Kid Charlemagne by Steely Dan - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Steely Dan Song List
Version 1
[Intro]
C7#9
[Verse 1]
Am G6
While the music played you worked by candle light
F6/9 Bb13
Those San Francisco nights, you were the best in town
Am G6
Just by chance you crossed a diamond with a pearl
F6/9 Bb13
You turned it on the world, that's when you turned the world around
F6 G Am G6 Dm7 G6 F6
Did you feel like Jesus? Did you realise
Em7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
That you were a champion in their eyes?
[Instrumental]
C7#9
[Verse 2]
Am G6
On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
F6/9 Bb13
But yours was kitchen clean. Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolour motorhome
Am G6
Every A-frame had your number on the wall
F6/9 Bb13
You must have had it all. You'd go to LA on a dare and you'd go it alone
F6 G Am G6 Dm7 G6 F6
Could you live forever? Could you see the day?
Em7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
Did you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away?
[Chorus]
Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7
Get along Get along Kid Charlemagne
Dm7 Em7 F7 G7 C7#9
Get along Kid Charlemagne
[Verse 3]
Am G6
Now your patrons have all left you in the red
F6/9 Bb13
Your low rent friends are dead. This life can be very strange
Am G6
All those day-glo freaks who used to paint their face
F6/9 Bb13
They've joined the human race, some things will never change
F6 G Am G6 Dm7 G6 F6
Son, you were mistaken You are obsolete
Em7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
look at all the white men on the street
[Chorus]
Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7
Get along Get along Kid Charlemagne
Dm7 Em7 F7 G7 C7#9
Get along Kid Charlemagne

[Verse 4]
Am G6
Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail
F6/9 Bb13
Those test tubes and the scale, just get it all out of here
Am G6
Is there gas in the car? Yes, there's gas in the car
F6/9 Bb13
I think the people down the hall know who you are
F6 G Am G6 Dm7 G6 F6
Careful what you carry 'cause the man is wise.
Em7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
You are still an outlaw in their eyes
[Chorus]

Get along Get along Kid Charlemagne
