[Verse]
                           G7                   
While the music played you worked by candlelight
F                   Am7   
Those San Francisco nights
             Am          
You were the best in town
                           G7                        
Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl
                     Am   
You turned it on the world
       Bb                        Em7   
That's when you turned the world around


[Chorus]
G   Am7     Dm7     F
Did ■   you realize ■
              Em7                 C    C7
That you were a champion in their eyes ■ 


[Verse]
Am                       G              G7      
■  On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
F                         
But yours was kitchenclean
                                                    Am  
Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motor home
                 G                      
Every AFrame had your number on the wall
G7       F7             
You must have had it all
Bb7                                   F  G     Am
You'd go to LA on a dare and you'd go it alone ■ 


[Chorus]
G               Dm7    
■ Could you see the day
               Em7              Fmaj7               Dm7 
Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away
Em7 Dm7       Em7       Dm7        
Get along get along Kid Charlemagne
Em7           F           F7 C7
Get along Kid Charlemagne ■  ■ 


[Verse]
Am                       G        G7            
■  Now your patrons have all left you in the red
F                        Dm7 
Your lowrent friends are dead
          Dm7                
This life can be very strange
Am7                         G7                        
■   All those DayGlo freaks who used to paint the face
F                        Am  
They've joined the human race
C                             F G
Some things will never change ■ ■


[Chorus]
Am7         Dm7     
■   You are obsolete
        Em7                             Dm7
Look at all the white men on the street ■  
Em7 Dm7   Em7           Dm7        
Get along get along Kid Charlemagne
Em7           F7         
Get along Kid Charlemagne

[Verse]
Am              G7                          G   
Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail
F                             
Those test tubes and the scale
                            Am7
Just get it all out of here ■  
             G         
Is there gas in the car
                F         
Yes there's gas in the car


[Chorus]
                                      G       Am 
I think the people down the hall know who you are
G          Dm7        
'cause the man is wise
        Em7                      Dm7 
You are still an outlaw in their eyes
    Dm7                            
Get along get along Kid Charlemagne
              G7         
Get along Kid Charlemagne
