Chinatown Chords

   
Figured this out while watching the "Sleepover Shows" video.  You're going to have 
to listen and play around a little bit to find the right strumming pattern, but 
once you get that, it's pretty simple.

All open chords, but I might have mislabeled "B7"

          Em        G               Am     Em
There's a cold wind blowin down the ninety nine
        Em                 G               B7         Em
And the ghosts of New York City they'll be doin' just fine
          Em               G             Am           Em
When that little Smith & Wesson went and lit   up the night
        Em              G               B7          Em
All she show'd when she heard were them cold pearly whites
Am                    Em
  None of them kisses dropped down in the hole
          Am                      Em
While the midnight sun played the starring role
          Em               Am
Was gonna turn around that black Cadillac
G                                            B7
Filled with little white rails those are the cold hard facts
   Em               G   Am   Em          Em             Am
So when you're done dancing      and the rain     slows down
      C              G              B7   Em   G  Am  Em  Em  G  B7  Em
We'll all meet up at Eddy's o'er in chinatown
        Em                 G              Am         Em
Now you think you know the answer but you got it all wrong
        Em       G                        B7      Em
And the days too short and the nights are way too long
    Em         G                     Am       Em
you wake up to find your whole world falling apart
     Em           G            B7     Em
In a fifty dollar dress over a broken heart
Am                             Em
  Dig in the dirt while you're dancin with the dogs
Am             Em
   Roll around lost in the fog
Em                         Am
Bangin' on tomorrow like a big black drum
G                       B7
Kick your head back and spit at the sun
   Em               G   Am   Em          Em             Am
So when you're done dancing      and the lights     go down
      C              G              B7   Em   G  Am  Em  Em  G  B7  Em
We'll all meet up at Eddy's o'er in chinatown
          Em           G             Am           Em
There's a fifty on the table there's trouble down the line
  Em    G              B7             Em
200,000 dollars in a bag they'll never find
    Em                      G     Am                  Em
You know you'll never see her     walking through your door
      Em            G                B7          Em
& the bars about to close and the sky's about to pour
Am                            Em
  You take your last slug and stumble to the street
Am                          Em
  Pull your gun out and you whisper trick or treat
    Em                               Am
And as you pull the trigger beyond a shadow of a doubt
             G                                 B7
You hear her whispering your name and then the lights go out
   Em               G   Am   Em          Em             Am
So when you're done dancing      and the lights     go down
      C              G              B7   Em
We'll all meet up at Eddy's o'er in chinatown
      C              G              B7   Em
We'll all meet up at Eddy's o'er in chinatown
      C              G              B7   Em   G  Am  Em  Em  G  B7  Em
We'll all meet up at Eddy's o'er in chinatown
