Leopardskin Limousines

By Joe Strummer

From the album Earthquake Weather

Bm

Noontime and the lunchstand tilts

C

It's you baby walking in with your stilts

G

You don't like to eat here no more

C

Cos the sauerkrauts been on the dog-bowl floor

Bm

They made an old film of this

C

It shows in Hindu out on Air Pacif

Bm

Shoulda seen it coming 'bout a mile away

G

Especially when you don't hear no harmonica play

C

What you can see is something you saw

Bm

When you were a little girl

C

Some picture passed by the Hays Commission

G

About a prairie and a Kansas whirl

C

It's true I didn't have a part in it

Bm

I was working out at Disneyworld

G

Dressing like a duck not giving a fuck

C

Baby you can dream it's a pearl

Bm

People gonna wanna Xerox you baby

C

It's a good thing you ain't a Chick-a-Saw

G

Or your soul would take the overnight train

C

To Pittsburgh calling Baltimore

Bm

People gonna wanna Xerox you baby

C

What will it do to your mind

Bm

Hang gliding off the Grand Canyon

G

In a Coney Island for the blind

C

With me, it'd be Charlie Parker, Chevys

Bm

And late night barroom brawls

C

With real or imaginary friends and enemies

G

Who strike their heads when they fall

C

On the chassis of a classic Bull Nose special

Bm

That adorned our living room wall

C

Nobody'd be disappointed, if you're the one they wanted

G

Blazing out across the waterfall

Bm

People gonna wanna Xerox you baby

C

They got a quota to fill

G

Got some cat named Julian

C

And a Jap in a pad on the top of the hill

Bm

People gonna wanna Xerox you baby

C

It's a good thing you ain't a Chick-a-Saw

Bm

Or your soul would take the overnight train

G

To Pittsburgh calling Baltimore

C

Suppose I should drag my stuff on out

Bm

But I don't like the memories

C

Found a pint of brandy on top of the fridge

G

And it's working like an anti-freeze

C

So California is running short of water, oh

Bm

The magazine turns in the breeze

C

It's the bargain of a lifetime dreaming of gold

G

Baby look in the trees

Bm

It's your Chinese year of the animal

C

It must be one that preens

G

Those firecrackers going down the hill

C

Signify the end of our dreams

Bm

It's gonna be so beautiful

C

In those Leopardskin Limousines

Bm

When they spread you out in white

G

All over Harpers and Queens
