Tin Pan Alley Chords

   
Brian Fallon's solo version of 'Tin Pan Alley' a song he did with Chuck Ragan from 
his 'Revival' tour. 
                                 Capo: 5
                              Tuning: EADGBe

Beautiful song, let's dive right in ;)

The only detail you need to be aware of in terms of major chord differences (No 
pun intended) is that when the C is played he adds the third on the high E 
string... Or in Layman's terms he plays the third fret on the high string. 
Otherwise good old fashioned Fallon chords ;D

Intro: C, G (Touches on the root note) Am, F, G      (X2)

Verse 1: 
Am                      F
The cats are all crazy, Mona Lisa
Am               F
They try to say my future is stone
Am               F
They say they make all the right calls
             C                          G
To all the right numbers that the fat cats know

Verse 2: 
Am                              F
But these wheels were made for burning
Am                       F
And these wings weren't meant to last
Am                             F
In the end it's all fireworks and smoke rings 
 C                       G
A treacherous road baby, try not to crash

Chorus:
F                                  Am    
And keep your singing voice golden
  F             C      G 
And put your red shoes on
C                   Am
I just want to sing motown, soul
F                            C           G
And buy my baby something nice to take home 
Am            G                             F
And I wanna dance with the poor girls in Europe
C               G
I just wanna dance...
Am            G               F
And I wanna dance with the poor girls in Europe
C              G
I just wanna dance

Verse 3:
Am                     F
After all it's just a crazy dream baby
Am                         F
All these good cards burn up in a flash
Am                        F
My, my it's getting late Cinderella
    C                                 G
Not long before these dresses turn right back to rags

Verse 4: 
Am                        F
And don't forget about my homeboy
Am                      F
We almost died at them gates
Am                                       F
Thank the good Lord for sending his angels... 
C                              G
In a '49 Mercury for a lightning fast getaways

I just want to sing motown, soul

G             C            F
And not your friends, they all want to sell your blood
G           C         F
And isn't that why everybody signs up
Am               F
Forget it baby, keep your eyes on that Cadillac
C                                      G
And keep your feet dancing before they say you're too old

Forget it baby, keep your eyes on that Cadillac
C                                      G                     C
And keep your feet dancing before they say you're too old (and)

I just want to sing rock and roll

And crack this old heart made of stone
