The Altar Boy And The Thief

   Dm7                     G7
At night in the safety of shadows and numbers
Dm7                        G7
Seeking some turf on which nothing encumbers
    Dm7                   G7
The buying and selling of casual looks
Dm7                        G7
Stuff that gets printed in x-rated books
     Am                              G
Your mother might have tried to understand
              Am                         G
When you were hardly your daddy's little man
        Fmaj7                G
And you gave up saluting the chief
    G7sus4            C      Dm/C         C
To find yourself some relief

Dm7                         G7
Finely plucked eyebrows and skin of satin
Dm7                   G7
Smiling seductive and endlessly Latin
  Dm7           G7
Olympic body on dancing feet
Am                     G
Perfume thickening the air like heat

  Am                        G
A transient star of gay bar fame
    Am                             G
You quit your job and changed your name
           Fmaj7           G
And you're nearly beyond belief
    G7sus4            C      Dm/C         C
As you hunt down a little relief

    Dm7                       G7
The seven foot black with the emerald ring
Dm7                      G7
Broke up a fight without saying a thing
       Dm7                     G7
As the cops cruised by wanting one more chance
   Am                      G
To send Jimmy Baldwin back over to France
      Am                      G
And a trucker with kids and a wife
   Am                         G
Prefers to spend half of his life
   Fmaj7            G
In early Bohemian motif
        G7sus4              C      Dm/C       C
Playing pool and getting relief

   Dm7                 G7
My favorite couple was looking so fine
Dm7                   G7
Dancing in rhythm and laughing in rhyme
       Dm7                      G7
In the light of the jukebox all yellow and blue
Am                    G
Holding each other as young lovers do
   Am                    G
To me they will always remain
   Am                    G
Unshamed, untamed, and unblamed
    Fmaj7             G
The altar boy and the thief
G7sus4                   C      Dm/C    C
Grabbing themselves some relief

    Am                G
The altar boy and the thief
G7sus4              C     G7   C
Catching a little relief
