I can't believe this is nowhere to be found on the web. Well, there's one guy on
but the only thing he gets right are the words. So yeah. It's not an easy tab, and I'm not even
to go near that insane solo saxophone bit. This is just the basic chord
progression driving the song.
In my opinion this sounds much better without hitting any open strings.. most of the time.
It's in 6/8 time. Or 3/4. I never get that right.

Cmaj7 Dbm7b5 Dm7 Ebdim7
Tight-slacked clad girls on the graveyard shift
'Neath the Em7cement Fmaj7stroll
Catch the E7midnight Am7drift
Fmaj7Cigar chewing F7Charlie
In that Em7newspaper nestA7
grifting Dm7hot horse tips G7
On who's Cmaj7running the best C7

Cmaj7 Dbm7b5
And the moon's a silver slipper
It's pouring Dm7champagne Ebdim7stars
Em7Broadway's like a Fmaj7serpent
Pulling E7shiny top-down Am7cars
Fmaj7Laramer is F7teeming
With that Em7undulating A7beat
And some Dm7Bonneville is G9screaming

Hearts flutter and race
The Dm7moon's on the Ebdim7wane
Em7Tarts mutter their Fmaj7dream hopes
The E7night will Am7ordain
Fmaj7Come schemers and F7dancers

As a Dm7Cleveland-bound G9Greyhound
And it Cmaj7cuts through the nightC7
And I've Bm7harked all my yesterE7days
