 (Verse 1:)
Was  only ever passing  through
 She's  only ever  passing through
"Carlitas  and You"
Was  the name of her act
 (Prechorus 1:)
 And its true,  to love  her is all  I can do
 In a world  that's beaten everything  black and blue
 (Chorus 1:)
They  haul a silver  Jenny dollar
(a-whoa  whoa whoa whoa...)
 A silver  Jenny dollar
(a-whoa  whoa whoa whoa...)
 A silver  Jenny dollar
(a-whoa  whoa whoa whoa)
 (whoa whoa  whoa)
 (Repeat Intro chords/riff x2)
 (Verse 2:)
We're  only ever passing  through
We  were only ever passing  through
 "Carlitas and You"
Was  the name of our act
 (Prechorus 2:)
 And its true,  you'll notice  its all  I can do
 In a world  that's beaten everything  black and blue
 (*Repeat Chorus*)

The  winter's over,  the  war is over
A  parcel of land  men, our scum  is true
