verse 1 

C               G               D         C          Am 
Walking out of England thinking you were king taking on this world 
         C                      G        D             C          Am 
On that bus that goes through Mexico a killer often finds a sweet Mexican girl 
     C  G     D                        C     Am 
But in Mississippi we rushed into the room  
 C   G   D                         C     Am 
Down in Dixie you were crying for dope 

C          G               D           C    Am 
Down in Alabama they like home-cooked fare yeah 
So we're gonna strap you to the fryin' chair yeah 

Pre-Chorus 

C      G     D             C  
But I don't know what love is 
Am 
Is there something else giving me the chills? 
     C  G  D                       C  
But if my hands are the color of blood 
Am 
Then I can tell ya 
sure I can tell ya 


C G Am

         C              G           D            C               Am 
Do you wanna hear the sirens, the sirens of the city drown the arguing? 
We're on Riker's Island in a population war - they don't care about your fame 

Pre-Chorus 

C      G     D             C  
But I don't know what love is 
Am 
Is there something else giving me the chills? 
     C  G  D                       C  
But if my hands are the color of blood 
Am 
Then I can tell ya 
sure I can tell ya

verse 3 

C       G    D                           C   
On the Rio Grande they'll tie you to a tree 
Am 
Oh-oh-ohh,oh-oh-ohh 
          C    G          D                               C   
And you can't call the lawyers 'cause the whorehouse is asleep 
Am 
Oh-oh-ohh,oh-oh-ohh 

Instrumental 
C G D C 

Am 
You people will get weak 
Oh-oh-ohh,oh-oh-ohh 
          C              G                  D      C      Am 
They'll throw you in a cell where you can barely breathe 

Pre-Chorus 

C      G     D             C  
But I don't know what love is 
Am 
Is there something else giving me the chills? 
     C  G  D                       C  
But if my hands are the color of blood 
Am 
Then I can tell ya 
sure I can tell ya
