Here are the song chords . Notice that the Time signature is 2/2 . 
The last 12 bars of the song contain an instrumental ending that I've tabbed  also ( see its TAB)

Verse 2 :

Hot licks and rhetoric don't count much for nothing
Be glad if you can use what you borrow.
So I pawn my crown, for a ride uptown
and buy it back tomorrow .

Verse 3 :

Done like a matador, I pray for the weekend
and hope the little girls still throw roses
Else I change my bait, and move upstate
before the season closes .
