Los Angeles Im Yours

C     C    C    Cadd2 C   C  C
There is a city by the sea
C    Cadd2 Am   Am
A gentle company
Am        Asus2  Em         F F G G
I don't suppose you want to?

C     C    C    Cadd2 C   C  C
And as it tells its sorry tale
C    Cadd2 Am   Am
In harrowing detail
Am        Asus2  Em         F F G G
Its hollowness will haunt you

[Chorus]
Dm  Dm          Dm      Dm
Its streets and boulevards
F    F      Fadd2  Am       Am  Asus2
Orphans and oligarchs it hears

Dm  Dm          Dm  F    F      Fadd2
A plaintive melody, truncated symphony
Am                               G
An ocean's garbled vomit on the shore:
     F F G G      C
Los Angeles, I'm yours

C C C Cadd2 C (x3) C C F F G G

[Verse 2]
C     C    C    Cadd2 C   C  C
O ladies, pleasant and demure
C    Cadd2 Am   Am
Hollow-cheek'd and sure
Am     Asus2  Em         F F G G
I can see your undies

C     C    C    Cadd2 C   C  C
And all the boys you drag about
C    Cadd2 Am   Am
On empty, fallow fount
Am        Asus2  Em         F F G G
From Saturdays to Mondays.

[Chorus]
Dm  Dm          Dm     Dm
You hill and valley crowd
F    F      Fadd2  Am      Asus2
Hanging your trousers down at heel.

Dm  Dm                 Dm  F    F      Fadd2
This is the realest thing, as ancient choirs sing
Am                               G
A dozen blushing cherubs wheel above
     F F G G      C
Los Angeles, my love.

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
D     D    D    Dsus2 D   D  D
O what a rush of ripe elan!
D     Dsus2   Bm   Bm
Languor on divans
Bm    Bsus2    F#m    G G A A
Dalliant and dainty!

D     D    D    Dsus2 D   D  D
But oh the smell of burnt cocaine,
D     Dsus2   Bm   Bm
The dolor and decay
Bm    Bsus2    F#m    G G A A
It only makes me cranky

[Chorus]
Dm  Dm          Dm
O great calamity,
F      F      Fadd2  Am      Asus2
Ditch of iniquity and tears

Dm  Dm              Dm   F    F      Fadd2
How I abhor this place, its sweet and bitter taste
Am                                       G
Has left me wretched, wretching on all fours
     F F G G      C
Los Angeles, I'm yours
     F F G G      C
Los Angeles, I'm yours
     F F G G      C
Los Angeles, I'm yours

F F  G G  C
