Verse 1: 

Bb                             Eb                     Bb 
First your mama and your papa sent you to the finest school
                          Eb                         Bb
Never let it be said that their little darling was a fool
          Eb                        F
So with a credit card and your good name
         Bb                        Eb
You were drawn like  a moth to the flame
        Cm                                                   F
To the people of the night where you more or less lost your cool
      
  
Verse 2:

You had 20/20 vision and still you were walking round blind
Yes and whether right or wrong I'd still tag along behind.
But you're flying too high for me
And if this is how it's got to be
Then it's time to say "You go your way and I'll go mine."


Chorus:

  n.c.
It's been a gas but I'm gonna have to pass
Cm7               F
These are not my people no
Bb                G
These are not my people
                  Cm7
And it looks the end my friend 
F                  Bb 
Got to get in the wind my friend


Verse 3:

You find yourself naked in the world with no place to hide.
Then you felt the pulse of your God and he had died
And your rebels that have got no cause
And your tigers that have got no claws
They promise you the world on a string but you know they lied.


Verse 4: 

Oh you know you said you'd be back in a black Cadillac limousine
But you know I'm inclined to think it's not the kind you mean.
No 'cause when you fall down from off your cloud
And you're just another face in the crowd
They're gonna throw you away like last week's magazines.


Chorus:  

It's been a gas but I'm gonna have to pass
These are not my people no
These are not my people no
And it looks the end my friend 
F                  Bb             G           
Got to get in the wind my friend
F                  Bb             G           
Got to get in the wind my friend
F                  Bb             Bb           
Got to get in the wind my friend
