verse 1 
A                          D     Ddim7 
Small screen, July evening view 
            F#m            F#7 
Up and down Grand Avenue 
                   Bm        E 
Where the legends get made 
             A     D         E 
Out with the Boys' Brigade 
            A    D      Bm   A 
Part of the motorcade 
A                         D       Ddim7 
Flew home from Texas last night 
             F#m      F#7 
Slept on the flight 
                     Bm   E 
Work like a dog all day 
              A     D     E 
Born to chase cars away 
           A        D 
Die on the road someday 
  Bm     Ddim7                       A    F#m   D 
I try to remember what life was like long ago 
         E 
But it's gone, you know 

E A Climb the turnbuckle high D Take two falls out of three E A Bm A Blackout for local TV
verse 2 A D Ddim7 Stand in that cold empty hall F#m F#7 Wait for your name to get called Bm Burn like hillsides on fire E A D E In the squall of the ringside choir A D Em7 High as a wire D Ddim7 Nearly drive Danny's nose back into his brain F#m Faug A Bm A All the cheap seats go insane A D Ddim7 Keep my eyes open and try to think straight F#m F#7 No one drives on the 60 this late Bm E Feel like the last person alive A D E A D Francisquito to Glenshaw Drive Bm Ddim7 A F#m E D I try to remember to write in the diary D E That my son gave me
E A Climb the turnbuckle high D Take two falls out of three E A Blackout for local TV
Outro A D Ddim7 F#m F#7 Bm E A D E A D
