Miss Antoinette she went out with a song

Selling booze and silver shoes and singing right along.

Shotgun and a limousine while the baby dolls march on

Yeah it's a long way down.


G                       A             D   A     
Down at the Maple Leaf they pack 'em in

G                             A                  D        A
And tonight we'll all get reborn to a couple fifths of gin.

G                                A             D            A
The rich boys get their money back when the banks go belly up

And over at the place they train the guards
G                                    A       D               A
With Stanton on the drums you don't need no one on guitar
G                             A       D               A
And sometimes all it takes is going way too far


G                  A   D     A
And it's the long way down
         E          F#   B   A
Yeah it's the long way down
