Off To The Races

Em
My old man is a bad man but

I can't deny the way he holds my 
hand
       Am                        
And he grabs me, he has me by my 
Em
heart

He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas 
past
He doesn't mind I have an LA crass 
    Am
way about me
                       Em
He loves me with every beat of his 
cocaine heart

Swimming pool glimmering darling

White bikini off with my red nail 
polish

Watch me in the swimming pool bright
 blue ripples
                Em
You sit sippin' on your black 
Cristal, yeah

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

singing in the garden

Kiss me on my open mouth

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
In fact he says he thinks it's why 
              Am
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
                 C
Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing

Time again on Riker's Island and I 
won't get out
            D           Bm
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
Now I'm off to the races, laces

Leather on my waist is tight and I 
am fallin' down
               C
I can see your face is shameless, 
Cipriani's basement
C
Love you but I'm going down
           D                Bm
God I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry 
that I'm misbehaving
                C

Queen of Coney Island

Raising hell all over town
            Em
Sorry 'bout it

Em                           C   
My old man is a thief and I'm 
gonna stay and pray with him 'til 
Bm
the end
      D                            
But I trust in the decision of the 
 Am
lord to watch over us
C
Take him when he may, if he may
Em                Bm           D
I'm not afraid to say that I'd die 
without him
                  Am
Who else is gonna put up with me 
this way?
  FM7                     C
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
I said "Hon' you never looked so 
   Em            D
beautiful as you do now, my man."

                     Em
