
Them soldier boys were returning home screaming "Banzai"
A
And the kids are still playing their game
A F#m
Getting hustled and rustled out in the rain
Bm A E
As I sat inside listening to the broadcast
A E A
Oh, save my soul, sweet rock and roll, 'cause I'm sinkin' fast
And then the band played
A D A
Now the legendary chaplain of the fighting 51st was getting ready to go
F#m E
I said, "Padre, do you know a cheap virgin who likes to tango?"
A F#m
He said, "You can try Linda Lee", around the corner and across the sea
Bm A E
Word is out, word is out she's fast
A E A
Well, blow me down now, Linda, 'cause I'm sinkin' fast
F#m E
Yes, and them cats are sure getting fat down in the train yard
Bm A
And the sandman brings them dreams to ship out in the boxcars
Bm F#m
The union says, "Hold." Break out the dice, break out the gold
D E
It's lunchtime at last
A E
And old big Mama said, "George Raft's tonight on the late show"
D E
She sits straddling a kitchen chair, really gung-ho
F#m Bm
She shivers with chills, wet with slot car thrills
A E
Hypnotically lost in the glass
G E
And we all sigh with the sunrise
E
As we watch the credits pass
A D A
And then the morning cloak fell down like a hoax over Sleepy Town
F#m E
And garbage truck vigilantes out making the last rounds
Bm F#m
The inheritor he sipped his beer and poked cute fun of the queer
D E
And threatened to kick his ass
One, two, three, ow!
A E
And the boys in the band sang (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho)
A F#m
That's right (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho)
A E
I'm so excited (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho)
A F#m
Everybody (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho)
A E
And the band played (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho)
A F#m
Everybody (Whoa whoa whoa wo-whoa)
