VERSE:

       Bm                         E
If you wanna make a move then you better come in
              Bm                     E
It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin
Bm                       E
Living and dying and the stories that are true
Bm                      E
Secret to a good life's knowing when you're through


CHORUS:

A                 D                     E               D
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah, the boy's a time bomb
A                 D                     E               D
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah, the boy's a time bomb


VERSE:
           Bm                          E
Well, he's back in the hole where they got him living like a rat
Bm                    E     
But he's smarter than that, nine lives like a cat
 Bm                           E                      
?Ten years old? they take him to the youth authority home
Bm                                E
First thing you learn: you got to make it in this world alone


[CHORUS] (Black coat, white shoes...)


VERSE:

Bm                               E
Now he's gotten out, he's gotten free, he's gotta go, got a car
Bm                      E
He's 21 years old, he's runnin' numbers from the bar
Bm                  E
His pager's beepin', he's gettin' deep in
    Bm                          E
Whatever he can move on in, you know that kid's a creepin' in


[CHORUS] (Black coat, white shoes...)

VERSE:

Bm                                    E
Tears come from the razor that's been tattooed below his eye
Bm                               E
His mother cries, she knows that he is strong enough to die
Bm                      E
He's rollin' in the Cadillac, it's midnight, sunroof is down
Bm                               E
Three shots ring out, the hero's dead, the new king is crowned
