G      D          C
Willie we've been constant companions
G  D       C
In all the light and shade
C       D       Em
We have spent a million dollars
C                   D
To find out what we made.

We have made the maidens marvel
With things we do and say
Down, down and out brother
Up, up in the way.

G                     D        C
If you see me gettin' smaller I'm leavin'
         Am
Don't be grieven'
            C   D         G
Just got to get away from here
G                     D             C
If you see me gettin' smaller don't worry
          Am
I'm in no hurry
             C     D      G
I've got the right to disappear.

God bless old Philadelphia
They were standing in the rain
Out in front of the main point
Wet and lonely train.

Who knows who they came to see
A mad man full of beer
A four piece band and a charter bus
My border line career.
