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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

D#m G#m C# B
