C D G
from the tin rooftop the little boy did watch
C D G
the procession down through town
C D G
through the museum where daniel whupped the devil
C D G
with them boys from the underground
C D G
where the giants of science fight for tight control
C D G
over the wildlands of new mexico
C D G C
sam houston’s ghost’s in texas fighting for his soul
Am Em G D C Am
and the townsfolk rest uneasy beneath the guns of kid colt
G C D
and the kid says “hey , where’s santa ana?”
G C D
he who could romance the dumb into talking
G C D

G C D

C D G
now some folks think cancer’s taken to the streets of this town
C D G
well sandy eats her candy and then lays her money down
C D G C
them cats are in from the canyons to strut their stuff in town
G C
but there’s only secret sinners here
G C
lord , there’s only secret thieves
G C
only a fool would try to save
D
what the desert chose to leave
G C D
and hey there senorita
G C D
with your playboys in their spanish bandanas
G C D
french cream won’t soften those boots , baby
G C D
french kisses will not break your heart oh – – – – – – – – – |

Em Bm
oh painted night set free with light
Am Em
glows outside the rainbow saloon
Bm
matching braces with a spanish lady
Am Em
’neath a graduation moon
C D
no more colleges , no more coronations
G Em
some punk’s idea of a teenage nation
Am Em
has forced santa ana to change his station
G D4 D
from soldier to cartoon
C D G
and the giants of science spend their days and nights
C D G
not with wives , not with lovers , but searchin’ for the lights
C D G C
they spotted in the desert on their helicoptor flights
D D4 D
just to be lost in the dust and the night

G C D G C D
hey ah my contessa , in your juke joint rags you always bring candy for the kids
G C G
come waltz with me tonight senorita
G C D
’cause only fools are alone on a night like this oh – – – – – – – – – |
