[Verse]
                E                       
They're selling postcards of the hanging
             A                      E    
Well they're painting the passports brown
         B                                  
Yeah the beauty parlor's filled with sailors
A                E   
The circus is in town
          E                                
Oh no but here comes the blind commissioner
             A            E     
Well they've got him in a trance
B                                       
One hand is tied to the tightrope walker
A                  E    
The other's in his pants


[Chorus]
        A                          
And the riot squad they're restless
E                      A 
They need somewhere to go
              B                A   
As Lady and I look out tonight from
               E
Desolation Row ■
E                              
Oh Cinderella she seems so easy


[Verse]
     A                            E     
Well it takes one to know one she smiles
        B                                 
And she puts her hands in her back pockets
A           E    
Bette Davis style
        E                       
Now but here comes Romeo moaning
    A              E      
You belong to me I believe
    B           
And someone says
                             A     
You're in the wrong place my friend
           E     E7
You better leave ■ 


[Chorus]
             A                     
And then the only sound that's left
      E              A 
After the ambulances go
              B           A 
Is Cinderella sweeping up on
           E  
Desolation Row

[Verse]
E                              
Yeah at midnight all the agents
A              E   
And superhuman crew
                    B       
Go out and round up everyone
     A7         A         E 
That knows more than they do
E7                                     
They're gonna bring them to the factory
          A7          E      
Where the heartattack machine
B                                 
Is strapped across their shoulders
A            E       
And then the kerosene


[Chorus]
A                               
Is brought down from the castles
E                A     
By insurance men who go
                     B      A          
Check to see that no one is escaping to
E             
Desolation Row
E7           A  
'cause right now
  A                  
I can't read too good
E                A         
Don't send me no letters no
                          B    A   
Not unless you gotta mail them from
E              A E
