There Goes The Neighborhood

[Verse]
F  
Hey let's party, let's get

down, let's turn the radio on,
            G#
This is the meltdown.
            F  
Get out the camera,

take a picture,

The drag queens and the freaks
            G#
Are all out on the town.
    A#                C#
And cowboy Jane's in bed
A#                 C#
Nursing a swollen head.


[Chorus]
F                    G#
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
      C#                 A#
Don't like the scene anyhow.
F                   G#
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
        C#        
  Just to see what
               A#
the fuss was about.

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
F  


The photo chick made to look sickly
                   
  Is standing in her
                G#
panties in the shower.
              F  
She plays the guitar

in the bathroom
                          
  While the police dust her
                  G#
mother's plastic flowers.
    A#                  C#
And Schooboy John's in jail
A#                        
  Making a killing through
     C#
the U.S. mail.


[Chorus]
F                    G#
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
      C#                 A#
Don't like the scene anyhow.
F                   G#
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
        C#        
  Just to see what
               A#
the fuss was about.

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Interlude]
F G# C# A#
        F  G#  C#  A#
Neighborhood.

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
F  


This is the movie of the screenplay of the book
                         G#
about a girl who meets a junkie.
        F
The messenger gets shot down just
                 
  for carrying the
              G#
message to a flunkie.
F  
We can't be certain

who the villans
                       G#
are 'cuz everyone's so pretty
        F
But the afterparty's sure to be
                  
  a wing-ding as it
                 G#
moves into your city.


[Chorus]
F                    G#
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
      C#                 A#
Don't like the scene anyhow.
F                   G#
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
        C#        
  Just to see what
               A#
the fuss was about.
F                    G#
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
      C#                 A#
Don't like the scene anyhow.

I dropped acid on a Saturday night
        C#        
  Just to see what
              A#

Now there goes the neighborhood.
          F  G#  C#  A#
Neighborhood.
                             F
Now there goes the neighborhood.
