 Bm= 999000 or 224422
 D= 000200
 Em= 222000
 F= 333200

FI crossed the highways like I Ddid as a Fchild
BmOn my way to the Ammovies, I Gpet cats and Fsmile
FI walk the back alleys, their DJohn Steinback Fcalm
BmFake trees, Amlemon trees, Gtall shady Fpalms
EmBig empty churches, Dold antique Amstores
EmPeeling Victorians that Dused to house Amwhores
EmI take the back streets Dback to my Amdigs
EmAnd look up at skies like I Ddid as a Amkid
FMy bedroom window, I’d Dlook out and Fdream
BmOf a life Amclose to Gwhat I’m Fliving
FA traveling singer who Dplays good Fguitar
BmAt outdoor Amfestivals, Gtheaters and Fbars
EmAnd I got a Dnice girl, she’s beautiful Amtoo
EmWe’re destined to Dbe this, I know to be Amtrue
EmSure there were Dothers, but nothing this Amnice
EmShe set the Dbait and I took the Ambite
EmThe streets of FMartinez, I Glove them Amso
EmI walk around Fthinking the Gsun’s always Amlow
EmThe cats of FMartinez, I lGove them Amso
EmI feed them at Fnight, they Grun off and Amgo
EmFour kitty Fcats, Ggave them their nAmames
EmMonster Fluff, FHalf Fluff, GNo Fluff and AmSammy
EmThey’re the Fhighlights of my Gsongwriting Amdays
EmThey’re happy to Fsee me, we Gsit and we Amplay
FThese are some words I Dwrote down last Fnight
BmI’ve beat ‘em to Amdeath and I Gcan’t get ‘em Fright
FSongwriting’s lonely, Dsongwriting Fhurts
BmA relentless iAmtch and Gbed bug Fcurse
EmSongwriting Dcosts, it doesn’t come Amfree
EmAsk Eliot DSmith, ask Richie AmLee
EmAsk Mark LinDkous, ask Shannon AmHoon
EmTo get up on Dstage and sing you a tuAmne
FThis business is troubling, a Dbig nagging Fcyst
BmYou get on this Amplane and I’ll sGit at your Fdesk
FAnd I’ll leave at eight and Dbe home by Ffive
BmCall me from AmWarsaw if Gyou have Ftime
EmEver wonder why Dthere aren’t Ammore
EmThan ten songs on most Dalbums, cause it’s a Amchore
EmTo write half a dozen, Dsome guys lay Amback
EmAnd rest on their lDaurels 
Like lazy old Amhacks
EmWell I wrote Fthis one
And I Gknow it ain’t gAmreat
EmWe’ll probably Fsequence it
TGrack number Ameight
EmAnd pick up some water at F7-11
On my Gway to the mastering Amsession
EmThe streets of MarFtinez, I Glove them Amso
EmI walk out the Fdoor and the Gsun always Amflows
EmThe cats of MarFtinez, I Glove them Amso
EmThey help me Fforget my Gsongwriting Amwoes

I crossed the highways like I did as a child

On my way to the movies, I pet cats and smile

F D F

I walk the back alleys, their John Steinback calm

Bm Am G F

Fake trees, lemon trees, tall shady palms

Em D Am

Big empty churches, old antique stores

Em D Am

Peeling Victorians that used to house whores

Em D Am

I take the back streets back to my digs

Em D Am

And look up at skies like I did as a kid

F D F

My bedroom window, I’d look out and dream

Bm Am G F

Of a life close to what I’m living

F D F

A traveling singer who plays good guitar

Bm Am G F

At outdoor festivals, theaters and bars

Em D Am

And I got a nice girl, she’s beautiful too

Em D Am

We’re destined to be this, I know to be true

Em D Am

Sure there were others, but nothing this nice

Em D Am

She set the bait and I took the bite

Em F G Am

The streets of Martinez, I love them so

Em F G Am

I walk around thinking the sun’s always low

Em F G Am

The cats of Martinez, I love them so

Em F G Am

I feed them at night, they run off and go

Four kitty cats, gave them their names

Monster Fluff, Half Fluff, No Fluff and Sammy

They’re the highlights of my songwriting days

A relentless itch and bed bug curse

Ask Eliot Smith, ask Richie Lee

Ask Mark Linkous, ask Shannon Hoon

To get up on stage and sing you a tune

This business is troubling, a big nagging cyst

You get on this plane and I’ll sit at your desk

And I’ll leave at eight and be home by five

Bm Am G F

Call me from Warsaw if you have time

Em D Am

Ever wonder why there aren’t more

Than ten songs on most albums, cause it’s a chore

To write half a dozen, some guys lay back

Em D

And rest on their laurels

Like lazy old hacks

Em F

Well I wrote this one

G Am

And I know it ain’t great

Em F

We’ll probably sequence it

G Am

Track number eight

Em F

And pick up some water at 7-11

G Am

On my way to the mastering session

Em F G Am

The streets of Martinez, I love them so

Em F G Am

I walk out the door and the sun always flows
