There Goes The Neighborhood

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

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

take a picture,

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


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
B  


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

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


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Interlude]
B D G E
        B  D  G  E
Neighborhood.

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
B  


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

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


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