Written by Elvis Costello

	  		Intro: Am Ab C C C C 
 
                C                                       G 
C       (add Bb) 
The used to call it Sin City, now its gone way past that; 
 
 
F                                       Am 
G               (add B) 
Painting the town and then burning it down, now even that's old hat. 
 
 
                        C                             Em 
 
Now there's a chior of angels at the fall of Rome, 
 
 
G                       C               F                       Am 
 
Singing "Ave Maria" or "Home Sweet Home", 
 
 
                 C                              Em        Am 
G 
It's just a heathen town, I hear only evil as my tounge gets tightened; 
 
 
     F                  Am                 G 
 
I used to be God fearing, now I'm, I'm so frightened. 
 
 
                 F                              Am              Am 
Ab              C 
'Cause the Devil will drag you under by the short tail fin of your Checker 
cab, 
 
 
        G                                       G/B                     C 
 
and I can't sit down, I'm going overboard, in this heathen town. 
 
 
                C                                       G 
C      (add Bb) 
It starts out as a flirtation and ends up as an expensive habit. 
 
 
        F                                               Am 
G                   (add B) 
With one eye on a place and that's his prison and the other one on a girl 
dressed as rabbit. 
 
 
                     C                           Em 
 
Now you can live forever and do fits and starts, 
 
 
             G                          C                       F 
Am 
But the only stake you cannot raise is the one driven through your heart, 
 
 
                C                                Em      Am 
G 
It's just a heathen town, I hear only evil as my tounge gets tightened; 
     F                   Am                   G 
 
I used to be God fearing, now I'm, I'm so frightened. 
 
 
                 F                              Am              Am      Ab 
C 
'Cause the Devil will drag you under by the short tail fin of your Checker 
cab, 
 
 
        G                                     G (add                 C 
 
and I can't sit down, I'm going overboard, in this heathen town. 
 
 
        G                                       G (add B)               C 
 
and I can't sit down, I'm going overboard, in this heathen town. 
 
 
        Am   Ab      C 
 
In this heathen town (x4)
