E Eb9 G F Dm Dm/B Am Esus G#m
[Intro]
((E Eb9 E) x3 G F) x2
[Verse]
E Eb9 E E Eb9 E
Oh no Ma, what have I done
E Eb9 E G F
I'm on the run I've gone to California
E Eb9 E E Eb9 E
I kissed you goodbye with a tear in my eye
E Eb9 E G F
I packed up my truck and went for a drive
E Eb9 E E Eb9 E
These white yellow lines, these angel filled skies
E Eb9 E G F
The Road might be long, but it's my road tonight
E Eb9 E E Eb9 E
It's a Leonard Cohen song, a Buddah/Allah Monk
E Eb9 E N.C.
You can be anything you want, I'm an Italian Catholic punk and I'm on my way
E Eb9 E E Eb9 E
On my way
E Eb9 E G F
Oh la la lo, I'm on my way
E Eb9 E x3
G F
E Eb9 E E Eb9 E
The ocean appears, the wind slaps my face
E Eb9 E G F
Oh, Shangri La, what a beautiful place
E Eb9 E E Eb9 E
I'm nervous but steady, I'm scared but I'm ready
E Eb9 E G F
No turning back, 3000 miles in a Chevy
E Eb9 E E Eb9 E
And I slam on the breaks, put my toes in the sand
E Eb9 E G F
Look to the consellations and I throw up my hands, I said,
E Eb9 E E Eb9 E
God be my driver, God be my lighter
E Eb9 E G F
Nobody ages, I guess nobody dies here
[Chorus]
Dm Dm/B G#m Am
I'll be careful for what I wish for in this life
G F Esus E
Cause I know, I'll miss yesterday
Dm Dm/B G#m Am
I'll come back to you before I'm old and grey
G F
I'll come home
Esus E
I'll be back again
[Verse]
E Eb9 E x3
G F
E Eb9 E E Eb9 E
The sky turned red, the ocean pulled away
E Eb9 E G F
What the hell's going on? How come no one's afraid?
E Eb9 E E Eb9 E
I said "Hey Mr Soul, what you got for me?"
E Eb9 E G F
I pulled out my wallet, I know nothing here's free
E Eb9 E E Eb9 E
And God do you back this, this town is a black list
E Eb9 E G F
Oh boy what a big mess even Mickey's on acid
E Eb9 E E Eb9 E
I'm willing, and able My cards are on this fable
E Eb9 E G F
Come on, Alice, we're too good to wait tables
[Chorus]
Dm Dm/B G#m Am
I'll be careful for what I wish for in this life
G F Esus E
Cause I know, I'll miss yesterday
Dm Dm/B G#m Am
I'll come back to you before I'm old and grey
G F Esus E
I'll come home...I'll be back again
[Bridge]
Dm F Esus E
I'll be back again
Dm F Esus E
Back again
Dm F Esus E
Ooooo, ooo ooo Oooo
Dm F Esus E
Back again
Dm F Esus E
Ooooo, ooo ooo Oooo
Dm F Esus E
AND OOOOH-OH-OH OOOOOOH
N.C.
