AmWell, it's so good to be here asleep on your lawn
AmRemember your guard dog?
AmWell, I'm afraid that he's gone

Well, I Fhear that Laurel Canyon E7is full of famous stars
AmBut I hate them worse than lepers and I'll kill them in their cars
[Outro]
Am   F   Am   Dm7

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Well, we live in a trailer at the edge of town

You never see us because we don't come around

F Am

We got twenty five rifles just to keep the population down

Dm7

But we need you now and that's why

I'm hangin' 'round

So you be good to me and I'll be good to you

And in this land of conditions

I'm not above suspicion

I won't attack you but I won't back you

[Verse 2]

Well, it's so good to be here asleep on your lawn

Remember your guard dog?

Well, I'm afraid that he's gone

F Am

It was such a drag to hear him whining all night long

Dm7

Yes, that was me with the doves setting them free near the factory

Where you built your computer love

F E7

I hope you get the connection because I can't take the rejection

I won't deceive you, I just don't believe you

Well, I'm a barrel of laughs with my carbine on

I keep 'em hopping until my ammunition's gone

But I'm still not happy

I feel like there's something wrong

Dm7

I got the revolution blues

I see bloody fountains

And ten million dune buggies coming down the mountains

F E7

Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon is full of famous stars

But I hate them worse than lepers and I'll kill them in their cars
