Tune down ~ 1/2 step  [R] = Riff Raff, [M] = Magenta, [C] = Columbia

A(6)  P.M.

           A(6)
[R] It's astounding                      [R] I remember
            B
    Time is fleeting                         Doing the Time Warp          w/ B(E)
    G        D             
    Madness                                  Drinking
              A(6)
    Takes its toll                           Those moments when

    But listen closely                       The blackness would hit me
[M] Not for very much longer             [2] And the void would be calling
[R] I've got to
    Keep control

      F     C      G    D    A(6)        !
      Let's do the Time Warp again  x 2

                                   x E(6)                        A(6)   !
      It's just a jump to the left       (and then a step to the right)
                              E(6)                          A(6)
      With your hands on your hips (you bring your knees in tight)
                           D(6)                          A(6) 
      (But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane)

      Let's do the Time Warp again  x 2

[M] It's so dreamy                       [R] With a bit of a mind flip
    Oh fantasy free me                   [M] You're into the time slip
    So you can't see me                  [R] And nothing
    No not at all                            Can ever be the same

    In another dimension                 [M] You're spaced out on sensation
    With voyeuristic intention           [R] Like you're under sedation
    Well secluded
    I'll see all

      Let's do the Time Warp again  x 2

               A(6)
[C] Well I was walking down the street just-a having a think
    When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
            D(6)
    Well it shook-a me up, it took me by surprise
             A(6)
    He had a pick-up truck and the devil's eyes
       E(6)               D(6)
    He stared at me and I felt a change
    A(6)
    Time meant nothing, never would again
