[D] chords]
In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners
At the hotel Flamingo wearing black market shoes
[Am] [Alternate
[B]/w
[G]&
[D]]
This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon
[Am]No one wants to be lonely
[Am] [Alternate
[B]/w
[G] and
[D]]
No one wants to sing the blues
She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder
Christ, whatcha doing with him
When you could be dancing with me
She stirs the ice with her elegant finger
I want to be what she's drinking
Yeah, I just want to be
{section: Chorus}
[C]I saw you f[G]irst
[D]I'm the first[G] one tonight
[C]I saw you f[G]irst
[D]Don't that gi[G]ve me the right
[C]To move ar[G]ound in your heart
[D]Everyone was looking
But I saw you first
[Alternate between
[G] &
[D]]
On a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo
Gypsy Scotty is driving his big long yellow car
She flies like a bird over her shoulder
She whispers in his ear, boy, you are my star
CHORUS
In the bone colored dawn
Me and Gypsy Scotty are singin'
The radio is playing
She left her shoes out in the back
He tells me a story about some girl he knows in Kentucky
He just made that story up; there ain't no girl like that
CHORUS and fade
NOTE: You can try changing from Am to Am7 in the verses to give
the song more jangle.
This posting is for Tiffany. I love her very very very very much.
She is the reason that I write and play music, and why I asked her to marry me.
