Shanghai'd in Shanghai - Nazareth
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
G F
Standing on a corner in downtown L.A.
C G
Waiting for the man to come along
F
She comes up to me and says "Too bad, too sad"
C G
You know that he's been dead and gone
C
L.A. lady, kinda shady
D
She picked him up and took him home
G F
I woke up groggy my sight was smoggy
C G
And I knew that it had been blown
[Verse 3]
F
Early in the morning sitting in a hotel
C G
Moscow's looking fine through the wine
F
Spaced out I crashed out
C G
When the K.G.B. came on the line.
C
It's a cold one, bein' sent down
D
It's gotta be fifty below
G F
Mama here's a postcard to let you know
C G
I'm in a saltmine and looking for coal

Ripped off and kicked right out the bed

G F
Flyin' across the desert from Texas to Tucson
C G
But we're headed for a southern star
F
The captain says it's fine in Havana
C G
This dude behind me needs a cigar
C
He's a big one, he's got a big gun

I guess we better go along

Second billing to the rolling stones
