Pride of Cucamonga
From The Mars Hotel
(Lesh/Peterson)
A                       E
Out on the edge of an empty highway,
B              E
Howling at the blood on the moon,
    A                 E
Big diesel Mack truck rolling down my way,
B              A                E   A    E
Can't hit that border too soon.
A                     E
Running hard out of Muskrat Flats,
       B             E
It was sixty days or double life,
   A                     E
Hail on my back like a shotgun blast,
  B                      A
High wind chimes in the night.
D                       G        C
Oh, oh the Pride of Cucamonga,
D                           G    C
Oh, oh bitter olives in the sun,
D                    C
Oh, oh I had me some lovin',
      G             A               E    A   E
And I done some time.
A                     E
Since I came down from Oregon, there's a
       B             E
Lesson or two I've learned
   A                     E
By standing in the road alone,
  B                      A
Standing watching the fires burn.
A                     E
The northern sky it stinks with greed,
       B             E
You can smell it heavy for miles around,
   A                     E
Good ole boys in the Greystone Hotel,
  B                      A
Sitting doing that git on down.
D                       G        C
Oh, oh the Pride of Cucamonga,
D                           G    C
Oh, oh silver apples in the sun,
D                    C
Oh, oh I had me some lovin',
  G             A               E    A   E
And I done some time.
A                     E
I see your silver shining town,
       B             E
But I know I can't go there
   A                     E
Your streets run deep with poisoned wine,
  B                      A
Your doorways crawl with fear.
A                     E
So I think I'll drift for ol' where it's at,
       B             E
Where the weed grows green and fine
   A                     E
And wrap myself around a bush of that bright,
  B                      A
Whoa, on Oaxaca vine.
D                       G        C
Yes, it's me, I'm the Pride of Cucamonga,
D                           G    C
I can see golden forests in the sun.
D                    C
Oh, oh I had me some lovin',
                D   A
And I done some time.
      G         D   A
And I done some time.
      G         D   A  G  Bm  E   A   E
And I done some time.
