Lana Del Rey - Off To The Races

so this tab’s a bit hard to write out exactly where the chords change . but it basically
follows the same Em – Am – Em format for the verses and if you listen to the song you’ll
be able to hear them . for better understanding i put the parts where it stays on Em
( where the chord continues ) in brackets just so people know i wasn’t leaving out a spot
there . i figured it out on piano and haven’t played it on guitar but i would think it
would transpose pretty much the same , let me know any suggestions .

Em
my old man is a bad man but
i can’t deny the way he holds my hand
Am Em
and he grabs me , he has me by my heart
he doesn’t mind i have a las vegas past
Am
he doesn’t mind i have an la crass way about me
Em
he loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart

( Em )
swimming pool glimmering darling
white bikini off with my red nail polish
Am
watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples
Em

( Em )
light of my life , fire of my loins
be a good baby , do what i want
Am
light of my life , fire of my loins
Em
give me them gold coins , gimme them coins

( Em )
and i’m off to the races , cases
of bacardi chasers , chasin’ me all over town
Am
cuz he knows i’m wasted , facing
time again on riker’s island and i won’t get out
D
because i’m crazy , baby i need you to come here and save me
C
i’m your little scarlet , starlet singing in the garden
kiss me on my open mouth
Em
ready for you

( Em )
my old man is a tough man but
he got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
Am
and he shows me , he knows me
Em
every inch of my tar black soul
he doesn’t mind i have a flat broke down life
Am
in fact he says he thinks it’s why he might like about me
Em
admires me , the way i roll like a rolling stone

( Em )
likes to watch me in the glass room bathroom , chateau marmont
slippin’ on my red dress , puttin’ on my makeup
Am Em
glass room perfume cognac lilac fume
says it feels like heaven to him

( Em )
light of his life , fire of his loins
keep me forever , tell me you own me
Am
light of your life , fire of your loins
Em
tell me you own me , gimme them coins

( Em )
and i’m off to the races , cases
of bacardi chasers , chasin’ me all over town
Am
cuz he knows i’m wasted , facing
time again on riker’s island and i won’t get out
D
because i’m crazy , baby i need you to come here and save me
C
i’m your little scarlet , starlet singing in the garden
kiss me on my open mouth

Em

leather on my waist is tight and i Am fallin’ down
Am

raising hell all over town

D Am
but i trust in the decision of the lord to watch over us
take him when he may , if he may
Em D
i’m not afraid to say that i’d die without him
Am
who else is gonna put up with me this way?
i need you , i breathe you , i never leave you
Em D
they would rue the day i was alone without you
Am
you’re lying with your gold chain on , cigar hanging from your lips
Em D
