Silver Jews — Dallas
Album: The Natural Bridge Song: Dallas Tabbed by: D.C. Berman (intro: F to G) C-Am* I passed out on the fourteenth floor The CPR was so erotic A blizzard blew in through the door And little glowing cumbuckets in her ankles C (with pinky on 1st string, 3rd fret) Am O Dallas you shine with an evil light O Dallas you shine with an evil light How'd you turn a billion steers Into buildings made of mirrors And why I am drawn to you tonight? D-A Once you taste the geometry of a church in a cul-de-sac Em-F You're gonna wanna sit with the bad kids in the back Cruising down Commerce, killing time in the blazing sun Is it true your analyst was a place-kicker for the Falcons (repeat "intro") We saw B.B. King on General Hospital In the Oak Cliff dramhouse where we stayed And when Clancy whipped her with his belt buckle We cleaned her cuts and then we prayed O Dallas you shine with an evil light Don't you know that God stays up all night? How'd you turn a billion steers Into buildings made of mirrors And why am I drawn to you tonight? D-A Watching the make-up girls make out with the mannequins Em-F Hey boys, supper's on me, our record just went aluminum Poor as mouse every morning, rich as a cat every night Some kind of strange magic happens when a city turns on her lights *sounds like the record if you hammer on 3rd & 4th strings
