AmNothing, my Emfriend, is Fharder to leave

But Amthis is my EmMain Street, my Fred neon sign
And I'm Dmjust another Frecord store, Ghanging on a vine
I Amwalk like I've been Emkneelin' on these FRolling Stones
DmDoctor tells me hFe can hear the GBeatles in my bones
You Amnever know the Emgold you can Ffind out there
Until you Dmput the needle dFown and do some Gdiggin' in the air
[Chorus]
CWell, Fwell, Cwell
All I Fsee is all I Ctell
