a   g                   d

hey let them follow you down

d        a      e             d

way undergound, wind and he`s bound

a      g             d

bound to follow you down

d           a    e               d

just a deadbeat, right off the street

a     g               d

bound to follow you down





a       g             d

though ball rooms and smelly bordellos

        a             g                d

and dressing rooms filled with parasites

      a         g                d

on stage, the band has got problems

        a         d           a           a d a

theyre a bag of nerves on first nights





a        g           d

he aint tied down to no home town



yeh and you thought he was reckless



you think hes bad, he thinks youre mad



yeh, and the guitar player looks reckless
