                        A

1. When you wake up in the morning,

                                                                E

    you can’t remember much about the night before.

                    A

    Then the lady who’s beside you gets up,

                                                          E

    she goes right out and locks the bathroom door.

                      D 

    And your head won’t stop singing, the phone won’t stop ringing,

               F

    your plane is going to leave at 12:15.

                 A                                             E                              A

    It was close to six o’clock before you got to know a little dream.

 

                     E                                           D              A

Look at the bangin‘ man, he says he can, time after time,

               E                   E7                                   A

he’ll get down, down, down, to bang him back home.

                           E                                           D              A

Oh, look at the bangin‘ man, he says he can, time after time,

               E                   E7                                   A

he’ll get down, down, down, to bang him back home.

                        A

2. I’ve been in fifty different towns in fifty different days,

                        E

    they all got different names.

                        A

    I’ve been in fifty limousines and fifty hotel rooms,

                  E

    they all look the same.

                      D

    And your head won’t stop cracking, your case needs unpacking,

            F

    the only sound is from the TV screen,

                   A

    until a knock comes on the door

                             E                              A

    and standing there’s another little dream.

3. Oh, when you wake up in the morning, 

                                                                E

    you can’t remember much about the night before.

                      A

    A small reminder of the state you were in

                                                    E

    and all the tattered clothes across the floor.

                      D

    And your head still keeps singing, the phone still keeps ringing,

          F

    remember just exactly where you’ve been.

                           A                                                   E

    ’Cause there ain’t no doubt about it, there’s no better things to see

                                   A

    than what you’ve seen.

 

+  CHORUS

 

                         E                                            D             A

+  Look at the bangin‘ man, he says he can, time after time,

                    E                   E7                                   A

    he’ll get down, down, down, to bang him back home.
