[Intro]

C/G

[Verse 1]

C/G

There's a dance hall there

Fmaj7

Where the sick folks go

C/G

Like the olden days on the Barbary Coast

Fmaj7 C/G

There's a barefoot child playing in the rain

You can sell your wares even if they're hot

Fmaj7 C/G

In the great bazaar or the parking lot

Fmaj7 C/G

Cause it takes a while to know who to blame

Fmaj7

I might have a taste cause the first one's free

C/G

And the checkout girl's got a thing for me

Fmaj7

And they're both as sweet as the day is the long

Dm G

I don't wanna feel stuck, baby

Dm G C/G

I just wanna get drunk before noon

C/G Fmaj7 C/G Fmaj7 Dm G C/G

[Verse 2]

C/G Fmaj7

I don't mind my head when there's room to dream

C/G

Feel like Paul Gauguin painting breadfruit trees

Fmaj7 C/G

In some far off place where I don't belong

C/G Fmaj7

Tried to lose myself in the primitive

C/G

In Yosemite like John Muir did

Fmaj7 C/G

But his eyes were blue and mine are red and raw

C/G Fmaj7

'Cause the modern world is a sight to see

C/G

It's a stimulant, it's pornography

Fmaj7

It takes all my will not to turn it off

Dm G

I don't want you to feel sad, baby

Dm G C/G

I take everything back, I swear I do

[Outro]

F Em G

Cause once all the friends I had

C/G G Am

Have used me up and left

I bet you hang around

I bet you'll hang around awhile

C/G Fmaj7 C/G Fmaj7 Dm G Dm G C/G
