| All the late night bargains |
| F#m |
| Have been struck |
| B C#m |
| Between the satin beaus |
| B C#7 F#m |
| And their belles |
| F#m |
| And prehistoric garbage trucks |
| Ddim7 E |
| Have the city to themselves |
| E F#m |
| Echoes roars dinosaurs |
| B C#m Eb/B C#7 |
| They're all doing the monster mash |
| F#m |
| And most of the taxis and most the whores |
| Ddim7 A |
| Are only taking calls for cash |
| A B B/A |
| I don't know how it happened |
| Abm A |
| It all took place so quick |
| A/B Abm A |
| But all I can do |
| B C#m Ebm7b5 |
| Is hand it to you |
| C#m |
| And your latest trick |

| Well now my door was standing open |
| B C#m B C#7 |
| Security was laid back and lax |
| F#m |
| But it was only my heart got broken |
| Ddim7 |
| You must have had a pass key made out of wax |
| E |
| You played robbery with insolence |
| F#m B |
| And I played the blues in twelve bars |
| C#m B/Eb C#7 |
| Down Lover's Lane |
| F#m |
| And you never did have |
| F#m |
| The inteligence to use |
| Ddim7 A |
| The twelve keys hanging off my chain |
| A B B/A |
| I don't know how it happened |
| Abm A |
| It all took place so quick |
| A/B Abm A |
| But all I can do |
| B C#m Ebm7b5 |

| Now it's past last call for alcohol |
| B C#m B C#7 |
| Past recall has been here and gone |
| F#m |
| The landlord finally paid us all |
| Ddim7 |
| The satin jazzmen have put away their horns |
| E |
| And we're standing outside |
| E F#m |
| Of this wonderland |
| B C#m B/Eb C#7 |
| Looking so bereaved and so bereft |
| F#m |
| Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands |
| Ddim7 |
| The bottle's empty |
| A |
| And there's nothing left |
| A B B/A |
| I don't know how it happened |
| Abm Aadd9 A |
| It was faster than the eye could flick |
| A/B Abm A |
| But all I can do |
| B C#m Ebm7b5 |
| Is hand it to you |
| Abm C#m |
| And your latest trick |
| Repeat Bridge x2 |
