[Intro]
E Em

[Verse]
          Bm      G                  C#m7b5 F#
With a handful of backhanders
         Bm          G      C#m7b5 F#    Bm            G        C#m7b5   F#
And a bevy of beauty                   Going off-limits, going off duty
Bm                  G       C#m7b5           F#
Going off the rails, going off with booty
G                                             Em
The tell-tales of fiction found on all the criminal types
Bm            G          C#m7b5   F#        Bm        G   C#m7b5     F#
Lead to a higher ranking     man Or a face within red stripes
        B               F#             B              F#
The boys next door The mums and dads
B                       F#                    B                             F#
New-weds and nearly-deads Have you ever been had

B                 G#m7  F#
In Clubland... In Clubland

[Verse 2]
Bm         G          C#m7b5 F#
There's a piece in someone's pocket
Bm        G      C#m7b5 F#
To do the dirty work
Bm        G           C#m7b5 F#
You've come to shoot the pony
Bm         G        C#m7b5 F#
They've come to do the jerk
          G                                                    Em
They lead 'em halfway to paradise; they leave you halfway to bliss
         Bm  G      C#m7b5 F#
The ladies' invitation
Bm             G       C#m7b5 F#
Never seemed like this

[Chorus]
        B                F#            B              F#
The boys next door The mums and dads
B                        F#                  B                              F#
New-weds and nearly-deads Have you ever been had
B             G#m7   F#
In Clubland In Clubland

[Interlude]
E B Em6 F#7

        BaddE       AaddE   G             F#              D           E      D    E
The long arm of the    law slides up the outskirts of town
BaddE     AaddE      G           F#          D           E               D    E
Mean.....while in Clubland they are ready to pull them down......hey!

[Verse 3]
         Bm         G        C#m7b5    F#
The right to work is traded     in
             Bm         G        C#m7b5 F#
For the right to refuse admission
           Bm           G             C#m7b5    F#
Don't pass out now- there's no refund
                 Bm         G                   C#m7b5 F#
Did you find out what you were missing?
        G                                          Em
The crowd is taking forty winks, minus ten percent
          Bm        G  C#m7b5      F#
You barely get required sleep
               Bm            G       C#m7b5   F#
To go lingering with contentment
G                                   Em
Thursday to Saturday, money's gone already
Bm                G            C#m7b5           F#
Some things come in common these days
          Bm              G       C#m7b5   F#
Your hands and work aren't steady

[Chorus]
        B                F#            B               F#
The boys next door The mums and dads
B                        F#                   B                             F#
New-weds and nearly-deads Have you ever been had

B G#m7 F# [x4] E Em Bm
