[Intro]
Am  G  Am  G  Am  G  Am  G

[Verse]
  Am                                             GFlashman's in the belfry, shouting as loud as he can
AmSamson's up all night again, talking about himself
       GWhat a wonderful man
    D                   EmAnd I'm just wild about Ronnie
    C                        DAnd Ronnie's just wild about me
          Em                          CI saw him selling winter coats on the Portobello Road
             D                                          EmI thought, I bet he wishes he was really working for the NME

[Chorus]
         Am   D    G          DWhen the gang come down here again
            Am                            GAnd they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names
         Am                               GAnd they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine
       Am       C           GSome of my best friends are trains

[Verse]
    Am                                              GNow Steven's in a sweat, he just can't read Kerouac books,  no
    Am                                                   GAnd Robin's all excuses, says he can't find much, but he does look
        DHe goes up to the playfair
        EmHe goes down with the stars
        C                         DHe goes wild all the weekend in a girlfriend's car
       Em                           CAnd he calls me from Chelsea and he says it's such a thrill
             D                                     EmAnd though I don't believe a word, but he keeps me talking

[Chorus]

            Am                            GAnd they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names
         Am                               GAnd they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine

[Verse]
    AmAnd did you ever have one of those days
          GWhere the world's wide open and you can do anything
            AmAnd you can go anywhere and you don't have to think
      GAbout who you'll offend every time that you even blink
    D                            EmI'm going to the station where a big red train
   C                         DIs waiting to take me to the country again
     Em                            CThen you'll come from Yonkers, but why should I care
      D                                      EmIt'll rain and rain for days and days and you know I won't be there

[Chorus]

         Am                               GAnd they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine
