[Verse 1]
C
Last night I went to the Coronado
C
I bought my ticket and I found my seat
C
It was a new adventure straight from Hollywood
C
Light's went down, as I turned the heat
Gm Dm
They went here from the final scene
Bb C
Burning rubber, spilling gasoline
Gm Dm
As the credits rolled away
Bb C
They were still chasing, the man who got away

[Verse 2]
C
Well, every nightfall, weeks and weeks now
C
I beat the traffic, I beat the heat now
C
For two hours I couldn't believe now
C
The man who got away was me
Gm Dm
I went here from the final scene
Bb C
Burning rubber, spilling gasoline
Gm Dm
As the credits rolled away
Bm C
They were still chasing the man who got away

[Organ Solo]
C Bb G

[Verse 3]
C
Drove into Stockton, my radio went dead
C
That's when I heard what the newsman said
C
He said, "armed robbery on the ten-hundred block"
C
There was two men involved and one man shot
C
And one was accomplice, made the payday
C
With a 45 he blew the cashier away, way
C
Last seen headed on the state highway
C
Driving a late model Chevrolet
Gm Dm
I went screaming from the final scene
Bb C
In a hail of bullets and flaming and gasoline
Gm Dm
As the credits rolled away
Bb C
They were still chasing the man who got away, man that got away, man that got away, man that got away

[Outro]
-repeat and fade
Gm F C
