Verse 1:
 Fmaj7         F6
I thought it was like a film
 Gm7       C7
Reviewed but never seen
   Fmaj7        F6
Where everybody played themselves
   Gm7      C7
As a drama king or queen


Verse 2:
  Fmaj7     F6
The music was overwhelming
Gm7      C7
Glittering and thin
Fmaj7          F6
Solemn and shabby like a requiem
  Gm7       C7
In denim and leopardskin


Verse 3:
 Fmaj7     F6
I visualised the flashbacks:
Gm7         C7
School, punk rock, success
Fmaj7        F6
Parties, too much of everything
  Gm7            C7
The clichés, the candles, the mess


Pre-Chorus:
Ebmaj7
Lucien in the scene with David
Bb7sus4  Bb7
Brian in a tux
 Ebmaj7
A copy of Blitz in Zanzibar
  Bb7sus4   Bb7
Old Hollywood redux
Ebmaj7
Ossie's last collection
Bb7sus4    Bb7
Biba's closing sale
 Ebmaj7
A little more rouge on the powdered cheeks
    Bb7sus4
But the base is pale


Chorus:
      Fmaj7
This is our last chance for goodbye
    Bb   C
Let the music begin
Fmaj7
Shining and soaring like a requiem
  Bb        C   | N.C. |
In denim and leopardskin


Verse 4:
  Fmaj7    F6
It ended with a motorbike
 Gm7      C7
A search for evidence
Fmaj7      F6
Poring over old photographs
  Gm7       C7
To make it all fake sense
Fmaj7      F6
Glamorous in its own way
Gm7        C7
Shouting above the din
Fmaj7          F6
Solemn and shabby like a requiem
  Gm7       C7
In denim and leopardskin


Pre-Chorus:
Ebmaj7
Johnny's wearing brothel-creepers
Bb7sus4       Bb7
Malcolm's round the block
Ebmaj7
Adam's in a Jarman film
  Bb7sus4     Bb7
The look is "Let It Rock"
 Ebmaj7
A Johnson's leather jacket
Bb7sus4     Bb7
Hair by Keith at Smile
Ebmaj7
All you need to make it big
  Bb7sus4
Is sex and style

In denim and leopardskin

In denim and leopardskin
