Stephanies For La

Guitar 2 (lead riff)

Repeat once, then the third time:

[Then the bridge right before the lyrics start]:

[Note: In some of the verses, the D7 alternates up to a D7sus4 (just add your
 pinky to the 3rd fret on the high E string from a D7 chord)]
    D7
And what about my tailor my slowly mending lover
    A
She sews me clothes I could not bear to wait
   D7
My hands are locusts at her work, a green and fitting coat
A
Made upon the only honest loom
  D7
I remember last night's nightmare, my hand was in the road
    A                          G
The victim of some misdirected thresher
A            G#m (arpeggio)
We would run towards the sun
F#                  A           E
Driving towards the city of the angels

A                 G#m
She would know of places we could go
F#            A          E
To escape the homicide investigation men
          Bm                  E
And we're weaving through the traffic in the
Dadd9               A
Shuttle-through-the-loom way
      Bm                  E
We'll mix our drinks with water that's from
Dadd9     A
Very far away
          Bm               E
And we'll toast to every earthquake rolling
Dadd9          A
Underneath the bay
          Bm            E               Dadd9
And we'll pardon every public servant's heavy cane, ohhh
(They'll never know my name)
A                       Asus4
Stephanie lives there, Stephanie lives there
A                       Asus4
Stephanie lives there, Stephanie lives there
A                                D
Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie, oh.....

   D7 (hold)
So I've committed murder like a crazed and angered dope
      A
She's helped me plan a stunning getaway
    D7
And when the lynch mob came and we escaped the heat
         A
And went dancing at the local cabaret
   D7
We left those lawmen standing with thirteen yards of rope
        A
They'll never see me swinging from a palm tree
          D7
She'll be sure to keep me safe here, entangled in her arms
    A                               G
Cuz I'm for her but Stephanie's for L.A., ohhhh
(*)
Stephanie's for L.A. (repeat several times)
[(*)Note: The vocals are staggered here.  Chords alternate between
 A and G, just listen to the song to hear it]
A                   G
Aaaah,  And I would like to board the skybird....

A                 G#m
From the ground, from the ground
D               A
Stephanie's for L.A.
