"Shelf Life" by Love and Rockets
from _Sweet
F.
A._
special chord voicings:
A+/
D: xx0221
Dm7: xx0211
A+/
How many A&R men does it take to change a light bulb?
I'll get back to you on that
A+/
How many spells and dollars does it take to make the magic
of pulling legends from a hat
Will they take another sucker for an undersell
Regarding them with compliments and muskatelle
A honeymoon in Vegas in a plush hotel
Well, that's a sad town in the morning light
A+/
How many bullets in the back does it take to kill a singing cowboy?
A+/
And how much more of this bullshit can you take
From the charming envoy
When your making with the ballpoint on the dotted line
Devil's in his heaven and your hair sublime
You fit the mold for stardom and the big bells chime
But it's gold leaf on a wild, wild, wind
And they're serving up your future with a twist of lime
Paying you in dollars for the perfect crime
And you're scratching off the silver for a nail of grime
And pissing in the bitter wind
A+/
Last month's colour you're passed your sell by date
And your days are numbered
What is you shelf life?
Simple song, lots of chord changes (J wrote this one). Listen to the track
for the breaks and play verse chords. "End on Dm stroke", writes J.
