[Verse 1]
E5                 G5            B5  G5  F#5
 In L.A. Basin heroin was so passé
E5                             G5            B5       G5 F#5
 We had to find something cheaper and not so far from West L.A
E5                         G5                 B5      G5 F#5
 We were all looking for a high different and new
     E5                             G5        A5       B5      E5
When dope was hard to get, Codeine 4 and Doriden would have to do


[Chorus]
   C5/G      G5       A5/E     E5
On doors and fours we take our chance
      C5       G5       A5     E5
White punks on dope‚ perfect romance
   C5/G      G5        A5/E   E5
On doors and fours in 'Eighty three
            C5            B5              B5 A5 G5 A5  A5 G5 F#5  E5
When we got loaded taking loads we'd all OD     e -ven   -tu-a   -ly

[Verse 2]
E5                         G5            F#5               E5
 Was there a killer or did Jordan Hiller just have a death wish ?
                           G5                A5       B5   E5
His parents didn't need to find their oldest son cold as a fish
                                  G5         F#5
When loads were finding the roads to Beverly Hills
E5                    G5           A5       B5        E5
Heroin and PCP were a safer bet compared to those six pills

[Chorus 2]
   C5        G5       A5    E5
On doors and fours we never knew
      C5     G5     A5      E5
Which one of us was turning blue
    C5     G5 A5    E5
Why wasn't anybody scared?
               C5           B5                G5             E5
'Cause we were teenagers on loads - so no one really fucking cared!

E5                             C5
 Another good friend's heart explodes
               B5              E5
'Cause all the punks are doing loads
                                C5
 but we're all still taking our loads
               A5        B5    E5
'Cause all the punks are doing loads
                          C5
Our arteries and veins corrode
               B5              E5
'Cause all the punks are doing loads
                            C5
Los Angeles' punk scene slowly erodes
       A5      B5              E5
'Cause all the punks are doing loads

[Chorus 3]
   C5/G     G5      A5/E E5
We lived on violent apa -thy
     C5    G5     A5     E5
This was L.A. in 'eighty three
         C5/G       G5       A5/E E5
Straight out of the Hills of Beverly
         C5               B5               B5 A5 G5    A5    A5 G5 F#5 E5
Old L.A. punks they never die from old age -    'cause they all O     -D!
