[Intro 1]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Dust blowin' down
around four corners,
lights faded [G]an d the
[D]whiskey [G]bars [D]are[G] full
And it's [D]all been a little too [G]rough,[D][G]
[D]we've bee[A]n high on the ribbon
but [G]low on the magical [D]love[G][D]
[G]I a[D]in't stayin' at the Chelsea Hotel
I ain't workin' at the
Bluebird night [G]and day
And it's [D]all been a little too [G]rushed[D]
We've [A]been high on the rhythm
but [G]low on the magic [D]of [G]love[D][A]
Last night I had a shot out of heaven
[Em]Hauled by the liquor [G]store lights
[A]Last time I tried to mak[Bm]e us happy
[Em]Slam of the [G]smoke and valium smiles
[D]Last shot to get some time tog[G]ether
[D]You're just a drop [G]in
and the [D]colors come [G]in waves
And it's [D]all been a little too rushed
[G]We've [A]been high on the rhythm
and [G]low on the magical [D]glow[A]
Last night I had a shot at heaven,
[Em]hogged by the liquor [G]store lights
[A]Last time I tried to [Bm]make us happy,
[Em]slammin' smoke[G] and valium smiles
[Bm]You asked [Em]me how did I de[G]fine
that early [D]life, shinin' in your eyes
[Bm]I play the blu[Em]e note and the[G] alibi,
fine, so [D]fine[Dm][G][D][A][G][D][A]
Last night I had a shot out of heaven
[Em]Hard by the liquor [G]store lights
[A]Last time they tried to [Bm]make us happy
[Em]Slam of [G]smoke and valued smiles
[Bm]You ask [Em]me how did I [G]define
That pearly light [D]shining in your eyes
[Bm]I pray the blu[Em]e moon will bring me
[G]How about somebody, somebody
[D]Next up a little Kansas Jew joint
Some hunters try[G]ing to
[D]make you want [G]to stay
And it's [D]all been a little too rough
[G]Whippin' [A]high on the rhythm
but [G]low on the [Em]magical[D]
We've [A]been high on the rhythm,
but low [G]on the magic of [D]love
We've [G]been [A]high on the rhythm,
but [G]low on the magic of love

[Outro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D]
