Standard (EADGBE)

 hey let them follow you down

 way undergound, wind and he`s bound

 bound to follow you down

 just a deadbeat, right off the street

 bound to follow you down

 though ball rooms and smelly bordellos

 and dressing rooms filled with parasites

 on stage, the band has got problems

 theyre a bag of nerves on first nights

 he aint tied down to no home town

yeh and you thought he was reckless

you think hes bad, he thinks youre mad

yeh, and the guitar player looks reckless

Chorus

 well his coat is torn and frayed

 and its seen much better days

 just as long as the guitar plays

 let ity steal your heart away

 Joes got a cough, sounds kind of rough

 yeh, got the codine to fix it

 Doctor prescribes drugstore supplies

 who`s gonna help him to kick it

repeat chorus
