VERSE 1: 
 
Am                          G6 
 While the music played you worked by candle light 
      F6/9                                Bb13 
Those San Fransisco nights, they were the best in town 
Am                            G6 
 Just by chance you crossed a diamond with a pearl 
    F6/9                                    Bb13 
You turned it on the world, that's when you turned the world around 
F6          G        Am      G6            Dm7    Em7 Dm7 
  Did you feel like Jesus      Did you realise 
                 Em7               F7M   Em7  Dm7 
That you were a champion in their eyes ? 
C7/9+ 
 
 
VERSE 2: 
On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene 

But yours was kitchen clean 

Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolour motorhome 

Every A-frame had your number on the wall 

You must have had it all 

You'd go to LA on a dare and you'd go it alone 

Could you live forever 

Could you see the day 

Did you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away 
 
CHORUS : 
 
Dm7      Em7       Dm7      Em7 
Get along            Get along Kid Charlemagne 
Dm7     Em7                F7    G7     C7 
 Get along Kid Charlemagne 
 
VERSE 3: 
Now your patrons have all left you in the red 

Your low rent friends are dead 

This life can be very strange 

All those day-glo freaks who used to paint their face 

They've joined the human race, some things will never change 

Son you were mistaken 

You are obsolete, look at all the white men on the street

VERSE 4: 
Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail 

Those test tubes and the scales, just get it all out of here 

Is there gas in the car ? 

Yes there's gas in the car 

I think the people down the hall know who you are 

Careful what you carry 

Cause the man is wise 

You are still an outlaw in their eyes
