This is my first tab, so I hope it's accurate enough!!
Intro:
Verse 1:
Hey let him follow you down,
Way underground, wind and he's bound.
Bound to follow you down,
Just a dead beat right off the street.
Bound to follow you down.
Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos
And dressing rooms filled with parasites.
On stage the band has got problems,
They're a bag of nerves on first nights.
Verse 2:
He ain't tied down to no home town,
Yeah, and he thought he was reckless.
You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad,
Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless.
Chorus:
And his coat is torn and frayed,
It's seen much better days.
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away.
Steal your heart away
Solo (Repeat verse 2)
Chorus:
And his coat is torn and frayed,
It's seen much better days.
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away.
Verse 3:
Joe's got a cough, seems kind of rough
Yeah, and the codeine can fix it.
Doctor prescribes, drug store supplies,
Who's gonna help him to kick it
Chorus: (x2)
And his coat is torn and frayed,
It's seen much better days.
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away.
Steal your heart away
The song fades out, and the chorus repeats.
