 [Alternate B/w G and D chords]

In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners
At the hotel Flamingo wearing black market shoes

 Am                                      [Alternate B/w G&D]
 This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon
 Am
 No one wants to be lonely
 Am                       [Alternate B/w G and D]
 No one wants to sing the blues

 She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder
 Christ, whatcha doing with him
 When you could be dancing with me
 She stirs the ice with her elegant finger
 I want to be what she's drinking
 Yeah, I just want to be

 CHORUS-
 C         G
 I saw you first
         D           G
 I'm the first one tonight
 C         G
 I saw you first
            D           G
 Don't that give me the right
 C        G
 To move around in your heart
 D
 Everyone was looking

 But I saw you first

 [Alternate between G & D]

On a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo
Gypsy Scotty is driving his big long yellow car
She flies like a bird over her shoulder
She whispers in his ear, boy, you are my star

 CHORUS

In the bone colored dawn
Me and Gypsy Scotty are singin'
The radio is playing
She left her shoes out in the back
He tells me a story about some girl he knows in Kentucky
He just made that story up; there ain't no girl like that

 CHORUS and fade
