Intro:

C/G                              G A#
Michael plays with stars
                   F                        Dm           A
Soul Sister won't you take a ride in his car
            C/G
Late to call
                 G                    C
When you wanted to be all
                             G           A#
Baby, baby, don't be so shy
                       F                              Dm
Rock children hold your heads up high
           A                 C
In the night while I try
                   G
And tell the ballad of Valentine
C
You got it bad, but you know it's true

Verse:

C
I caught up with a friend in Dallas
Em
We took a trip to New Orleans
Am
Those black-eyed ladies
F                           G
Won't say they're sorry
C
We finally caught a train to Memphis
Em
Where everybody talks the same
Am
Those blue suede babies
F                   G
All know my name

Chrous:

                  C
And I said hold tight
                                   G             A
Can't you see that it's hurting me
E             D   C    E
But I've got the buzz
Am
Like Marlon Brando
C                             F                   G
Michael Valentine, can't we unite?

Verse:

C
We ended up in North Dakota
Em
Although my heart's in Mexico
Am
My muñequita
F              G
Abre tus ojos
                C                        Em
With your new suit, and your black tie
           Am                                                F              G
Hold on, you're just a gambling man, all proper like
   Dm                                G
I broke to the right and I caught your eye
C                                Am
Shut your mouth and wave goodbye
F                                                             G
Tonight, I ain't gonna let you rain on this parade

Chorus:

                 C
And I said hold tight
                                    G                A
Can't you see that it's hurting me
E            D   C    E
But I've got the buzz
Am
Like Marlon Brando
C                            F                   G
Straight faced with misery tonight
                 C                                   G                A
And I will not lie when I say I ain't cold no more
E           D   C    E 
But I've got the buzz
Am
Like Greta Garbo
C                         F
Walking forward to the sun
G                                               Am
And I've got a coat tail left to ride
               F
Well uh oh
                   C              G 
I know he's gonna be there tonight
