   A                B 
It's a Raymond Chandler Evening 
       A                B 
At the end of someone's day 
        A              B 
And I'm standing in my pocket 
        A      B       E 
And I'm slowly turning grey 

I remember what I told you 
But I can't remember why 
And the yellow leaves are falling 
In a spiral from the sky 

          C#m  A      B 
There's a body on the railings 
       C#m    A     B 
That I can't identify 
        F#         A      
And I'd like to re-assure you 
        E                B 
But I'm not that kind of guy 

It's a Raymond Chandler Evening 
And the pavements are all wet 
And I'm lurking in the shadows 
'Cause it hasn't happened yet
