Intro: D A E D A G D Hey let him follow you down, A E D Way underground wind and he's bound. A G D Bound to follow you down, A E D Just a dead beat right off the street. A G D Bound to follow you down. A G D Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos A G D And dressing rooms filled with parasites. A G D On stage the band has got problems, A D A A D A They're a bag of nerves on first nights. D A E D He ain't tied down to no home town, A G D Yeah, and he thought he was wreckless. A E D You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad, A G D Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless. A G D And his coat is torn and frayed, A G D It's seen much better days. A G D Just as long as the guitar plays A D A Let it steal your heart away, A D A Let it steal your heart away. A D A D A E D A G D A E D A G D D A E D Joe's got a cough, sounds kind a rough, A G D Yeah, and the codeine to fix it. A E D Doctor prescribes, drug store supplies, A G D Who's gonna help him to kick it. A G D Well his coat is torn and frayed, A G D It`s seen much better days. A G D Just as long as the guitar plays A D A Let it steal your heart away, A D A D A E D Let it steal your heart away. A G D A G D Well this coat is torn and frayed (4x)
