Ah! They don't make them like this anymore, a good old rock'n'roll tune with not
one, but TWO lovely guitar solos to master... ENJOY!

intro: A - F#m G (x8, bass enters 3rd time, keyboards enter 5th time,
       drums enter 7th time)


A                                    F#m G
Bitching 'bout the things we've seen
A                                 F#m G
Bitching 'bout the things we'd be
A                                  G F#m
Bitching 'bout the loves we've had

My oh my it wasn't so bad
E                                    G F#m
When we had that to loosen our minds
E                                         F#m 
Hey little baby in the front row, be kind


 G   A                                      F#m
(bar bitching) Telling you the gospel truth
 G   A                                    F#m
(bar bitching) Why don't you all go get screwed?
 G   A                                         F#m
(bar bitching) Why don't you tell me something new?
 G   A                        F#m G

Bitching 'bout the Western Sea
A                                       G F#m
Why can't you all be like a Grainger man?
E                    G F#m
Or even a Pheland man?
E                                        G F#m
I'll tell you what we'll meet in Amsterdam
E                                             F#m 
And then you'll see what should be really can


 G   A                                      F#m
(bar bitching) Telling you the gospel truth
 G   A                                    F#m
(bar bitching) Why don't you all go get screwed?
 G   A                                         F#m
(bar bitching) Why don't you tell me something new?
 G   A                                                  F#m G

A                                  F#m G
There's a place with a lot of eyes
A                                         F#m G
Strange smoke perfume around the peacock guys
A                                  G F#m
And the girls, they move their heat
E                                 G F#m
To the impulsive, compulsive beat
E                                     G F#m
But that's another place, another time
E                                             F#m
Maybe we'll meet there in quite a short while

That's gonna happen to us all one day
D                                   C#m D
And when it does you can have me too
