This is a chords for album version of the song. Please note that live version contains
exact same verses, but on album part of verses alternates between [B-C#m-B-C#] and
[B-C#m-B/D#-C#/F] all three times. Live version also have [E-F#m] progression after 'All
I can do' instead of [E/G#-A]. Note suspended chords in the intro, you can simplify it
to B and
B/A or play it like sus in the song too.
Also I checked tones of tabs and chords and even official books and paid sheet music are
wrong. The most 'jazzy chord' in the song is just D9. And note the incredible G#7#9
just before outro solo, it was played both on album and live. It just breathtaking. Good luck!

All the l[E]ate night bargains have been struck[F#m]
Between the s[B]atin beaus [C#m]and their b[B]elles[C#] [F#m]
Prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the c[D9]ity to themselves[E]
Echoes and roars, dinosaurs[F#m]
B C#m B/D# [cb]C#/F[/cb]
They're all doing the monster mash
And m[F#m]ost of the taxis, most of the whores

Well, now, my d[E]oor was standing open[F#m]
Sec[B]urity was l[C#m]aid back and l[B]ax[C#]
But it was [F#m]only my heart got a-broken
You must have had a p[D9]ass key made out of wax
You played r[E]obbery with insolence
F#m B C#m B/D# [cb]C#/F[/cb]
And I played the blues in twelve bars down on Lover's Lane
And you n[F#m]ever did have the intelligence to use
The twelve k[D9]eys hanging off of my chain

Well, now, it's p[E]ast last call for alcohol[F#m]
Past r[B]ecall has been h[C#m]ere and gone[B] [C#]
The l[F#m]andlord he finally paid us all
The satin j[D9]azzmen have put away their horns
And we're st[E]anding outside of this wonderland[F#m]
B C#m B/D# [cb]D#/F[/cb]
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a B[F#m]owery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's [D9]empty and there's nothing left

I don't know how it h[B]appened[B/A]
