ZZ Top

Chartreuse

Intro

[hey-yeah]
[hey-hey-yeah]

Part 1

Chartreuse
Got the color that turns me loose
Chartreuse
That color just turns me loose
Better than Magenta
Better than to use
You got a shade that gets rid of the blue.
[yeah my darling]

Part 2

Chartreuse
Don't you know I like the big Caboose
Chartreuse
[Yeah-he] I like that big Caboose
It's so funky
It's so loose
It's the thing that gets rid of the blue.
[yeah-yeah]

Part 3

Chartreuse
That color just turns me loose
Chartreuse
Yeah that liquor turns me loose
It's so funky
It got that juice
She got the thing that gets a rid of them blues.
[au … yeah]
[hey yay]
[yay yay yay]
[ah-yeah]
