[Verse 1]
D/G Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
Down in the cellar in the Boho Zone
Gsus2 A7sus4
I went looking for some sweet inspiration, oh well
A6 Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
Just another hard-time band
Gsus2 A7sus4
With Negro affectations
G A G/B Bm7
I was a hopeful in rooms like this
G A Bm7 Em
When I was working cheap
A6 Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
It's an old romance, the Boho dance
Gsus2 A7sus4
It hasn't gone to sleep
[Chorus]
G7sus4 C
But even on the scuffle
G A Bm7 Em
The cleaner's press was in my jeans
A6 Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
And any eye for detail
Gsus2 A7sus4
Caught a little lace along the seams
[Interlude]
F G C
F G F G
D
[Verse 2]
A6 Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
And you were in the parking lot
Gsus2 A7sus4
Subterranean by your own design
A6 Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
The virtue of your style inscribed
Gsus2 A7sus4
On your contempt for mine
G A G/B Bm7
Jesus was a beggar, he was rich in grace
G A Bm7 Em
And Solomon kept his head in all his glory
A6 Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
It's just that some steps outside the Boho dance
Gsus2 A7sus4
Have a fascination for me
[Chorus]
[Interlude]

A6 Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
You read those books where luxury
Gsus2 A7sus4
Comes as a guest to take a slave
A6 Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
Books where artists in noble poverty
Gsus2 A7sus4
Go like virgins to the grave
G A G/B Bm7
Don't you get sensitive on me
G A Bm7 Em
'Cause I know you're just too proud
A6 Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
You couldn't step outside the Boho dance now
Gsus2 A7sus4
Even if good fortune allowed
[Chorus]
