Bm  A


[Verse 1]
A                          D     Ddim7
Small screen, July evening view
            F#m            F#7
Up and down Grand Avenue
                   Bm        E
Where the legends get made
             A     D         E
Out with the Boys' Brigade
            A    D      Bm   A
Part of the motorcade
A                         D       Ddim7
Flew home from Texas last night
             F#m      F#7
Slept on the flight
                     Bm   E
Work like a dog all day
              A     D     E
Born to chase cars away
           A        D
Die on the road someday
  Bm     Ddim7                       A    F#m   D
I try to remember what life was like long ago
         E
But it's gone, you know


[Chorus]
          E          A
Climb the turnbuckle high
                      D
Take two falls out of three
E                   A   Bm   A
Blackout for local TV


[Verse 2]
A                            D   Ddim7
Stand in that cold empty hall
                          F#m      F#7
Wait for your name to get called
                        Bm
Burn like hillsides on fire
             E       A        D       E
In the squall of the ringside choir
A         D      Em7
High as a wire
                                        D       Ddim7
Nearly drive Danny's nose back into his brain
        F#m             Faug    A   Bm   A
All the cheap seats go insane
A                                  D          Ddim7
Keep my eyes open and try to think straight
                             F#m   F#7
No one drives on the 60 this late
                           Bm     E
Feel like the last person alive
       A                 D       E   A   D
Francisquito to Glenshaw Drive
  Bm       Ddim7                  A        F#m   E   D
I try to remember to write in the diary
D       E
That my son gave me


[Chorus]
          E          A
Climb the turnbuckle high
                      D
Take two falls out of three
E                   A
Blackout for local TV


[Outro]
