Four young chiquitas in Omaha 
Waitin' for the band to return from the show 
A feelin' good, feelin' right and it's Saturday night 
The hotel detective, he was outta sight 
Now these fine ladies, they had a plan 
They was out to meet the boys in the band 
They said, "Come on dudes, let's get it on!" 
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down 

(chorus) We're an American band -- break --- repeat chorus

A                                 G    D
I met a devil woman,
She took my heart away,
She said, I had it comin' to me,
But I wanted it that way
D                                 F    G
I think that any love is good lovin',
A                        C#m7        F#m7
So I took what I could   get         mmh mmh oooh oooh,
Bm7                         E
she looked at me with big brown eyes and said

A                             E     D
You ain't seen nothin' yet,
                      A                    E       D
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet,
                           A           E       D
Here's something that you never gonna f-forget,

B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet

A                             G    D
And now I'm feelin' better,
Cause I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor
And he told me of a cure
             D                    F     G
He said that any love is good love
A                      C#m7        F#m7
So I took what I could get, yes I took what I could get and then

September '77, Port Elizabeth weather fine
A                             D
It was business as usual In police room 619
A                       D
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
G         Bm
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
D               A
The man is dead, the man is dead

A                                 D
When I try to sleep at night I can only dream in red
A                                               D
The outside world is black and white With only one colour dead
A                       D
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
G         Bm
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja

The man is dead, the man is dead

A                                    D
You can blow out a candle But you can never blow out a fire
A                                    D
Once the flames begin to catch The wind will blow it higher
A                       D
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
G         Bm
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja

The man is dead, the man is dead
A                                  D
And the eyes of the world are watching you now
They're watching you now,

There she stood in the street,

Dsus2           D           A

Smiling from her head to her feet,

      A         D  A

I said Hey, what is this?

             Dsus2       D         A

Now baby, may be she's in need of a kiss.

 

         A              D    A

I said Hey, what is your name baby?

Dsus2       D              A

Maybe we can see things the same,

Dsus2                D       A

Now don't you wait or hesitate,

          Dsus2        D        A

Let's move before they raise the parking rate, Oh!

Watching ev'ry move on her face,

         A                 D    A

She said Look, what's your game, baby?

are you tryin' to put me in shame?

 

       A     D           A

I said slow, don't go so fast,

Dsus2           D             A

don't you think that love can last?

A              D    A

She said Love, Lord above,

Dsus2            D            A

now you're tryin' to trick me in love.
