VERSE
C                                       G
Fleet of black, fleet of black limousines
                     F                         C
These tinted machines, here comes the cavalcade
                                                 G
With the armored cars, armored cars like berettas
                  F                    C             G
Flags on antennaes designed to keep me safe, keep me safe

Vote for him, the candidate
 
 
VERSE
C                                        G
Diamonds cut, diamonds cut for the carrots
                F                              C
Plaster of paris, the floats fill up the street
                                                          G
And the beauty queens, beauty queens with the white gloves
                             F                  C            G
All sick from the night clubs, they wave with pageantry, pageantry

C              G          C
Marching bands and barricades

Make way, for the big parade

Canvas covered, canvas covered in resin
               F                          C
The violent men who dance the blood ballet
                                                    G
And the bookies say, bookies say it's the 3rd round
                           F                     C                        G
Oh when louie will go down, if he don't there's hell to pay, and hell to raise
 
 
CHORUS
C            G         C
And oh my my oh hey hey
F       C          G        C

Or say goodbye to the welterweight

He's torn between romance and jesus, who will win the civil war
                   G
And he says I'm in love, I'm in love with a woman
                         F                        C                   G
