[Intro]
D E7 F#m B7
C#7 C#7#5 F#m

[Verse 1]
F#m C#7 F#m D
I remember his hat tilted forward
F#m C#7 F#m D
His glasses are folded in his vest
D E7 F#m B7 C#7
And he seems like the kind of man who beats his horses
C#7#5 F#m
Or the dancers who work at a bar

[Verse 2]
F#m C#7 F#m D
We saw on the screen his face for a moment
F#m C#7 F#m D
No time to plead or even ask why
D E7 F#m B7 C#7
Jack Ru--by appears from out of nowhere
C#7#5 F#m
Then disappears in broad daylight

[Verse 3]
F#m C#7 F#m D
'Cause he's a friend of that cloven-hoofed gangster the devil
F#m C#7 F#m D
He's been seen with the sheriff and the police
D E7 F#m
Drinking whiskey and water after hours, saying
B7 C#7 C#7#5 F#m
"Let's do business, boys. The drinks are on me."

[Verse 4]
F#m C#7 F#m D
So draw the box along quickly
F#m C#7 F#m D
Avert your eyes with shame
D E7 F#m
Let us stand and speak of the weather
B7 C#7 C#7#5 F#m
And pretend nothing ever happened on that day

[Instrumental]
F#m C#7 F#m D
F#m C#7 F#m D
D E7 F#m B7
C#7 C#7#5 F#m

[Verse 5]
F#m C#7 F#m D
Grant us the luxury, 'cause all our heroes are bastards
F#m C#7 F#m D
Grant us the luxury, 'cause all our heroes are thieves
D E7 F#m B7
Of the innocence of the afternoons
C#7 C#7#5 F#m
Now we think it's a virtue to simply survive
