Shelf Life by Love and Rockets
from _Sweet F.A._

special chord voicings:

A+/D: xx0221
Dm7: xx0211

Dm A+/D Dm7 G7 F
How many A&R men does it take to change a light bulb?
C G G7
I`ll get back to you on that
Dm A+/D Dm7 G7 F
How many spells and dollars does it take to make the magic
C G G7
of pulling legends from a hat

Am Em
Will they take another sucker for an undersell
Am Em
Regarding them with compliments and muskatelle
Am Em
A honeymoon in Vegas in a plush hotel
G G7
Well, that`s a sad town in the morning light


Dm A+/D Dm7 G7 F C G G7
How many bullets in the back does it take to kill a singing cowboy?
Dm A+/D Dm7 G7 F C
And how much more of this bullshit can you take
G G7
From the charming envoy

Am Em
When your making with the ballpoint on the dotted line
Am Em
Devil`s in his heaven and your hair sublime
Am Em
You fit the mold for stardom and the big bells chime
G G7
But it`s gold leaf on a wild, wild, wind

Am Em
And they`re serving up your future with a twist of lime
Am Em
Paying you in dollars for the perfect crime
Am Em
And you`re scratching off the silver for a nail of grime
Am G G7
And pissing in the bitter wind

Dm A+/D Dm7 G7 F C
Last month`s colour you`re passed your sell by date
G G7
And your days are numbered

What is you shelf life?



Simple song, lots of chord changes (J wrote this one). Listen to the track
for the breaks and play verse chords. End on Dm stroke, writes J.
