Codeine Velvet Club - Hollywood
I?m not sure how accurate this tab is but this is how I?m playing it on an acoustic
guitar. Don?t be put off by the odd sounding chords. They generally entail making a basic
chord shape and then moving your index finger around a bit; eg the chorus starts C
whilst hammering the second finger on and off. Lyrics in brackets are backing vocals.

All dressed up to go for the final scene

Here comes the dread they fed me in last night's dream

She's got too much class for the likes of me
(I'll stay but don't make me nervous)

Lost in the haze of yester- days mem - or - y
(Don't think that you don't deserve us)

Crying all the way to the bank on the bullet train
(But crying don't get you nowhere)

I couldn't see the en ? e- my till he was close behind
FGC
Waltzing blind, through my mind

And if the lights should freeze oh please don't make it him or me
C
Then we'll see
This city is a monument to bad taste in vain
(Hooray for Hollywood break, out the search lights above)
But I couldn't tear myself away, so I can't complain
(Send out the substitutes, tonight we'll be makin' love)
Crawling in deaf and dumb for the losers ball
(Here's to the house on the hill and the thrill of it all)
Sinking in a tidal wave of alcohol
How could I miss it's come to this Hollywood final scene, make it clean
And if the lights should freeze oh please don't make it him or me
Then we'll see
Look out below this heart will blow Hollywood style tonight
It don't seem right
