Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 1
I was (D major) just fifteen and out of
control (A major) (D major) lost (G major) to James Dean and (D major) rock and roll
I knew down (G major) deep in my country (D major) soul
that I (A major) had to get away (A minor)
(D major) Hollywood was a lady in red (A major) who
(D major) danced (G major) in my dreams as I tossed (D major) in bed
I knew I?d (G major) wind up in (D major) jail or
dead (A major) if I have to stay (D major)
I thought hap (G major) piness was Lubbock
Texas (A major) in my rearview mir (D major) ror
My mama (G major) kept calling me home (A major) but I
just did (D major) not want (A major) to hear (B minor) her (A major)
And the (G major) vision was getting
clear (A flatdim) er (E major) in my dream (A major)
So (D major) I let out one night in June stoned (G major) on
the glow of (D major) the Texas moon
Humming an old Buddy Holly tune called
Peggy (A major) Sue (pretty, pretty Peggy Sue)
With my (D major) fa vorite jeans and a cheap
guitar I ran off (G major) chasing (D major) a distant star
If Buddy (G major) Holly could make (D major) it that
far then (A major) I figured I could too (D major)
I thought hap (G major) piness was Lubbock
Texas (A major) in my rearview mir (D major) ror
My mama (G major) kept calling me home (A major) but I
just did (D major) not (A major) want to hear (B minor) her (A major)
(D major) And the (G major) vision was getting
clear (A flatdim) er (E major) in my dream (A major)
But the Hollywood (B minor) moon didn't smile
the same old smile (F sharp minor) that I?d grown up with
The (B minor) lady in red just (A major) wanted my last dime (C major)
And I cried (D major) myself to sleep (F sharp minor) at night
(B minor) too dumb to run too scared (D major) to fight
And (G major) too proud to ad (A flatdim) mit
(E major) it at the time (A major)
So I got (D major) me some gigs on Saturday night (G major) not
much more than orches (D major) trated fights
I?d come home (G major) drunk and I tried (D major) to write
but the words (A major) came out all wrong
(D major) Hell bent and bound for a wasted youth (G major) too
much gin and not enough (D major) vermouth
And (G major) no one to teach me to seek (D major) the truth
before I (A major) put an end to this song (D major)
I still thought hap (G major) piness was Lubbock
Texas (A major) in my rearview mir (D major) ror
My mama (G major) kept calling me home (A major) but I just could (D major) not,
(A major) would not hear (B minor) her (D major)
And the (G major) vision was getting clear (A flatdim)
er (E major) in my dream (A major) (Asus4)
(A major) Well (D major) I thank God each and every day for
giving me the (G major) music and the words (D major) to say
I?d (G major) never had made it any (D major) other way
he was my (A major) only friend (D major) (A major)
Now (D major) I sleep a little (A major) better each night (D major) and when
I look in (G major) the mirror in the morning (D major) light
The (G major) man I see was both (D major) wrong and
right (A major) he's going home again (D major)
I guessed hap (G major) piness was Lubbock
Texas (A major) in my rearview mirror (D major)
But now hap (G major) piness was Lubbock Texas (A major)
growing nearer (D major) (A major) and (B minor) dearer (D major)
And the vision (G major) was getting
clear (A flatdim) er (E major) in my dream (A major)
And I think (G major) I finally know (A flatdim)
just (E major) what it means (A major)
(G major) And when I die you can (A flatdim) bury me (E major) (A flatdim) in Lub
bock Texas (G major) (G major) in my jeans
