[Intro]

C#79

[Verse 1]

Am                                         G
While the music played you worked by candle light
           F                                                     A#
Those San Francisco nights, you were the best in town
Am                                          G
Just by chance you crossed a diamond with a pearl
        F                                                           A#
You turned it on the world, that's when you turned the world around
F             G           Am  G                 Dm G F
Did you feel like Jesus? Did you realise
                           Em                       F      Em Dm
That you were a champion in their eyes?

[Instrumental]

C#79

[Verse 2]
Am                                   G
On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
        F                                                    A#
But yours was kitchen clean. Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolour motorhome
Am                                     G
Every A-frame had your number on the wall
             F                                            A#
You must have had it all. You'd go to LA on a dare and you'd go it alone
F                G    Am      G                             Dm G F
Could you live forever? Could you see the day?
                            Em                      F             Em   Dm
Did you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away?

[Chorus]

Dm         Em Dm Em
Get along Get along Kid Charlemagne
Dm    Em                             F G C#79
Get along Kid Charlemagne

[Verse 3]

Am                                     G
Now your patrons have all left you in the red
         F                                                          A#
Your low rent friends are dead. This life can be very strange
Am                                          G
All those day-glo freaks who used to paint their face
               F                                                     A#
They've joined the human race, some things will never change
F                 G          Am G                   Dm G F
Son, you were mistaken You are obsolete
                       Em                       F       Em Dm
look at all the white men on the street

[Chorus]

Dm        Em Dm         Em
Get along        Get along Kid Charlemagne
Dm    Em                             F G C#79
Get along Kid Charlemagne

[Verse 4]

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