There Goes The Neighborhood

[Verse]
C#  
Hey let's party, let's get

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

take a picture,

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


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
C#  


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

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


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
C#  


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

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


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