So this tab's a bit hard to write out exactly where the chords change. But it basically

follows the same [Em] - [Am] - [Em] format for the verses and if you listen to the song you'll

be able to hear them. For better understanding I put the parts where it stays on Em

(where the chord continues) in brackets just so people know I wasn't leaving out a spot

there. I figured it out on piano and haven't played it on guitar but I would think it

would transpose pretty much the same, let me know any suggestions.

Verse 1

[Em]

My old man is a bad man but

I can't deny the way he holds my hand

[Am] [Em]

And he grabs me, he has me by my heart

He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past

[Am]

He doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about me

[Em]

He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart

([Em])

Swimming pool glimmering darling

White bikini off with my red nail polish

[Am]

Watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples

[Em]

You sit sippin' on your black Cristal, yeah

Pre-Chorus

([Em])

Light of my life, fire of my loins

Be a good baby, do what I want

[Am]

Light of my life, fire of my loins

[Em]

Give me them gold coins, gimme them coins

Chorus

([Em])

And I'm off to the races, cases

of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town

[Am]

Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing

Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out

[D]

Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me

[C]

I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden

Kiss me on my open mouth

[Em]

Ready for you

Verse 2

([Em])

My old man is a tough man but

He got a soul as sweet as blood red jam

[Am]

And he shows me, he knows me

[Em]

Every inch of my tar black soul

He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life

[Am]

In fact he says he thinks it's why he might like about me

[Em]

Admires me, the way I roll like a Rolling Stone

([Em])

Likes to watch me in the glass room bathroom, Chateau Marmont

Slippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeup

[Am] [Em]

Glass room perfume Cognac lilac fume

Says it feels like heaven to him

Pre-Chorus

([Em])

Light of his life, fire of his loins

Keep me forever, tell me you own me

[Am]

Light of your life, fire of your loins

[Em]

Tell me you own me, gimme them coins

Chorus

([Em])

And I'm off to the races, cases

of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town

[Am]

Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing

Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out

[D]

Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me

[C]

I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden

Kiss me on my open mouth

Verse 3

[Em]

Now I'm off to the races, laces

Leather on my waist is tight and I am fallin' down

[Am]

I can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's basement

Love you but I'm going down

[D]

God I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving

[C]

I'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island

Raising hell all over town

[Em]

Sorry 'bout it

Chorus

[Am] [Em]

My old man is a thief and I'm gonna stay and pray with him 'til the end

[D] [Am]

But I trust in the decision of the lord to watch over us

Take him when he may, if he may

[Em] [D]

I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him

[Am]

Who else is gonna put up with me this way?

I need you, I breathe you, I never leave you

[Em] [D]

They would rue the day I was alone without you

[Am]

You're lying with your gold chain on, cigar hanging from your lips

[Em] [D]

I said "Hon' you never looked so beautiful as you do now, my man."

Outro

[Em]

And we're off to the races, places

Ready, set the gate is down and now we're goin' in

[Am]

to Las Vegas pay us, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spin

[D]

Boy you're so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybe

[C] [Em] [Am] [D]

You are my one true love, you are my one true love

[C]

You are my one true love

[Em] [Am] [D] [C]
