Codeine Velvet Club - Hollywood
I’m not sure how accurate this tab is but this is how I’m playing it on an acoustic
guitar. Don’t be put off by the odd sounding chords. They generally entail making a basic
chord shape and then moving your index finger around a bit; eg the chorus starts C
whilst hammering the second finger on and off. Lyrics in brackets are backing vocals.

C Cmaj7 Cmaj13 Cmaj7 Cmaj13 Cmaj7 Dm
Here in a town of yester day's des - perate - men
Dm Dm7 Dm6 Dm7 Dm6 F
All dressed up to go for the final scene

Here comes the dread they fed me in last night's dream
C Cmaj7 Cmaj13 Cmaj7 Cmaj13 Cmaj7 C
She's got too much class for the likes of me
(I'll stay but don't make me nervous)
C Cmaj7 Cmaj13 Cmaj7 Cmaj13 Cmaj7 Dm
Lost in the haze of yester- days mem - or - y
(Don't think that you don't deserve us)
Dm Dm7 Dm6 Dm7 F
Crying all the way to the bank on the bullet train
(But crying don't get you nowhere)

I must be the only man that they couldn't frame
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C C Cadd9 F G
I couldn't see the en – e- my till he was close behind

Waltzing blind, through my mind

And if the lights should freeze oh please don't make it him or me
C
Then we'll see
This city is a monument to bad taste in vain
(Hooray for Hollywood break, out the search lights above)
But I couldn't tear myself away, so I can't complain
(Send out the substitutes, tonight we'll be makin' love)
Crawling in deaf and dumb for the losers ball
(Here's to the house on the hill and the thrill of it all)
Sinking in a tidal wave of alcohol
How could I miss it's come to this Hollywood final scene, make it clean
And if the lights should freeze oh please don't make it him or me
Then we'll see
Look out below this heart will blow Hollywood style tonight
It don't seem right
