Verse 1
this gigolo's jump (E minor) ing salty,
(F sharp major) ain't no (G major) trade out on (C major) the streets, (B major)
(E major) Half past (F sharp major) the unlucky,
and the hawk's a front- row (B major) seat
Dressed in full (E minor) orchestra (E major) tion,
stage- door (E minor) Johnny's (G major) got to (F sharp major) pay,
An (C sharp major) d (C major) sent him (F sharp major) home (B major) talking (B flat major) 'bout the one
that got away (E minor) (E major)
Could have been (E minor) on Easy (G major) Street,
(C major) could have been a wheel,
(B major) With (G major) irons in the fire and all
them business (B major) deals
But the last (E major) of the big- (F sharp major) time (G major) losers shouted
(B major) before (C major) he drove (B major) away,
"I'll be right back,
as (F sharp major) soon as I (F major) crack (B major) the one that got (E minor) away" (G major)
(E minor) Well, the (D major) ambulance (G major) drivers,
they don't give a (F sharp major) shit,
They (B major) just want to (C major) get off (F major) work, and
(E minor) The short (G major) stop and the vic (F sharp major) tim are
already gone (C major) berserk (F major)
(B major) And the shroud- (E major) tail (E minor) or measures
(G major) him for a (C sharp major) deep- six (C major) holi (F sharp major) day,
(B major) The stiff (F major) is froze, the (C major) case is (B major) closed on the one that got (F sharp major) away (B major) (F sharp major) (E minor)
(C sharp major) (B major) (E minor) (F sharp major) (C sharp major) (F sharp major) (C major) (B major) (F major) (E major) (B major)
(E major) (F sharp major) (C major) (B major) (G major) (C major) (B major) (E minor) (A major) (E minor)
(B major) Now (E major) (F sharp major) Jim Crow's directing (C sharp major) traffic with
(F sharp major) them cemetery (B major) blues,
With them pecu (F sharp major) liar- look (E minor) ing trouser (C sharp major) s,
them (F sharp major) old Itali (C sharp major) an shoes (B major)
(B flat major) And a wooden ki (F sharp major) mono that was (G major) all ready
(F sharp major) to drop in San (B major) Francisco Bay
But he's (F sharp major) mumbling (B major) something all
about the (F major) one that got away (C major)
(G major) And Costel (E minor) lo was the champi (B major) on
(E major) at the (F sharp major) St. Mor (B major) itz Hotel,
And the best this side of Fairfax,
reliable sources tell
But his reputation (F sharp major) is at (E major) large,
and (E minor) he's at Ben (A major) Frank's (G major) every (B major) day, (C major)
(B major) Waiting (C sharp major) for the one that got away (D sharp major) (E major) (A major)
He (E major) got a (E minor) snakeskin (E major) (E minor) sportshirt, and
he (B major) looks like (F sharp major) Vin cent (B major) Price,
(F sharp major) With a little (G major) piece of chick (E minor) en,
(G major) an d he's carving off a (C major) slice
(B major) Someone (E minor) tipped her (G major) off,
and (E minor) she'll be doing (B flat major) a Houdin (B major) i now any (F sharp major) day (B major)
(F major) She (B major) shook his hustle, and a Greyhound
bus'll take the one that got away
Well, (E major) Andre's at (E minor) the pian (C sharp major) o behind
(F sharp major) the (B major) Ivar in the sewers,
With a buck a shot for pop (C sharp major) tunes,
and a (C major) fin for (B major) guided tours
He (E major) could- a been in (F sharp major) "Casablan (G major) ca",
he (B major) stood in line out (F sharp major) there all (B major) day
Now (F sharp major) he's spilling (C major) whiskey and (F major) learning song (B major) s about a one that (A major) got away (G major) (F major) (E major) (F sharp major)
(G major) (F sharp major) (G major) (A major) (B flat major) (B major) (C sharp major) (D sharp major) (E major) (F sharp major) (G major) (A major) (B flat major) (B major)
(E major) (D major) (A major) (C major) (F sharp major) (B major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (E minor) (E major)
(E minor) Well (E major) I've lost (E minor) my equi (G major) librium and my
(F sharp major) car keys (B major) and my pride,
The tattoo (E minor) par lor's (F sharp major) warm,
and so I hustle there inside (B major)
(E major) And the grinding off the buzz- saw,
(C sharp major) "What you want (C major) that thing to (F sharp major) say?"
(B major) I says, "Just (G major) don't (C major) misspell her (B major) name, (D sharp major) buddy, she's the (E minor) one that (G major) got away" (F sharp major)
