[Intro]
G C A
[Verse 1]
D C
You were born in a shack in a slum
G A D
Like a hero's supposed to be
B Em C
You were funny and tough and dumb
Bb Am G
And loud and wild and free
[Verse 2]
D C
Your friends were Chuck and Bo
G A D
And that redneck Presley kid
B Em C
And you went where you liked to go
Bb Am G
And you dug the things you did
[Chorus]
Em G
La la la la la la la goodbye Pop
C D
And a thanks for all you gave
Em G
La la la la la and the least I can do
Bb F G
Is to dance here on your grave
C A
[Verse 3]
D C
You hung around in jukebox bars
G A D
And danced and sang and grew
B Am C
And you learned about love in cars
Bb Am G
With Rhonda and Runaround Sue
[Chorus]
Em G
La la la la la la la goodbye Pop
C D
And a thanks for all you gave
Em G
La la la la la and the least I can do
Bb F G
Is to dance here on your grave
[Bridge]
Bb/C C
Then you got the business smarts
Bb/C C
And a tailored English suit
Bb/C C
With a wall full of plaques and charts
Bb/C C
And a briefcase full of loot
Bb/C C
And forty floors above
Bb/C C
You were puttin' the coast on hold
Bb/C C
Buying and selling love
Em A7
Turning plastic into gold
[Verse 4]
D C
And in the end you were fat and rich
G A D
Living for creepy thrills
B Em C
A swaggering butchy bitch
Bb Am G
Screaming for needles and pills
[Chorus]
Em G
La la la la la la la goodbye Pop
C D
And a thanks for all you gave
Em G
La la la la la and the least I can do
Bb F G
Is to dance here on your grave
[Outro]
G
Fade out
