James Reyne- The Rainbow's Dead End

[Intro]
D     A     Em

[Verse 1]
D                    A              Em
Star-crossed junkie misfits on the run
D                 A              Em         
Some expensive wardrobe a car, a gun for fun
              D           A        
They took her valise, a portmanteau
       Em                 
Such a civilized way to go
G                C        G     D  
This must be the rainbow's dead-end

[Verse 2]
     D                 A             Em   
Peel back that velvet rope and come inside
        D              A        
There's Jungle Jim at Mr. Chow's
         Em                 
With his,   mail-order bride
    D                  A               
The higher that monkey climbs that tree
    Em                            
The more of his fat ass you'll see
G                C        G     D  
This must be the rainbow's dead-end
G                C        G     D  
This must be the rainbow's dead-end

[Bridge]
F#m    G   A    D
we get separated
F#m  G        A    
I'll meet you there
F#m    G   A   D
little hideaway
F#m   G      A  
Our pied-a-terre

[Verse 3]
D                 A               Em 
Last year's model stranded in the bar
    D           A             Em     
Some NRA.... convention Itchy fingers
Em                
Whiskey in the jar
D               A           
This gin palace Alice wonder
Em                                  
Absinthe makes this tart grow fonder
G                C        G     D  
This must be the rainbow's dead-end

[Verse 4]
D            A                Em 
Hotel, motel drifters one and all
         D                A             Em                  
Lie like dead men down in rows, against Bondi Beach sea wall
D                     A                 Em                      
Mirror smeared with a wasted chance and nicotine stained romance
G                C        G     D  
This must be the rainbow's dead-end
G                C        G     D  
This must be the rainbow's dead-end
G                C        G     D  
This must be the rainbow's dead-end
