There Goes The Neighborhood

[Verse]
E  
Hey let's party, let's get

down, let's turn the radio on,
            G
This is the meltdown.
            E  
Get out the camera,

take a picture,

The drag queens and the freaks
            G
Are all out on the town.
    A                C
And cowboy Jane's in bed
A                 C
Nursing a swollen head.


[Chorus]
E                    G
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
      C                 A
Don't like the scene anyhow.
E                   G
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
        C        
  Just to see what
               A
the fuss was about.

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
E  


The photo chick made to look sickly
                   
  Is standing in her
                G
panties in the shower.
              E  
She plays the guitar

in the bathroom
                          
  While the police dust her
                  G
mother's plastic flowers.
    A                  C
And Schooboy John's in jail
A                        
  Making a killing through
     C
the U.S. mail.


[Chorus]
E                    G
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
      C                 A
Don't like the scene anyhow.
E                   G
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
        C        
  Just to see what
               A
the fuss was about.

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Interlude]
E G C A
        E  G  C  A
Neighborhood.

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
E  


This is the movie of the screenplay of the book
                         G
about a girl who meets a junkie.
        E
The messenger gets shot down just
                 
  for carrying the
              G
message to a flunkie.
E  
We can't be certain

who the villans
                       G
are 'cuz everyone's so pretty
        E
But the afterparty's sure to be
                  
  a wing-ding as it
                 G
moves into your city.


[Chorus]
E                    G
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
      C                 A
Don't like the scene anyhow.
E                   G
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
        C        
  Just to see what
               A
the fuss was about.
E                    G
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
      C                 A
Don't like the scene anyhow.
E                   G
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
        C        
  Just to see what
              A
the fuss was about.
                             E  G  C  A
Now there goes the neighborhood.
          E  G  C  A
Neighborhood.
                             E
Now there goes the neighborhood.
