I was sitting outside 

one night, and...
 
A                        D        
The moon hung like a shadow on a  
                A
rung over Shanghai 
F#m                              
Them soldier boys were returning 
                   E
home screaming "Banzai"
A
And the kids are still playing their game
A                                        F#m
Getting hustled and rustled out in the rain
           Bm              A           E
As I sat inside listening to the broadcast
A                        E              
Oh, save my soul, sweet rock and roll, 
          A
'cause I'm sinkin' fast
 
And then the band played
 
 
 
A                           D      
Now the legendary chaplain of the 
                            A
 fighting 51st was getting ready to go
F#m                                         
I said, "Padre, do you know a cheap virgin
            E
 who likes to tango?"
A                                   
He said, "You can try Linda Lee", 
                             F#m
around the corner and across the sea
        Bm          A            E
Word is out, word is out she's fast
A                      E      
Well, blow me down now, Linda, 
              A
'cause I'm sinkin' fast
 
 
F#m                                 
Yes, and them cats are sure getting   
                      E
fat down in the train yard 
Bm                                    
And the sandman brings them dreams to 
              A
ship out in the boxcars
Bm                    
The union says, "Hold.
                  F#m
" Break out the dice,

 break out the gold
D                   E
It's lunchtime at last
 
      A                   
And old big Mama said, 
                                  E
"George Raft's tonight on the late show"
D                                     
She sits straddling a kitchen chair, 
          E
really gung-ho  
F#m                        
She shivers with chills, 
             Bm
wet with slot car thrills 
A                        E
Hypnotically lost in the glass
            G                    E
And we all sigh with the sunrise
E
As we watch the credits pass
 
A                        D                  
And then the morning cloak fell down like a
      A
hoax over Sleepy Town
F#m                              
And garbage truck vigilantes out 
              E
making the last rounds
Bm                                   
The inheritor he sipped his beer and 
              F#m
poked cute fun of the queer
D                          E
And threatened to kick his butt
 
One, two, three, ow!

It's on the radio and 

he listened to the bass man
 
                              
And the boys in the band sang 
   A                E
(Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho)
 A                             F#m
That's right (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho)
A                              E
I'm so excited (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho)
A                          F#m
Everybody (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho)
A                  
And the band played 
        E
(Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho)
A                              F#m
Everybody (Whoa whoa whoa wo-whoa)
