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....
