--
Intro G C D G C D

[G]There used to be a cafe a few blocks away,
[C]Open seven days, ca[D]lled 'The Brilliant Mis[G]take'[C][D]
[G]Where a crow-haired girl with scarlet lips
[C]And slender hips s[D]erved up coffee and c[G]ake[C][D]
On a [Am]crackling stereo the ghosts of Sun Ra,
[Em]Charlie Parker, Miles and Coltrane bl[D]ew[Dsus][D][Dsus]
[G]I'd kick back in my chair, that sweet honey'd jazz in the ai[C]r
[D]The sun shining through

[G]It was the nearest thing to hip
[Am]It was the nearest thing to hip
In this s[C]hthole? [D]and it's g[G]one
[G]It was the nearest thing to hip
[Am]It was the nearest thing to hip
In this s[C]hthole? [D]and it's g[G]one

[G] [C] [D] [G] [C] [D]
[G]Everywhere that I go I see streets that are low
[C]On distinction and high o[D]n the banl and the b[G]land[C][D]
[G]How did we get to this? We plumbed the abyss
By the tw[C]isted grace of the [D]law of supply and de[G]mand[C][D]
Well, there's [Am]no use crying and no use sighing over
[Em]Stone, wood, wire, glass and cem[D]en[Dsus]t[D][Dsus]
[G]But there's a little record store with a wooden floor
That ain't t[C]here no more that I u[D]sed to frequent

[G]It was the nearest thing to hip
[Am]It was the nearest thing to hip
In this s[C]hthole? [D]and it's g[G]one
[G]It was the nearest thing to hip
[Am]It was the nearest thing to hip
In this s[C]hthole? [D]and it's g[G]one

[Em]Now I need to get [D]out of this.. [C]hullabaloo[G]
[Em]And I remember an [D]old-fashioned bar [C]that I once k[G]new
[Bb]With an old-fashioned [Am]barman [C]wearing old-fashioned [G]clothes
[Am]But when I get there.. i[D]t's been bulldozed

[G]So I follow my nose down Comatose Lane
[C]Through the stripped back, ripped up [D]wastes of Woebegone Squ[G]are[C][D]
[G]Till I find myself on Deadbeat Street,
[C]My feet beginning to a[D]che, despair in the air[G][C][D]
[Am]The only thing bright in this blighted town
Are the[Em] billboard adverts everywhere d[D]is[Dsus]played[D] li[Dsus]ke mocking shades
[G]And the musty, dusty second-hand bookstore
Is now a [C]scum-encrusted amu[D]sement arcade

[G]It was the nearest thing to hip
[Am]It was the nearest thing to hip
In this s[C]hthole? [D]and it's g[G]one
[G]It was the nearest thing to hip
[Am]It was the nearest thing to hip
In this s[C]hthole? [D]and it's g[G]one

[G] [C] [D] .. [G]and it's gone

[G] [C] [D] [G]
