Amos Lee – El Camino
Capo on 5
GWell D/F#all my friends treated me so well
You know I'Gm heCaded out to that Mission Bell
Gonna wash mGy soD/F#ul, gonna get it clean
			C  			D/F#   G–  Gsus- G  
Heading down the border road called the El Camino
Well I've been oppressed and you know I've been opposed
By a barb wire fence and a murder of crows
I’m leaving all I've loved and all I have seen
			C  		  D/F#    G–  C  
Heading down the border road called the El Camino
GHeadD/F#ing dowGn the border road called the El Camino
CYeah my hearts grown sick, 
I've got a shepherds crook as a walking stick
                    G–  Gsus- G  
And I'm heading on.
CMy hearts gone blue and I've done wrong by you
I don't know what to do 
But I'm moving D/F#on, said DI'm D7moving on
GOne and oD/F#ne is two, two and two is four
GI'm walG7king back and forth
On your crCacked tiled kitchen floor
With Gthe oD/F#range juice and the sun that shines
It reaGlly breCaks my heart leaving you behind, 
It reaGlly bD/F#reaks my Gheart      leaving you behind
	     Bm  	     		C       G–  Gsus- G  
And all my ships have sailed away
BmThe price of thiCs politic, 
That tDhere's plenty of time to pray
And DplentD7y of time to waste away.
Well to all my friends, that I've loved the most
You know I'm heading out to that other coast
I'm going to wash my soul, and I'm gonna get it clean
Heading down the border road, called the El Camino, 
Heading down the border road, called the El Camino.
