Remove Ads
EmMy old man is a bad man but
I can't deny the way he holds my hand
Am EmAnd he grabs me, he has me by my heart
He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
AmHe doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about me
EmHe loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart
 
(Em)Swimming pool glimmering darling
White bikini off with my red nail polish
AmWatch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples
EmYou sit sippin' on your black Cristal, yeah
 
 
(Em)Light of my life, fire of my loins
Be a good baby, do what I want
AmLight of my life, fire of my loins
EmGive me them gold coins, gimme them coins
 
 
(Em)And I'm off to the races, cases
of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town
AmCuz he knows I'm wasted, facing
Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out
DBecause I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
CI'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
EmReady for you
 
 
(Em)My old man is a tough man but
He got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
AmAnd he shows me, he knows me
EmEvery inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life
AmIn fact he says he thinks it's why he might like about me
EmAdmires 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 EmGlass 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
AmLight of your life, fire of your loins
EmTell me you own me, gimme them coins
 
 
(Em)And I'm off to the races, cases
of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town
AmCuz he knows I'm wasted, facing
Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out
DBecause I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
CI'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
 
EmNow I'm off to the races, laces
Leather on my waist is tight and I am fallin' down
AmI can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's basement
Love you but I'm going down
DGod I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
CI'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island
Raising hell all over town
EmSorry 'bout it
 
Am EmMy old man is a thief and I'm gonna stay and pray with him 'til the end
D AmBut I trust in the decision of the lord to watch over us
Take him when he may, if he may
Em DI'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him
AmWho else is gonna put up with me this way?
I need you, I breathe you, I never leave you
Em DThey would rue the day I was alone without you
AmYou're lying with your gold chain on, cigar hanging from your lips
Em DI said "Hon' you never looked so beautiful as you do now, my man."
 
 
EmAnd we're off to the races, places
Ready, set the gate is down and now we're goin' in
Amto Las Vegas pay us, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spin
DBoy you're so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybe
C Em, Am, DYou are my one true love, you are my one true love
 
CYou are my one true love
 
Em, Am, D, C
