E A [x4]

E
Saturday night I was making my way
                         A
I was making my way back home
                E        A
Walking on the broken bottles
                  B       A
Swinging from the streetlights
         E     A
Swinging home

B                             A        E 
Walking along with spring in my bended knee
A            B              A
Walking on a leather side walk
                B    A
Feeling like a cowboy
       E
Riding on

        B
And the moon...
        A
And the moon...
        B
And the moon...
        A               E
And the moon is smiling down


E A [x2]

E
A tip of the hat and a square of the chin
                    A
To the corner milky whites
             E           A
Waiting on a city streetlight
                B    A
Grazing on the asphalt
        E    A
Hanging out

B                                  A         E  
A burning machine like a red hot iron wagon wheel
A                   B          A
A wild horse in the city traffic
               B      A          E
Screaming out "CAR CRASH" in my ear

        B
And the moon...
        A
And the moon...
        B
And the moon...
        A               E
And the moon is smiling down

E A [x2]

E
Broken glass from the tin can candy
                  A
The tin can candy red
                 E             A
Blue smoke and a cold sweat shower
               B   A           E     A
Screaming out "SILENCE" in the crowd

B                         A        E
Nobody moves because nobody nobody can
A                 B       A
Stand back on the city corner
            B     A              E
Everybody's wondering if they're dead

  B                           A      E
A hollering whoop from a redhead ambulance
A               B        A
Take off like a magic carpet
            B    A             E
Rub the red lantern and make a wish

        B
And the moon...
        A
And the moon...
        B
And the moon...
        A               E
And the moon is smiling down
