1. While the music played you worked by candle light
F6/9 B13
Those San Fransisco nights, they were the best in town
Am G6
Just by chance you crossed a diamond with a pearl
F6/9 B13
You turned it on the world, that's when you turned the world around
F6 G Am G6 Dm7 Em7 Dm7
Did you feel like Jesus Did you realise
Em7 Fmaj7
That you were a champion in their eyes ?
Em7 Dm7
2. On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
But yours was kitchen clean
Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolour motorhome
Every A-frame had your number on the wall
You must have had it all
You'd go to LA on a dare and you'd go it alone
Could you live forever
Could you see the day
Did you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away
Dm7 Em7
R: Get along
Dm7 Em7
Get along Kid Charlemagne
Dm7 Em7 F7
Get along Kid Charlemagne
G7 C7
3. Now your patrons have all left you in the red
Your low rent friends are dead
This life can be very strange
All those day-glo freaks who used to paint their face
They've joined the human race, some things will never change
Son you were mistaken
You are obsolete, look at all the white men on the street

4. Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail
Those test tubes and the scales, just get it all out of here
Is there gas in the car ?
Yes there's gas in the car
I think the people down the hall know who you are
Careful what you carry
Cause the man is wise
You are still an outlaw in their eyes
