[Verse 1]
        Am
There was heat in the air
                        Dm
And cops everywhere you looked
         Am
So there wasn't a lot
                                Dm       G   
And the breaks that you got You know you took
                F               C
And I remember wonderin' Where you've been
G                 F               C
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

[Chorus]
C                                 F
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
                               C          G
They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
     C                            F
The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace
                            C
There was amazement on his face
                         G
On the night that Eddie failed 
           C
Sanity prevailed

[Verse 2]
       Am   
It was June or July
                              Dm  
When the heat from above beat down
        Am   
It was famine or drought
                              Dm      G 
When the brothers went out of style uptown
                  F           C 
And we was mixin' Vicks with lemon gin
G                 F               C
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

[Chorus]
C                                 F
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
                               C          G
They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
     C                             F
The night Spanish Eddie made front page
                       C
His revolution came of age
                            G
He wrote "Surrender" on the wall
                      C
The night he took the fall

[Bridge]
F               Dm               G
I heard someone say "He's tryin' to fly"
Am              C                    G
Like Eddie used to say We'll do when we die

G              F               C
I know someone turned you For a spin
G                 F               C
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

[Chorus]
C                                 F
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
                               C          G
They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
     C                            F
The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace
                            C
There was amazement on his face
                         G
On the night that Eddie failed 
           C
Sanity prevailed

[Outro]
C                                F
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
                               C           G
They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
C                                F
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
                               C           G
They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
C                                F
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
                               C           G
They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
