C5                         E5
The man walks down from the 99
     A5                                F5
He's got holes in the pockets he's got too much style
C5                E5
He's going down, down to town
A5                       F5
To meet some pals and to get a bit high

C5   E5   A5   F5
Coming back with 79
So much things on his troubled mind
Vains full of whiskey
And brain full of wine

( C5   E5   A5   F5 )

C5                F5               G5
So he gets high, so he gets high, so he gets high tonite
C5                F5               G5
So he gets high, so he gets high, so he gets high tonite

( C5   F5   G5   C5   F5   G5 )
She's not everybody he thinks he's the one
Sitting on the pavement out of time
He won't listen to those swines
He'll break his bottle and flight

The man walks down from the 99
He's got holes in his pockets he's got too much style
He's going down, down to town
To meet some pals and to get a bit high

So he gets high, so he gets high, so he gets high tonite   (2x)

He's got dreams in right eye
And hope in the left one
You have a lover for tonite
He's got music till he dies
