Sin City
Recorded by Dwight Yoakam with k.d. lang
Written by Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons
G D7
This old town is filled with sin
G C G D7
It'll swallow you in if you've got some money to burn
G D7 G C
Take it home right away you've got three years to pay
G D7 G D7
Old Satan is waiting his turn
G D7 G C
The scientist say it'll all wash away
G D7
But we don't believe anymore
G D7
Cause we've got our recruits
G C
In their green mohair suits
G D7 G
So please show your ID at the door
C D7 G
This old earthquakes gonna leave me in the poorhouse
C G D7
It seems like this whole town's insane
C D7 G C
On the 31th floor your gold plated door
G D7 G D7
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
G D7 G C
A fool came around tried to clean up this town
G D7
His ideas made some people mad
G D7 G C
But he trusted in his crowd so he spoke right out loud
G D7 G
And they lost the best friend they ever had
Repeat #3
C D7 G C
On the 31th floor your gold plated door
G D7 C G
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
