Kerosene Man[+]

Verse I:
D
Once I was down in the promised land
                          A   D
In a borrowed tent with a caravan
D
The leader of the pack stuck out his hand
                                      A        D 
He said, "Pleased to meet you I'm the Kerosene Man"

Chorus I:
      G
And I jump and run and steal the show
D
Where it's heading I don't know
G
When these things get out of hand
D                       A        D
Look out baby, it's the Kerosene Man


Verse II:
D
Three day bender with Ray Milland
D                   A       D
Scotch and soda and candied yams
D 
Things they were getting out of hand
D                        A        D 
Ray was dancing with the Kerosene Man


Chorus II:
      G
And I jump and run and steal the show
D
Where it's heading I don't know
G
When these things get out of hand
D                       A        D
Look out baby, it's the Kerosene Man
D                       A        D
Look out baby, it's the Kerosene Man

Verse II:
Me and Mickey Mantle and Stan the Man
Were talking about a kid we couldn't understan
He batted .360 in Birmingham
Got fooled by a curveball by the Kerosene Man

Chorus II:


Chinese food in Alabama
I was looking at the menu, according to plan
Ate too much moo goo gai pan
Had one more dream about the Kerosene Man

Chorus:

And I run and jump and steal the show
Where it's heading I don't know
When these things get out of hand
Look out baby, it's the Kerosene Man
Look out baby, it's the Kerosene Man
Look out baby, it's the Kerosene Man
Look out baby, it's the kerosene Man

Look out baby it's the Kerosene Man
