    C7 f7 c g7

    C7 f7
    You let me in and i'll help you win
    C7 g7
    This chance must be heaven sent
    C7 f7
    You buy the time i sold you all mine
    C7 g7
    No-one knows the d. j.'s bent
    C7 f7
    I don't care if someone gets hurt
    C7 g7
    When i lose it feels like dirt
    C7 f7
    Other records, they get played,
    C7 g7
    Kick some heads in you get paid

    F c f c
    Man - oeu - vres, man - oeu - vres
    C f g c f g
    Baby don't ever make me wait fools and angels hesitate
    Em g f c7 f7 c7 f7
    My whole life is one more move too late

    C7 f7
    Here comes a man you just got to meet,
    C7 g7
    Shake his hand and kiss his feet
    C7 f7
    He claims the time is coming soon,
    C7 g7
    The first pop music on the moon
    C7 f7
    The agent of the devil's a hip shakin fool,
    C7 g7
    If he don't like you that aint cool.
    C7 f7
    He's left already that's ok
    C7 g7
    We don't need him anyway

    F c f c
    Man - oeu - vres, man - oeu - vres
    C f g c f g
    Baby don't ever don't make me wait fools and angels hesitate
    Em g f c
    My whole life is one more move too late

    Downtown l.a. madam wong's,
    C7 g7
    Someone puts a tape on a couple of songs
    C7 f7
    Advertising the place next door
    C7 g7
    Madam finds out she'll sure gets sure
    C7 f7
    Out come the coolies, swinging their lead
    C7 g7
    Get those rockers, take their heads
    C7 f7
    Those poor souls must pay the price
    C7 g7
    They wind up in tomorrow's fried rice

    Em g f c7
