This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us

Starts with A Asus4 for about 6 bars. Probably fades in form 8 bars.

The chords for the verse are
|Asus4  A    |Asus4   Am   |Am     Gm     |Gm     Dm     |

|Dm          |Dm           |Gm     Am     |G(m)   A      |

Zoo time is she and you time
The mammals are your favourire type, and you want her tonight
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers

Flying domestic flying
And when the stewardess is near do not show any fear
Heartbeat increasing heartbeat
You are a khaki-coloured bombadier it's Hiroshima that you're nearing
This town ain't big enough for both uf us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Daily, exept for Sunday
You dawdle in to the cafe where you meet her each day
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they nead their protein just like you do
This town ain't big enough for both uf us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Girls grow tops to go topless in
While we sit and count the hairs that blossom from our chins
Our voices change at a rapid pace
I could start a song a tenor and then end as bass
