[Intro]
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]
