B E A D  B E A D  B


[Verse 1]
E                       A
I wanna shake like La Guardia
D                  B
Magic mouth in the sun
E                 A
Train ride to the courtyard
D              B
Before you can run
E                  A
Down at the end of Lonely Street
D                    B
Where no one takes a walk
E             A
Someone lyin' at your feet
D                     B
And someone's gettin' off


[Chorus]
D
Just gimme some slack, yeah
D
Just gimme some slack
D
Just gimme, slack
D                          B
That's all I want is slack


[Verse 2]
     E                 A
The seven floors of walkup
D                B
The odor musted cracks
E                       A
And the peeping keyhole introverts
D                         B
With the monkeys on their backs
E                            A
And the rooftops strung with fräuleins
D                    B
The pastel pinned up sails
E                  A
The eighteen color roses
D
Against your face so pale


[Chorus]
D
A just gimme some slack, that's right
D
Uh gimme some slack
D
Gimme, slack, ooh yeah
D                   B
All I want is slack


[Verse 3]
        E               A
I wanna float like Euripides
D              B
All visions intact
E                        A
I'm alright with Fellini fiends
D                   B
A trippin' over the track
E                  A
Down at the end of L-onely Street
D                    B
Where no one takes a chance
E                      A
Someone's in the cheap light
D
Someone wants to dance


[Chorus]
D
Just gimme some slack, that's right
D
All I want is slack
D
Oh, gimme, slack
D
All I want is slack


[Outro]
D
Gimme, slack
D
Slack
D
Slack
D
Sssslack
D
Slack
D
(unintelligible) slack
