There was a little boy       and there was a little girl
                     A     D/a  A                E       A/e E
And they lived in an alley        under the red sky.

There was a little boy and there was a little girl
         F#m7              B11           E
And they lived in an alley under the red sky.

There was an old man and he lived in the moon,
One summer's day he came passing by.
There was an old man and he lived in the moon,
And one day he came passing by.

Well I told my baby

I said "Baby, I know where you been

I know who you are,

G                                  C
Doctor, doctor tell me the time of day!
                                      G
Another bottle's empty, another penny spent.
   G                                  C
He turned around and he slowly walked away.
     C                                G
They shot him in the back and down he went.
        

           C
Shine your light
       D
Movin' on
              C
You burned so bright
         G
Roll on, John
        

From the Liverpool docks to the red-light Hamburg streets,

           F
Close your eyes, close the door,
                  G
You don't have to worry any more.
Bb         C        F
I'll be your baby tonight.

Shut the light, shut the shade,
You don't have to be afraid.
I'll be your baby tonight.

           Bb
Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away,
F
We're gonna forget it.
     G
That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon,
    C
But we're gonna let it,
[n.c.]
You won't regret it.

Album Version

    D           /c             G/b        D
The sweet pretty things are in bed now of course
    D            /c             G/b  D
The city fathers they're trying to endorse
    D      /c        G(b           D
The reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse
        D/c         G/b        D
But the town has no need to be nervous

The ghost of Belle Starr she hands down her wits
To Jezebel the nun she violently knits
A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits
At the head of the chamber of commerce

On a  cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs.

Got to hurry on back to my hotel room,

Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece.

 while a hurricane was blowing.
