 A   G                   D
Hey let him follow you down,
           A    E               D
Way underground wind and he's bound.
A     G              D
Bound to follow you down,
        A    E                    D
Just a dead beat right off the street.
A     G               D
Bound to follow you down.
           A              G        D
Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos
         A            G            D
And dressing rooms filled with parasites.
      A        G             D
On stage the band has got problems,
           A        D              A
They're a bag of nerves on first nights.
D             A      E         D
He ain't tied down to no home town,
A               G               D
Yeah, and he thought he was wreckless.
             A     E                 D
You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad,
A               G                    D
Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless.
          A      G          D
And his coat is torn and frayed,
      A           G     D
It's seen much better days.
      A           G           D
Just as long as the guitar plays
         A          D     A
Let it steal your heart away,
         A          D     A D A D A E D A G D A E D A G D
Let it steal your heart away.
D          A       E              D
Joe's got a cough, sounds kind a rough,
A               G            D
Yeah, and the codeine to fix it.
             A      E            D
Doctor prescribes, drug store supplies,
A       G                  D
Who's gonna help him to kick it
           A      G          D
Well his coat is torn and frayed,
      A          G      D
It`s seen much better days.
          A          G       D
Just as long as the guitar plays
        A           D    A
Let it steal your heart away,
       A            D    A  D A E D
Let it steal your heart away.
           A        G         D  A G D
Well this coat is torn and frayed
