1. FUTURE LEGEND
N.C.
And in the death, as the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy thoroughfare,
The shutters lifted in inches in Temperance Building, high on Poacher's Hill,
And red mutant eyes gaze down on Hunger City
C
No more big wheels
F
Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats,
F# G
And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes,
G# Am
Coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers,
G C
Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Loveme Avenue
D G
Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers
C
Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald
Any day now the year of the Diamond Dogs...
2. DIAMOND DOGS
This ain't rock 'n' roll... this is genocide!
A C Eb Bb F
A C Eb Bb F A
A
As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
E7
You asked for the latest party
D7
With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump
A
Dressed like a priest you was, Tod Browning's freak you was
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee
E7
I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see
D7
The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
A
Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with k**l appeal
E
Will they come? I'll keep a friend serene
G
Will they come? Oh baby, come unto me
A
Will they come? Well, she's come, been and gone
D
Come out of the garden, baby
A
You'll catch your death in the fog
B D7 A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
B D7 A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
A
Now, Halloween Jack is a real cool cat
E7
And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase
D7
The elevator's broke, so he slides down a rope
A
Onto the street below. Oh Tarzie, go man go
Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach
E7
Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch
D7
Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake
A
Wrecked up and paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are sableized
E
Will they come? I'll keep a friend serene
G
Will they come? Oh baby, come unto me
A
Will they come? Well, she's come, been and gone
D
Come out of the garden, baby
A
You'll catch your death in the fog
B D7 A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
B D7 A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
E A
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
E D7
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
A C Eb Bb F
A C Eb Bb F A
A
In the year of the scavenger, the season of the b****
E7
Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch
D7
Just another future song, lonely little kitsch
A
There's gonna be sorrow try and wake up tomorrow
E
Will they come? I'll keep a friend serene
G
Will they come? Oh baby, come unto me
A
Will they come? Well, she's come, been and gone
D
Come out of the garden, baby
A
You'll catch your death in the fog
B D7 A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
B D7 A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
E A
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
E A
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
E A
Call them the Diamond Dogs, Dogs
E A
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them
E A
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them, oo
E D7
Call them the Diamond Dogs

3. SWEET THING
C D/C C D/C C
C D/C C D/C
It's safe in the city, to love in a doorway
C D Em
To wrangle some screens from the door
D C D/C C
And isn't it me, putting pain in a stranger?
D/C C D Em
Like a portrait in flesh, who trails on a leash
D C D/C C D/C
Will you see that I'm scared and I'm lonely?
C D Em
So I'll break up my room, and yawn and I
D Bm
Run to the center of things,
Where the knowing one says
Dm Am G
Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing
Dm Am F G
Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing
Dm Am/C G/B G
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
Dm Am F G
'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing
C D/C
I'm glad that you're older than me
C D/C
Makes me feel important and free
C D Em
Does that make you smile, isn't that me?
D C D/C C
I'm in your way, and I'll steal every moment
D/C C D
If his trade is a curse, then I'll bless you
Em D Bm
And turn to the crossroads of hamburgers, and
Dm Am G
Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing
Dm Am F G
Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing
Dm Am/C G/B G
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
Dm Am F G
'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing

4. CANDIDATE
Dm Am G
Dm Am G
Dm Am G
Dm Am G
Dm Am G
Dm Am
I'll make you a deal, like any other candidate
G
We'll pretend we're walking home 'cause your future's at stake
Dm Am
My set is amazing, it even smells like a street
G
There's a bar at the end where I can meet you and your friend
Dm Am
Someone scrawled on the wall "I smell the blood of les tricoteuses"
G
Who wrote up scandals in other bars
Dm Am
I'm having so much fun with the poisonous people
G
Spreading rumours and lies and stories they made up
Dm Am
Some make you sing and some make you scream
G
One makes you wish that you've never been seen
Dm Am
But there's a shop on the corner that's selling paper mache
G
Making bulletproof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay
Dm Am G
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
Dm Am
So you scream out of line "I want you! I need you!
G
Anyone out there? Any time?"
Dm Am
Tres butch little number whines "Hey dirty, I want you
G
When it's good, it's really good, and when it's bad I go to pieces"
Dm Am G
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
Dm Am
Well, on the street where you live I could not hold up my head
G
For I put all I have in another bed
Dm Am
On another floor, in the back of a car
G
In the cellar like a church with the door ajar
Dm Am
Well, I guess we must be looking for a different kind
G
But we can't stop trying 'til we break up our minds
Dm Am
'Til the sun drips blood on the seedy young nights
G
Who press you on the ground while shaking in fright
Dm Am
I guess we could cruise down one more time
G
With you by my side, it should be fine
Dm Am
We'll buy some drugs and watch a band
G
Then jump in the river holding hands
5. SWEET THING (REPRISE)
Dm Am G
Dm Am G
Dm Am/C G
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
Dm Am F G
'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing
C D/C C D/C
Is it nice in your snow storm, freezing your brain?
C D Em
Do you think that your face looks the same?
D C D/C C
Then let it be, it's all I ever wanted
D/C C D
Its a street with a deal, and a taste
Em D G
Its got claws, its got me, its got you
A/G G A/G G A

C Em F C
C Em F C
G7 Em G C
You always were the one that knew
G7 Em G C
They sold us for the likes of you
A A7 Dm Dm7
I always wanted new surroundings
G C D7 Dm G7
A room to rent while the lizards lay crying in the heat
C D7 Dm G7
Trying to remember who to meet
E E7 Am Am/G
I would take a foxy kind of stand
Dsus4 D G7 G
While tens of thousands found me in demand
C Em F C
When you rock and roll with me
C Em F C
No one else I'd rather be
C Em F C
Nobody here can do it for me
D G C Em F C
I'm in tears again when you rock and roll with me
C Em F C
G7 Em G C
Gentle hearts are counted down
G7 Em G C
The queue is out of sight and out of sounds
A A7 Dm Dm7
Me, I'm out of breath, but not quite doubting
G C
I've found a door which lets me out
C Em F C
When you rock and roll with me
C Em F C
No one else I'd rather be
C Em F C
Nobody down here can do it for me
D G C Em F C
I'm in tears again when you rock and roll with me
C Em F C

When you rock and roll with me

When you rock and roll with me

When you rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll with me
C Em F C
No one else I'd rather, I'd rather be

Nobody down here can do it for me

I'm in tears, I'm in tears

8. WE ARE THE DEAD
Gm Bb F
Gm Bb F
Gm Bb F
Something kind of hit me today, I looked at you and
Dm D Eb Bb
Wondered if you saw things my way
F D Gm
People will hold us to blame
Gm7 Eb C F
It hit me today, it hit me today
Gm Bb F
We're taking it hard all the time
Dm D Eb Bb
Why don't we pass it by, just reply you've changed your mind
F D Gm
We're fighting with the eyes of the blind
Gm7 Eb C F Eb Dm Bb
Taking it hard, taking it hard, yet now
Ab Gb F C
We feel that we are paper, choking on you nightly
Bb Ab Gb F
They tell me son, we want you, be elusive, but don't walk far
C Bb Ab Gb
For we're breaking in the new boys, deceive your next of kin
F C Bb Ab
For you're dancing where the dogs decay, defecating ecstasy
Gb F
You're just an ally of the leecher
C Bb Ab Gb
Locator for the virgin King, but I love you in your f*** me pumps
F C
And your nimble dress that trails
Bb Ab Gb F
Oh, dress yourself, my urchin one, for I hear them on the rails
C Bb Ab
Because of all we've seen, because of all we've said
Gb D C D C
We are the dead
Gm Bb F
One thing kind of touched me today
Dm D Eb Bb
I looked at you and counted all the times we had laid
F D Gm
Pressing our love through the night
Gm7 Eb C F
Knowing it's right, knowing it's right
Gm Bb F
Now I'm hoping some one will care
Dm D Eb Bb
Living on the breath of a hope to be shared
F D Gm
Trusting on the sons of our love
Gm7 Eb C F Eb Dm Bb
That someone will care, someone will care, but now
Ab Gb F C
We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Bb Ab Gb F
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
C Bb Ab Gb
It's a twenty four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
F C
And the streets are full of press men
Bb Ab
Bent on getting hung and buried
Gb F C Bb
And the legendary curtains are drawn round Baby Bankrupt
Ab Gb
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
F C
It's the theater of financiers
Bb Ab
Count them, fifty round a table
Gb F
White and dressed to k**l
C Bb
Oh caress yourself, my juicy
Ab Gb
For my hands have all but withered
F C Bb Ab
Oh dress yourself my urchin one, for I hear them on the stairs
Gb F
Because of all we've seen
C Bb
Because of all we've said
D C D
We are the dead
C D C D
We are the dead
C D C D C
We are the dead
Gm Bb F

They'll split your breathing cranium, and fill it full of air

And tell that you're eighty, but brother, you won't care
