Fm
My old man is a bad man but
I canʼt deny the way he holds my hand
     A#m                Fm
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart
He doesnʼt mind I have a Las Vegas past
                          A#m
He doesnʼt mind I have an LA crass way about me
                Fm
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart

Fm
Swimming pool glimmering darling
White bikini off with my red nail polish
A#m
Watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples
           Fm
You sit sippinʼ on your black Cristal, yeah

Fm
Light of my life, fire of my loins
Be a good baby, do what I want
A#m
Light of my life, fire of my loins
                 Fm
Give me them gold coins, gimme them coins

             Fm
And Iʼm off to the races, cases
of Bacardi chasers, chasinʼ me all over town
           A#m
Cuz he knows Iʼm wasted, facing
Time again on Rikerʼs Island and I wonʼt get out
        D#
Because Iʼm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
           C#
Iʼm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
       Fm
Ready for you

Fm
My old man is a tough man but
He got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
     A#m
And he shows me, he knows me
    Fm
Every inch of my tar black soul
He doesnʼt mind I have a flat broke down life
                                 A#m
In fact he says he thinks itʼs why he might like about me
               Fm
Admires me, the way I roll like a Rolling Stone

Fm
Likes to watch me in the glass room bathroom, Chateau Marmont
Slippinʼ on my red dress, puttinʼ on my makeup
A#m                    Fm
Glass room perfume Cognac lilac fume
Says it feels like heaven to him

Fm
Light of his life, fire of his loins
Keep me forever, tell me you own me
A#m
Light of your life, fire of your loins
Fm
Tell me you own me, gimme them coins

             Fm
And Iʼm off to the races, cases
of Bacardi chasers, chasinʼ me all over town
                 A#m
Cuz he knows Iʼm wasted, facing
Time again on Rikerʼs Island and I wonʼt get out
        D#
Because Iʼm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
           C#
Iʼm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth

             Fm
Now Iʼm off to the races, laces
Leather on my waist is tight and I am fallinʼ down
          A#m
I can see your face is shameless, Ciprianiʼs basement
Love you but Iʼm going down
       D#
God Iʼm so crazy, baby, Iʼm sorry that Iʼm misbehaving
           C#
Iʼm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island
Raising hell all over town
        Fm
Sorry ʼbout it

A#m                                    Fm
My old man is a thief and Iʼm gonna stay
and pray with him ʼtil the end
    D#                    A#m
But I trust in the decision of the lord to watch over us
Take him when he may, if he may
Fm                    D#
Iʼm not afraid to say that Iʼd die without him
            A#m
Who else is gonna put up with me this way?
I need you, I breathe you, I never leave you
Fm                  D#
They would rue the day I was alone without you
A#m
Youʼre lying with your gold chain on,
cigar hanging from your lips
                        Fm        D#
I said "Honʼ you never looked so beautiful
as you do now, my man."

              Fm
And weʼre off to the races, places
Ready, set the gate is down and now weʼre goinʼ in
     A#m
to Las Vegas pay us, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spin
          D#
Boy youʼre so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybe
        C#                          Fm A#m D#
You are my one true love, you are my one true love
       C#
You are my one true love

Fm A#m D# C#
