Verse 1
(D major) From a dead beat to an (F sharp minor) old greaser,
(A major) here's thinking of (F sharp minor) you
You won't (E major) remember the
(E minor) long (B minor) (G major) nights;
Coffee (C major) bars; black tights
and (D major) white thighs
In shop (F sharp minor) windows where blonde (A major) assistants
fully-fashioned a a (F sharp minor) world made
Of (E major) dummies (with no mummies (B minor)
or (G major) daddies to re (C major) ject them)
When (D major) bombs were banned every (F sharp minor) Sunday
and the (A major) Shadows (F sharp minor) played FBI
And tired (E major) young sax-players sold sold
their instruments of (E minor) torture (B minor)
Sat in the (G major) station,
sharing (C major) wet dreams of Charlie (D major) Parker,
Jack (F sharp minor) (A major) Kerouac, René Magritte, to name
a (F sharp minor) few of the (E major) heroes
Who were too wise for their (E minor) own
(B minor) good left the (G major) young brood to
Go (C major) on living without (D major) them (F sharp minor)
(A major)

Verse 2
(D major) Old queers with (F sharp minor) young faces (A major) who remember your name, (F sharp minor)
Though you're a (E major) dead beat
with tired (B minor) (G major) feet;
Two ends that (C major) don't meet
To a (D major) dead beat from (F sharp minor) an old greaser (A major)
Think you must have me all (F sharp minor) wrong
I didn't (E major) care, friend I wasn't (E minor) there,
(B minor) friend,
If it's the price (G major) of pint that you need,
ask (C major) me again
