Verse 1
D Asus
On a walk through the desert I met up with a gypsy
C D*
Read my palms and turned away,
D Asus
On her back was a tattoo of a man by the city
C G
And this is what he say,
D Asus C
Go home little boy youre too damn witty for the city,
D*
its a dangerous place,
D Asus
Said youll sing and youll dance, and youll serenade
C G
all the ladies with a single glance,
Em (hold)
But I said.........

D C G D
Ive been there before and I aint seen nobody with a scary mask,
D C G D
We danced on the back of the camels hump, girls a-wearin the gypsy mask,
D C G D
We danced all night and danced all day, till our feet no longer could last,
D Asus C D
Vowed we alld be back one day, dance in the moonlight of our past.
Intro
Verse 2
D Asus C D*
Foot by foot, and mile by mile, got closer to the city gates,
D Asus C G
Saw a boy, sat wrapped in shrouds, and this is what he say,
D Asus C D
Go home big brother, before its too late, or you'll have to pay,
D Asus C G
the city only brings trouble and despair, in a sneaky and deceptive way,
Intro
Verse 3
D Asus C D*
I walked through the gates of a beautiful city, saw a man with a mask,
D Asus C G
One eyepatch and a crooked leg, and this is what he asked,
D Asus
I can see you're on a journey, and youve got a lot of money,
C D*
My knife says youll give it away,
D Asus
Well here I sit alone in the city,
C (hold) G (hold)
and this....... is what I say.....
Chorus 2
D C G D
Here I stand, alone in the city, everyone wearing scary masks,
D C G D
I look to my right, look to my left, all I see broken glass,
D C G D
Walked all day, walked all night, till my feet no longer could last,
D Asus C D
Vowed Id never be back no more, to the city of broken glass.
