Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Brave young cowboys
 of the near north side
 mount those bridge rails
 ride all night
 scream when captured
 arch your back
 let this whole  town  hear your knuckles  crack
 Sapphire trans  am
 high beams in vain
 drive like broncos
 down the plain
 push up to the corner
 where the turbines hiss
 someday  we won't  remember  this
 crawl till dawn
on  my hand and knees
 God damn these vampires
 for what they've done to me
 Tie those horses
 to the post outside
 and let those glass  doors
 open wide
 and in their surface
 see two young savage things
barely worth  remembering
 feast like pagans
 never get enough
 sleep like dead  men
 wake up like dead  men
 and when the sun  comes
 try not to hate the light
 some day  we'll  try to walk  upright
 crawl till dawn
on  my hand and knees
 god damn these bite  marks
 deep in my arteries
 crawl till dawn
on  my hand and knees
 god damn these vampires
 for what they've done to me
