  Kamata City shining
    G                   B
  smokestack city lightning
           G
  you're frightened
   B              A
  now we must embrace


  Like I kissed your beating heart
  and kiss beneath your hat
  and take you on your mat
  oh, silver night

        A               F#                G
        it's just like Disneyland in the night
              Bm

        our lives will never be the same


  Didn't do well with mother
  after seven whiskeys
  got frisky
  tried to get her to dance


  Almost missed my mark
  the dogs began to bark
  so I dragged you in the park
  once again


instrumental:	2x A B G B G B


        Kamata Hollywood City shining
        my wife's best friend, you changed your mind
        it's just like Disneyland after dark
        you shook me
        our lives will never be the same


instrumental:	2x A B G B G B


        Kamata Hollywood City shining
        my wife's best friend, you changed your mind
        it's just like Disneyland after dark
        you ruin me
        our lives will never be the same


  Happy shoppers stare at me
  drunk along the street
  boots upon my feet
  "Oh, where he's from?"


  Now I'm lost in the city
  this could be the end
  better phone up my wife's friend
  and here you come


instrumental:	2x A B G B G B


        Kamata Hollywood City shining
        my wife's best friend, you changed your mind
        it's just like Disneyland in the night
        you shook me
        our lives will never be the same
