Locked into Green - Graham Parker

G dm em c I find i fall into each night what passes for a dream

G dm em c But all i see are pinks and blacks and i don’t know what they mean

Cm gm bm e My opponent’s got the edge but his face just can’t be seen

E c d g c g And i…'m locked into green

I been up since 8 oclock smoking endless cigarettes

And i’ll be at the table as the bookies take their bets

A shot of drink to steady nerves and i’ll wipe that table clean

And i…'m locked into green

C g Reds and blues, yellows, greens and browns

C d If i keep my eye in i will put them down

Cm gm bm e There’s other ways of life out there but there’s nothing they could mean

E c d g f e Because i…'m locked into green

E c d g c g Oh i…'m locked into green

G g c g g g c g

I’m locked into green, i’m locked into green

G g

I’m locked into green /pre>
