Dm7                     G7 
At night in the safety of shadows and numbers 
Dm7                        G7 
Seeking some turf on which nothing encumbers 
    Dm7                   G7 
The buying and selling of casual looks 
Dm7                        G7 
Stuff that gets printed in x-rated books 
     Am                              G 
Your mother might have tried to understand 
              Am                         G 
When you were hardly your daddy's little man 
        Fmaj7                G 
And you gave up saluting the chief 
    G7sus4            C      Dm/C         C 
To find yourself some relief 

Dm7                         G7 
Finely plucked eyebrows and skin of satin 
Dm7                   G7 
Smiling seductive and endlessly Latin 
  Dm7           G7 
Olympic body on dancing feet 
Am                     G 
Perfume thickening the air like heat 
  Am                        G 
A transient star of gay bar fame 
    Am                             G 
You quit your job and changed your name 
           Fmaj7           G 
And you're nearly beyond belief 
    G7sus4            C      Dm/C         C 
As you hunt down a little relief 

    Dm7                       G7 
The seven foot black with the emerald ring 
Dm7                      G7 
Broke up a fight without saying a thing 
       Dm7                     G7 
As the cops cruised by wanting one more chance 
   Am                      G 
To send Jimmy Baldwin back over to France 
      Am                      G 
And a trucker with kids and a wife 
   Am                         G 
Prefers to spend half of his life 
   Fmaj7            G 
In early Bohemian motif 
        G7sus4              C      Dm/C       C 
Playing pool and getting relief 

   Dm7                 G7 
My favorite couple was looking so fine 
Dm7                   G7 
Dancing in rhythm and laughing in rhyme 
       Dm7                      G7 
In the light of the jukebox all yellow and blue 
Am                    G 
Holding each other as young lovers do 
   Am                    G 
To me they will always remain 
   Am                    G 
Unshamed, untamed, and unblamed 
    Fmaj7             G 
The altar boy and the thief 
G7sus4                   C      Dm/C    C 
Grabbing themselves some relief 

    Am                G 
The altar boy and the thief 
G7sus4              C     G7   C 
Catching a little relief
