[Verse 1]
Db
In some Polynesian dive
Gb
Downwind from the badlands
Ab
But-but-but-but
Db
The palace at 4 A.M
Gb                          Ab
We kick through the diamond dust
          E
Halfway between Vancouver and
          Gb
The bingo game that made the man
           Db
Kicking around in promised land

[Verse 2]
Db
Just one flick of the wrist
Gb
One flick of the wrist
Ab
And look, look, look
             Db
We're in the palace at 4 A.M
       Gb
When a daydream threw the covers
Ab
Back, back, back, back
E
Back before you saw
           Gb
The ribbon tied around your bomb
              Db                     Abm
When you were kicking hearts around

[Chorus]
                       E
It was a straight shot, a straight shot
B                            E     Abm
But, lady, would you call it art?
                E
A straight shot, a straight shot
B                            E
But, lady, would you call it art?
B                       E     Db
Lady, would you call it art?

[Verse 3]
Db
Now, no more pushing words around
Gb                       Ab
No more pushing words around
Ab
But-but-but
Db
In the palace at 4 A.M
       Gb                     Ab
You're asking for the book to be thrown down
E
It opens with a thud
              Gb
With the dumb luck that was sublime
          Db                             Abm
Kicking around in promised land

[Chorus]
                     E
With a straight shot, a straight shot
     B                       E     Abm
But, lady, would you call it art?
                E
A straight shot, a straight shot
     B                       E
But, lady, would you call it art?
B                       E     Db
Lady, would you call it art?

[Outro]

Db
Now, no more pushing words around
Gb                       Ab
No more pushing words around
Db
No more pushing words around
Gb                       Ab
No more pushing words around
