                           C                  G
Dodging the blues, but the blues were gaining fast
                         Em                D
Riding the news, knowing news just doesn't last
C            G               Am             D
Heaven, come seven, with the rolling of the bones
        C             D                G
Ah, but winning never feels like going home


                         C            G
He's thick at the bottom, thin at the top
                             Em                 D
Like a bottle shaken, with a cork that wouldn't pop
   C             G        Am             D
Pretending and descending to the land of woe
    C                   D                    G    D G
Oh, life's not what you think, it's what you know


CHORUS:
N.C.       C   D      G     G* G
So take it downtown tonight
D                             C
When nobody's looking, you can slip it out of sight
                               D               G
Since you're devil bound, it's hell downtown tonight


INSTRUMENTAL:   C  G    Em D  C  G  Am  D  C  D  G 


                                  C              G
He's beard, bone and gristle, the rest is mostly mule
                                     Em           D
He's running from the whistles, he's running as a rule
   C             G        Am             D
Pretending and descending to the land of woe
             C                 D                   G
Oh, when you give your hand to fate, she don't let go



CHORUS:
N.C.       C   D      G     G* G
So take it downtown tonight
D                             C
When nobody's looking, you can slip it out of sight
                               D               G
Since you're devil bound, it's hell downtown tonight
