Verse 1
G 
C 
I've been long,
G 
C 
a long way from here
G 
C 
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
G 
C 
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
G 
C 
We went searchin',
G 
C 
through thrift store jungles
G 
C 
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
G 
C 
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
D 
Well, okay, I made this up
C 
D 
I promised you I'd never give up
