[Intro]
F Fm C (x2)
[Verse 1]
C
They used to call it Sin City
G C C7
Now it's gone way past that
F
Painting the town and then burning it down
G G7
Now even that's old hat
C Em
Now there's a choir of angels at the fall of Rome
G C F
Singing Ave Maria, home sweet home
[Chorus 1]
C
It's just a heathen town
Em Am C7
I hear only evil as my tongue is tightened
F Dm G7
I used to be god-fearing, now I'm so frightened
F
'Cause the devil will drag you under
F Fm C
By the sharp tailfin of your checkered cab
G
And I can't sit down
G7 C
I'm going overboard in this heathen town
[Verse 2]
C
It starts as a flirtation
G C C7
And ends up as an expensive habit
F
With one eye on her place in debtor's prison
G G7
And the other on a girl dressed as a rabbit
C Em
Now you can live forever, endure fits and starts
G C
But the only stake you cannot raise
F
Is the one driven through your heart
[Chorus 2]
C
It's just a heathen town
Em Am C7
I hear only evil as my tongue is tightened
F Dm G7
I used to be god-fearing, now I'm so frightened
F
'Cause the devil will drag you under
F Fm C
By the sharp tailfin of your checkered cab
G
And I can't sit down
G7 C
I'm going overboard in this heathen town
G
And I can't sit down
G7 F C
I'm going overboard in this heathen town
