st Fret 


Intro: C 

                            D 
They raised him up on the instalment plan 
F                   G 
The homely son of a handsome man 
C       G                    F             G 
Neither clear-complected nor expected to achieve 
C                      D 
A little bit ragged, a little bit rough  
F 
A little too rowdy for the summer of love 
C                        G           C 
Still he's looking for a reason to believe  



         F                     C             G 
And he's changed his name from Frank to Valentino 
         F               C    
And he's growing out his sideburns 
                          G 
And he's wearing platform shoes 
         F              C                  E7              Am 
And he's driving on the midnight road from Medford down to Reno 
       F                   C               G 
And he thinks he's found a way to cure his working blues 
 


C                         D 
He got himself married at seventeen 
    F                          G 
She looked real pretty but she talked kinda mean 
C                 G                      F           G 
He thought they'd work things out in the fullness of time 
      C                       D 
Well, twenty years later he's headed south 
    F 
The close-range victim of her sawed-off mouth 
C             G            C 
Leaving their salad days behind  



         F                     C             G 
And he's changed his name from Frank to Valentino 
         F               C    
And he's growing out his sideburns 
                          G 
And he's wearing platform shoes 
         F              C                  E7               Am 
And he's driving on the midnight road from Medford down to Reno 
       F                   C               G 
And he thinks he's found a way to cure his working blues  



Instrumental: C  G  F  C   G  F 


C                      D 
Lord have mercy on the working stiff  
F                      G 
Pulling graveyards and double-shifts 
C         G                       F              G 
Trying to hold his own beside the pretty and the bright 
C                          D 
Giving up the dream of his own backyard 
F                           
Juggling taxes and credit cards 
C                       G                       C 
Now he's rolling like a ghost train through the night  



         F                     C             G 
And he's changed his name from Frank to Valentino 
         F               C    
And he's growing out his sideburns 
                          G 
And he's wearing platform shoes 
         F              C                  E7              Am 
And he's driving on the midnight road from Medford down to Reno 
       F                   C               G 
And he thinks he's found a way to cure his working blues  
       F                   C               G 
And he thinks he's found a way to cure his working blues 
        F                   C               G 
Yes, he thinks he's found a way to cure his working blues
