Key:
| C | % | F | % |
| C | % | F | % | [Verse 1]
Am There was heat in the air
Dm And cops everywhere you looked
Am So there wasn't a lot
Dm G And the breaks that you got You know you took
F C And I remember wonderin' Where you've been
G F C The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in [Chorus]
C F The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
C G They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
C F The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace
C There was amazement on his face
G On the night that Eddie failed
C Sanity prevailed [Verse 2]
Am It was June or July
Dm When the heat from above beat down
Continues after the ad
Am It was famine or drought
Dm G When the brothers went out of style uptown
F C And we was mixin' Vicks with lemon gin
G F C The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in [Chorus]
C F The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
C G They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
C F The night Spanish Eddie made front page
C His revolution came of age
G He wrote "Surrender" on the wall
C The night he took the fall [Bridge]
F Dm G I heard someone say "He's tryin' to fly"
Am C G Like Eddie used to say We'll do when we die [Instrumental]
| Am | % | Dm | % |
| Am | % | Dm | % | [Bridge]
G F C I know someone turned you For a spin
G F C The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in [Chorus]
C F The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
C G They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
C F The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace
C There was amazement on his face
G On the night that Eddie failed
C Sanity prevailed [Other]
C F The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
C G They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
C F The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
C G They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
C F The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
C G They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
