The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys (live)

Key: AmCapo 5Hard

Am7

C/G

Am7BmAAm7BmA

If you Am7see something that looks like a BmstaAr,

And it's Am7shooting up out of the BmgroAund.

And your Am7head is spinning from a loud BmguiAtar,Am7 Bm A

And you jAm7ust can't escape from the BmsouAnd.

Don't Am7worry too much, it'll happen to BmyouA,

Am7We were children once, playing with BmtoyAs. Am7 Bm A

And the Athing that you're hearing is Eonly the sound of,

The Glow spark of Dhigh-heeled Cboys.

Instrumental BRIDGE 1:

D7GD7GD7

The percentage you're paying is Dtoo high A7a price,

While you're living beyond Dall your A7means.

And the man in the suit has just bought Da new A7car,

From the C/Gprofit he's Gmade on your Ddreams.

But C/Gtoday you Gjust read that Dthe man C/Gwas shot Gdead,

By a C/Ggun that Gdidn't make any Dnoise.C/G G

But it Awasn't the bullet that Elaid him to rest, was,

The Glow spark of Dhigh-heeled Cboys. (High-heeled boys)

:: Instrumental ::

Am7BmAAm7BmA

If you Am7had just a minute to BmbreAathe,

And they Am7granted you one final BmwisAh.

Would you Am7ask for something like another cBmhanAce? Am7 Bm A

Or Am7something sim'lar as BmthiAs?

Am7Don't worry too much, it?ll happen to BmyouA,

Am7As sure as your sorrows are BmjoyAs. Am7 Bm A

And the Athing that disturbs you is Eonly the sound of,

The Glow spark of Dhigh-heeled Cboys.

A7The percentage you're paying is tDoo high a pA7rice,

While you're living Dbeyond all your A7means.

And the man in the suit has just Dbought a A7new car,

From the C/Gprofit he's Gmade on your Ddreams.

But C/Gtoday you just Gread that tC/Ghe man was Gshot dead,

By a C/Ggun that didn't Gmake any Dnoise.C/G G

But it Awasn't the bullet that Elaid him to rest, was,

The Glow spark of Dhigh-heeled Cboys. (?heeled boys)

If I gave yAm7ou everything that I BmownAed,

And Am7asked for nothing in BmretAurn.

Would you Am7do the same for me as I would for BmyouA? Am7 Bm A

Or Am7take me for a BmridAe,

And Am7strip me of everything, including my BmpriAde.

Am7But spirit is something that no one BmdesAtroys.Am7 Bm A

And the Asound that I'm hearing is Eonly the sound, of,

The Glow spark of Dhigh-heeled Cboys. (heeled boys)

repeat intro

You don't need a lawyer

When you're in a fix

Someone gets the payoff

You're friends are full of tricks

Happiness is something

That you just can't find

Own up to the truth girl

You're living with your mind

Sugar daddy brings you flowers

You just hang him up and

Keep him waiting there for hours

And you should see the look on his face

As you slide down the rail
