Intro

Am  G (x4)



        Am
We were martyred in the homes of our friends 

     G
on a hard drinking decade of weekends 

   Am
convinced that we were firing 

    G
our lasers to the surface of the moon

Am
retreat to all the noise, out to the places that 

G
we would go 

Am
pound that pussy, bloody swollen cyst off with a 

G
weather-treated two by four

F
praying for the singularity 

C                       G
coming for to carry you home 

F
one-time hero forgotten how 

   C                   G
to carry your given load




F                                    Am G      Dm  F
Hey, hey, Doris Day send my love for me now 

F                                           Am G
please, please, Glen Shirley, say hello for me now 

              
Dm   F   Dm   F   Am   G   Am   G




Am
Chico the American taught me to drink clear 

      G
which ushered in the Age of Gin and lead to the Gimlet Years

        Am
When he lobbed that crystal tumbler through the glass cooler door 

         G
past the blues band in the strip mall with a barrel-chested roar 
      
       F                                 
it was just as funny but less blood   

          C         G
than the ‘62 Dakota war 

F
praying for the singularity 

C                       G
coming for to carry you home 




F                                    Am G      Dm  F
Hey, hey, Jon Benet send my love for me now 

F                                           Am G
please, please, Dom de Louise say hello for me now 

             Dm                 F
say hello to Chico the American

   Dm                 F
to Chico the American
   
   Dm                 F
to Chico the American

   Dm             F Dm  F  Dm  F
to Chico the American
