The Ballad Of Michael Valentine

Song: The Ballad of Michael Valentine

Artist: The Killers

Album: Sawdust

Tabbed by Fear-the-Reaper

Standard Tuning

One of the so many less popular great Killers songs. This is a really

simple basic way to play it. Enjoy :]

Intro:

Michael plays with stars

Soul Sister won't you take a ride in his car

Late to call

When you wanted to be all

Baby, baby, don't be so shy

Rock children hold your heads up high

In the night while I try

And tell the ballad of Valentine

You got it bad, but you know it's true

Verse:

I caught up with a friend in Dallas

We took a trip to New Orleans

Those black-eyed ladies

Won't say they're sorry

We finally caught a train to Memphis

Where everybody talks the same

Those blue suede babies

All know my name

Chrous:

And I said hold tight

Can't you see that it's hurting me

But I've got the buzz

Like Marlon Brando

Michael Valentine, can't we unite?

Verse:

We ended up in North Dakota

Although my heart's in Mexico

My muñequita

Abre tus ojos

With your new suit, and your black tie

Hold on, you're just a gambling man, all proper like

I broke to the right and I caught your eye

Shut your mouth and wave goodbye

Tonight, I ain't gonna let you rain on this parade

Chorus:

And I said hold tight

Can't you see that it's hurting me

But I've got the buzz

Like Marlon Brando

Straight faced with misery tonight

And I will not lie when I say I ain't cold no more

But I've got the buzz

Like Greta Garbo

Walking forward to the sun

And I've got a coat tail left to ride

Well uh oh

I know he's gonna be there tonight
