Squeeze - Dark Saloons Chords

[Intro]
      A#             F
Na-na na na-na na-na na
      A#             D
Na-na na na-na na-na na
 
[Verse 1]
   G             D
In dark saloons across the world
        Em             B
There’s horny boys and tired girls
      C                     D
Their legs are crossed, his eyes are red
    G               Em
The smoky room, the sweaty bed
      C                     F
Where dreams are laced with dollar bills
  E                   D
Excitement reigns and sex can kill
   G               Em
In dimly lit, wan, dusty rooms
    C              F
And down below the old Jack croons
   E                    D
On bedside plates where money folds
    G                D
And in the bar, each story’s told
     Em                 B
With slur and slur, and drag by drag,
    C                 D
The best handjob he’s ever had
 
[Chorus]
G           Em      G            C
Love is the theory, it’s not the fashion
E            F            Am
To wear your passion on a clear day
Am                      G        Em
Take a look around you, anger is potent
G           C
When it’s exposing
E             F                 Am
Then you take notice this can’t be love
                               C               D C G A
I get no dizzy spells from Beethoven or George Jones
      A#             F
Na-na na na-na na-na na
      A#             D
Na-na na na-na na-na na
 
[Verse 2]
   G             D
In dark saloons across the world
  Em              B
I hear the cry of tired girls
    C               D
Who stand to make a meal tonight
    G               Em
The hungry kids who play outside
   C                F
In mucky streets by rusty cars
     E              D
That slowly park by crowded bars
    G                 Em
And there she is with big, fat man
    C                F
The tattered rags on stubbly hands
   E                     D
He drops his strides and babbles on
    G                 D
His English base, his marbles gone
    Em               B
And so the work gets truly peachy
C               D
Takes his money and his speech
 
[Chorus]
G           Em      G            C
Love is the theory, it’s not the fashion
E            F            Am
To wear your passion on a clear day
Am                      G        Em
Take a look around you, anger is potent
G           C
When it’s exposing
E             F                 Am
Then you take notice this can’t be love
                               C               D C G Am
I get no dizzy spells from Beethoven or George Jones
