capo 3
intro progression
Bm G A F#m x 3 times

Dm

Get out of the heat.

Dm
When the rats are running

  and the boys are gunning
       A                Bm
  for heads on a tin plate ---
                          G
  you can hear the footfall
       A                 Bm
  softly in the back yard.
                            G
And the black jack is called
      A                  F#7
  face up on the last card.
Dm
You'd better call your witness

  in your dirty business.

   A               Bm
Trop tard sera le cri.
                         G
Better run while you can ---
         A               Bm
  better set the tall sail.
                      G
Better make deep cover
              A                  F#(7)
  before the boys have you nailed.
        Bm                 G
There's just one chance to get away ---
        A                   G          A
  I'll catch up with you another day.
          Bm                      G
I'll close my eyes and count to ten
         A             G          A
  and come right after you again.

Bm /// G /// A// F#m x 3 times
SPOKEN
Grab your credit cards ---
  cash in on your resources.
Take your passport from the drawer,
  don't stop to change the horses.

Dm G Dm some times

rest of lyrics
Get out of the heat.

Now can you feel the pressure?
Have you got the measure
  of being a wanted man?
Cold drink in your hand ---
  hot sweat on your brow.
And there's no understanding
  going to help you now.

D C Bb Am Gm  x2

Bm /// G /// A// F#m for the part below
Grab your credit cards ---
  cash in on your resources.
Take your passport from the drawer,
  don't stop to change the horses.
Notify all parties
  of an earlier vacation.
No use trying to board the train
  after it's left the station.
