Am       Am/B            E/G#
took the boat to the Hacienda
Am               Am/B        E/G#
through swimming pools oh so placid
Am       Am/B               E/G#
saw Redd Foxx took a hit of acid
Am      Am/B             E/G#     A D/A
saw the smiling queen of Thailand

                       A  D/A G C
and then it's time to go
                     G C
I said it's time to go

Chorus:
                  Dm  A#
are we gonna make it?
                  Dm  A#
are we gonna make it?
          D#m     A#
we gottta face it
             D#m      A#
are we gonna make it?

We done run out of all our tricks
We flew a plane with lion tamers
Back to Brazil in '66
End of the world and I don't blame her

And then it's time to go
It's really time to go

Chorus:
But are we gonna make it?
Are we gonna make it?
We gotta face this
Are we gonna make it?

C                         A#   G
drinking the dregs of the wine
C                   A#   G
under the Hollywood sign
C                         A#   G
drinking the dregs of the wine
          G#
'til it's gone
C                         A#   G
drinking the dregs of the wine
C                   A#   G
under the Hollywood sign
C                         A#   G
drinking the dregs of the wine
           G#
there's no more


Am Am/B    E/G#                    Am Am/B E/G#
it has the charm of hepcat circuit jazz
Am    Am/B   E/G#        Am        Am/B E/G#
it has the swagger of a snake with arms
