| I'm pretty unhappy with this transcription, so I'm going to do |
| more work on it, but here's what i have so far. I've had a real |
| problem pegging the exact chords for the opening -- even after seeing |
| Neil play this song a few times live. Use those chords which appear |
| in the intro only during that portion of the song. After that, you |
| should use the more traditional fingerings unless otherwise indicated. |
| There are "chords" in this that I don't even know the name of. (if |
| you do, send them to me at marck@nwu.edu!) I refer to them as G-special(1) |
| and G-special(2). |
| To match recording, capo on the first fret (up half-step) |

| Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave |
| Am G (x 4) |
| The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner |
| You wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek |
| And the sugar that dripped from the violins bow |
| Made the children go crazy, put a hole in the tooth of a hag |
| Can I have another piece of chocolate cake |
| Tammy Baker must be losing her faith |
| Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake |
| Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave |
| Am |
| And the dogs are on the road |
| D |
| We're all tempting fate |

| And here comes Mrs. Hairy Legs |
| (Chords under harmonica solo) Am G |
| I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a Seven Eleven |
| And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257 |
| The excess of fat on your American bones |
| Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone |
| Can I have another piece of chocolate cake |
| Tammy Baker, Tammy Baker ... |
| Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake |
| Cheap Picasso, cheap Picasso fake |
| Can I have another piece of chocolate cake |
| Kathy Straker, boy could she lose some weight |
| Can I buy another slice of real estate |
