                           G7                   
While the music played you worked by candlelight
F                         
Those San Francisco nights
             F           
You were the best in town
Am                            G7                        
■  Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl
                     Am   
You turned it on the world
                                 Em7   
That's when you turned the world around
G   Am7 G     Dm7     F
Did ■   ■ you realize ■
              Em7                 C    C7
That you were a champion in their eyes ■ 
Am                       G7                     
■  On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
G7                        
But yours was kitchenclean
Bb                                            Am        
Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motor home
                 G                      
Every AFrame had your number on the wall
F7                      
You must have had it all
Bb7                                   F        G
You'd go to LA on a dare and you'd go it alone ■


[Chorus]
Am Am7               Dm7    
■  ■   Could you see the day
               Em7                                  Dm7 
Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away
G7  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                            
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
G7            F7         
Get along Kid Charlemagne

[Verse]
                        G                       
Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail
F                             
Those test tubes and the scale
         F                 
Just get it all out of here
Am7                     G  
■   Is there gas in the car
                       F  
Yes there's gas in the car
                                 G        Am7    
I think the people down the hall know who you are


[Chorus]
G                Dm7    
■ 'cause the man is wise
                 Em7                  Dm7
You are still an outlaw in their eyes ■  
    Em7   Dm7                          
Get along ■   get along Kid Charlemagne
G7            F7
