Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Guitar 1

Cmaj7 G (x2) then guitar 2 comes in

*Note: at the point where the chord is Cmaj7-C, strum the Cmaj7

chord once then hammer on the 1 on the B string immediately.

Basically, you'll be strumming the C chord, then lift of the B

string C for one strum, then hold it again. If you listen to

the song, you can kind of tell.

 In matching blue raincoats, our shoes were our showboats

 we kicked around

 From stairway to station, we made a sensation

 with the gadabout crowd

 And oh what a bargain, we're two easy targets

 For the old men at the off-tracks

 Who've paid in palaver and crumpled old dollars

 Which we squirreled away

 In our rat-trap hotel by the freeway

 And we slept in Sundays

 Your parents were anxious, your cool was contagious

 At the old school

 You left without leaving a note for your grieving

 Sweet mother while your brother was so cruel

 And here in the alleys your spirits were rallied

 As you learned quick to make a fast buck

 In bathrooms and ballrooms, on dumpsters and heirlooms

 We bit our tongues

 Sucked our lips into our lungs 'til we were falling

 Such was our calling

 And here in our hollow we fused like a family

 But I will not mourn for you

 So take up your makeup and pocket your pills away

 We're kings among runaways

 On the bus mall

 We're down on the bus mall

Intro x2

Among all the urchins and old chinese merchants

 Of the old town

 We reigned at the pool hall with one iron cue ball

 And we never let the bastards get us down

 And we laughed off the quick tricks, the old men with limp dicks

 On the colonnades of the waterfront park

 As four in the morning came on cold and boring

 We huddled close

 In the bus stop enclosure enfolding

 Our hands tightly holding

 But here in our hollow we fused like a family

 But I will not mourn for you

 So take up your makeup and pocket your pills away

 We're kings among runaways

 On the bus mall

 We're down on the bus mall

 We're down on the bus mall (At this point, Guitar 2 comes in with Intro riff)

Down on the bus mall

Ohhhh
