Man on the Prowl Queen
The Works, 1984
Mercury
The majority of this song is improvisational and flexible, I'm giving you the basic form
the chords implied on the piano, but its tricky because of the walking baseline, plus
vocal part can be deceptive.
I added the 7th where I could hear for sure they were on the record, but a 7 can be
easily added to any chord anywhere in the tune.
Intro:
G (baseline: G-B-D-E)
Verse:
[G]Gonna take a little walk on the wild side,
[D7]Gonna loosen up and give me some gas
Gonna g[G]et me some action, goin crazy drivin in the fast lane
[C](lane) My baby left me alone
She left me [G]dirty and I'm feeling so lonely
So come h[D]ome, come home, [C7] If you dont youre gonna break my hear[G]t
Chorus (similar to the second half of the verse):
[(G)] Man on the prow[C]l Man on the town...
Im on the l[G]oose and now Im looking for trouble
[D]So look out, look out, [C7] cause Im a man on the prowl![G]
Verse 2 (same as the first):
[(G)]I dont wanna be rockin instead
[D7]I just wanna be low down trash
I wanna g[G]o to the movies, all I wanna do is sit on my as[C]s
[C](ass) So honey come home
Dont [G]leave me while I'm feeling so lonely
So come h[D]ome, come home, [C7] if you dont youre gonna break my heart[G]
Chorus (similar to the second half of the verse):
[(G)] Man on the prow[C]l Man on the town...
Im on the l[G]oose and now Im looking for trouble
[D] [C7] [G]
[G-F#-E-D)]So look out, look out, cause Im a man on the prowl!
Bridge:
[C]Ive been dreaming bout my baby but it aint gonna get me nowh[G]ere
[(G)]Gonna t[C]each my baby dancing, but I a[D]int no Fred Astaire
So baby look out[G-G] [F-F] Im a[C] man[D] on the prowl
Loo[G-G]k out[F-F] I[C]m a [D]man on the prowl
[C] [D] Yeah yeah [C] [D] Yeah Yeah [D7]baby,baby,baby come home
G (solo starts)
Man on the prowl yeah
Guitar Solo/last verse (same as verse)
The outro is just a jam on a G, no real chord changes.
Gotta love Rockabilly Revival! Enjoy!
