There Goes The Neighborhood

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

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

take a picture,

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


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
D  


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

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


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
D  


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

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


[Chorus]
D                    F
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
      A#                 G
Don't like the scene anyhow.
