[Intro]
A F#m
[Verse 1]
A F#m
We used to dance, we used to do it all night
F#m D
You and me and the dolls of Highland
D A
They'd crank that radio loud
[Verse 2]
A F#m
The jester choked on his jokes in the spotlight
F#m D
The poet burned all of last year's pages
D A
And we watched the bottom fall out
[Chorus]
E D A7
But oh I've never set sight on a siren so bright
A D
On a songbird so deranged
E D
And she said you must be new to the Shreveport city blues
E D A
She said these days, her nights were getting strange
