Based on the track from The Last Train To Mashville, Vol.2
This is a pretty slow choon on the album and there is some finger picking, hammering and
sliding but it?s all based on these chords I think so it?s a great one to improv on and
muck about with.
Intro
[A] [C] [D] [A] [C] [D]
I hi[A]t the dance floor around about midnight
Gin [C]and juice and I was feelin? fine[D]
C[A]ome the morning all the sounds went up
[C]Police man said the joint wa[D]s shut
[A]All the brothers gettin' busted outside
[C]Undercover officers readin' t[D]hem their rights
[A]It?s a one way ticket boys you?re prison bound
[C]The night the lights in Dallas [D]went down
Chorus
So
[A]How long we gotta wait until
[F]We get the keys to the mansion on[D] the hill[A]
[A]How long we gotta waste our time
[F]Boardin' a bus that's bound for t[D]he welfare line[A]
[A] [C] [D]
[A]She shakes the blues off then she tries her luck
[C]Makes a little bet, hopes her horse comes[D] up
[A]She?s pickin' pockets for some easy money
[C]Blew the damn lot on the lottery[D]
[A]She steals a paper, checks the front page
[C]Headlines read the dancehall can't [D]be saved
[A]How can they open up an opera house
[C]The night the lights in Dallas w[D]ent down
Chorus
So
[A]How long we gotta wait until
[F]We get the keys to the mansion on[D] the hill[A]
[A]How long we gotta waste our time
[F]Boardin' a bus that's bound fo[D]r the welfare line[A]
[A] [F] [D]
[D]Welfare lin[A]e?
[A] [C] [D]
[A]Tweek freak Tony on the four two eight
[C]Special branch sting right time wrong[D] place
[A]Columbian connections in the corridors of power
[C]Mean the man on the money ain't ever goin' down[D]
[A]Lord Lucky takes his lady to the Magic Flute

[A]Tony tunes the underground radio
[C]On the night the lights in Dallas we[D]nt down
Chorus
So
[A]How long we gotta wait until
