Intro: E 

    E 
The Skulls met the Pythons 
     A                   E 
Down at the First Street station 
                    C#m          G#m 
Alliances have been made in alleyways 
    F#m        B 
All across the nation 
           E 
These boys live off the milk of a silver jet 
         A                  E 
And the love of sweet young women 
                    C#m           G#m 
Now the Pythons are down from old Englishtown 
    F#m                        B 
And they're lookin' to do some livin' 
         E 
Well the leader of the Pythons 
     A                  E 
Is a kid they just call Zero 
                     C#m                 G#m 
Now Terry's pop says these kids are some kind of monsters 
                F#m                         B 
But Terry says "No, pop, they're just plain heroes" 
    E     E     A     E     E C#m     G#m     F#m     B     

(Sax solo)     E     E     A     E     E C#m     G#m     F#m     B 

A                   E                 B               E 
Zero and Terry they found a love that burns like wild fire 
            A                          E 
Now Terry's daddy understood that this Zero was no good 
  B                        A 
A child, a thief and a liar 
          C#m 
Well from out of the darkness that breaks the dawn 
G#m 
Zero rode like twilight 
         C#m                  A 
He said "Tonight's the night, Blind Terry, come on" 
E              B              A 
Terry come on, tonight is the night 
                B    E 
Pack your bags, baby 
    A                      B                           E 
And together they ran like reindeers through the street 
     A            B                           E 
Like tomorrow the earth was gonna catch up on fire 
            A                               B   E                         A 
Now Terry's dad hired some troopers to kill Zero and bring Terry back home 
                            B  E 
They crawled up in the night 
     A        B  E 
Like firelight 
E     A     B     E     E     A     B     E     E     A     B     A     B 
Oooh... 
         E 
Now snow-white troopers from the council of crime 
            A                     E 
Rode silver foxes through Terry's field 
                C#m             G#m     
Oh they met the Pythons down on Route 9 
F#m                 B 
But they refused to yield 
    E 
The Pythons fought with buzz guns 
        A                         E 
And the troopers with swords like light 
             C#m        G#m 
And Zero and Terry they ran away 
       F#m                         B 
As the gang fought all through the night 

(Sax solo)     E     E     A     E     E C#m     G#m     F#m     B     E 

Well now some folks say Zero and Terry got away 
       A                                 E 
Others said they were caught and brought back 
                     C#m              G#m 
But still them young pilgrims to this day 
           F#m                           B 
Go to that spot way down by the railroad track 
          E                       A 
Where the Troopers met the Pythons 
    E                   A 
Old timers cry on a hot August night 
       E                        A 
If you look hard enough, if you try 
             E                 A 
You'll catch Zero and Terry and all the Pythons 
        E                         A 
Oh just hiking the streets of the sky 
              E                         A 
Just walkin', hiking the streets of the sky 
     E                         A 
Just hiking the streets of the sky
