[Verse 1]

  Fmaj7                 F6
I thought it was like a film
  Gm7              C7
Reviewed but never seen
      Fmaj7                F6
Where everybody played themselves
     Gm7           C7
As a drama king or queen


[Verse 2]

    Fmaj7         F6
The music was overwhelming
Gm7            C7
Glittering and thin
Fmaj7                    F6
Solemn and shabby like a requiem
   Gm7              C7
In denim and leopardskin


[Verse 3]

  Fmaj7          F6
I visualised the flashbacks:
Gm7                  C7
School, punk rock, success
Fmaj7                F6
Parties, too much of everything
    Gm7                       C7
The clichés, the candles, the mess


[Pre-Chorus]

Ebmaj7
Lucien in the scene with David
Bb7sus4    Bb7
Brian in a tux
  Ebmaj7
A copy of Blitz in Zanzibar
    Bb7sus4     Bb7
Old Hollywood redux
Ebmaj7
Ossie's last collection
Bb7sus4        Bb7
Biba's closing sale
  Ebmaj7
A little more rouge on the powdered cheeks
        Bb7sus4
But the base is pale


[Chorus]

            Fmaj7
This is our last chance for goodbye
        Bb      C
Let the music begin
Fmaj7
Shining and soaring like a requiem
   Bb               C      | N.C. |
In denim and leopardskin


[Verse 4]

   Fmaj7        F6
It ended with a motorbike
  Gm7           C7
A search for evidence
Fmaj7           F6
Poring over old photographs
   Gm7              C7
To make it all fake sense
Fmaj7            F6
Glamorous in its own way
Gm7                C7
Shouting above the din
Fmaj7                    F6
Solemn and shabby like a requiem
   Gm7              C7
In denim and leopardskin


[Pre-Chorus]

Ebmaj7
Johnny's wearing brothel-creepers
Bb7sus4             Bb7
Malcolm's round the block
Ebmaj7
Adam's in a Jarman film
    Bb7sus4         Bb7
The look is "Let It Rock"
  Ebmaj7
A Johnson's leather jacket
Bb7sus4          Bb7
Hair by Keith at Smile
Ebmaj7
All you need to make it big
   Bb7sus4
Is sex and style


[Chorus]

            Fmaj7
This is our last chance for goodbye
        Bb      C
Let the music begin
Fmaj7
Shining and soaring like a requiem
   Bb               C
In denim and leopardskin


[Chorus]

            Fmaj7
This is our last chance for goodbye
        Bb      C
Let the music begin
Fmaj7
Shining and soaring like a requiem
   Bb               C
In denim and leopardskin
