Em Em
My old man is a bad man but
I can't deny the way he holds my hand
Am Am Em Em
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart
He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
Am Am
He doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about me
Em Em
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart

Em Em
Swimming pool glimmering darling
White bikini off with my red nail polish
Am Am
Watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples
Em Em
You sit sippin' on your black Cristal, yeah


Em Em
Light of my life, fire of my loins
Be a good baby, do what I want
Am Am
Light of my life, fire of my loins
Em Em
Give me them gold coins, gimme them coins


Em Em
And I'm off to the races, cases
of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town
Am Am
Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing
Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out
D D
Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
C C
I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
Em Em
Ready for you


Em Em
My old man is a tough man but
He got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
Am Am
And he shows me, he knows me
Em Em
Every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life
Am Am
In fact he says he thinks it's why he might like about me
Em Em
Admires me, the way I roll like a Rolling Stone


Em Em
Likes to watch me in the glass room bathroom, Chateau Marmont
Slippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeup
Am Am Em Em
Glass room perfume Cognac lilac fume
Says it feels like heaven to him


Em Em
Light of his life, fire of his loins
Keep me forever, tell me you own me
Am Am
Light of your life, fire of your loins
Em Em
Tell me you own me, gimme them coins


Em Em
And I'm off to the races, cases
of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town
Am Am
Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing
Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out
D D
Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
C C
I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth

Em Em
Now I'm off to the races, laces
Leather on my waist is tight and I am fallin' down
Am Am
I can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's basement
Love you but I'm going down
D D
God I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
C C
I'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island
Raising hell all over town
Em Em
Sorry 'bout it

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


Em Em
And we're off to the races, places
Ready, set the gate is down and now we're goin' in
Am Am
to Las Vegas pay us, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spin
D D
Boy you're so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybe
C C Em Em, Am Am, D D
You are my one true love, you are my one true love

C C
You are my one true love

Em Em, Am Am, D D, C C
