Eb Bb
This old town is filled with sin
Eb7 Ab
It will swallow you in
Eb Bb Bb7
If you've got some money to burn
Eb Bb
Take it home right away
Bb Eb7 Ab
You've got three years to pay
Eb Bb7 Eb Eb7
But Satan is waiting his turn
Ab Bb7 Eb Eb7
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
Ab Eb Bb
It seems like this whole town's insane
Ab Bb7 Eb Eb7 Ab
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Eb Bb7 Eb Bb
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
Eb Bb
The scientists say
Eb7 Ab
It will all wash away
Eb Bb Bb7
But we don't believe any more
Eb Bb
Cause we've got our recruits
Eb7 Ab
And our green mohair suits
Eb Bb7 Eb Eb7
So please show your I.D. At the door
Ab Bb7 Eb Eb7
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
Ab Eb Bb7
It seems like this whole town's insane
Ab Bb7 Eb Eb7 Ab
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Eb Bb7 Eb Bb
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
SOLO
Eb Bb
A friend came around
Eb7 Ab
Tried to clean up this town
Eb Bb Bb7
His ideas made some people mad
Eb Bb
But he trusted his crowd
Eb7 Ab
So he spoke right out loud
Eb Bb7 Eb Eb7
And they lost the best friend they had
Ab Bb7 Eb Eb7
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
Ab Eb Bb7
It seems like this whole town's insane
Ab Bb7 Eb Eb7 Ab
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Eb Bb7 Eb Eb7
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
Ab Bb7 Eb Eb7 Ab
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Eb Bb7 Ab Eb
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
