Verse 1
(B flat major) (F major) (C major) I was raised on a little farm,
off a (F major) dirt road on R -D -3. (C major) (G major)
(C major) Once a (G major) week (C major) while we'd go to town,
just to (D major) see what there was
there that was (G major) going down.
(C major) Behind a (G major) barn, watching train (C major) s go by,
until (F major) the day I jumped
and caught one (D major) on the fly.
I said good (C major) bye farm, life is (F major) tough,
had to (G major) get a city bound. (C major)
(F major)
(D major) (C major) (B flat major) (F major) (C major)
I came to town to a (G major) yellow
fact (C major) ory smock,
slowly (F major) choking from the (C major) smoke,
honking cars to leave the cursed sky,
I (D major) picked up a bunch of tender
shingles (G major) from my eye,
(C major) twelve people knocked me off my feet,
they (F major) sent me helter -skelter
to a (D major) garbage heap,
the (C major) street sweeper swept me up
and (F major) dumped me on the (G major) road to the
farm (C major) (F major)
(D major) (C major) (B flat major) (F major) (C major)
By the time I could walk back home
I (F major) saw him what he paved the (C major) road
He cleared the (G major) land (C major) for
a Hamburg stand
Down the (D major) street he built himself
a neat trail (G major) er camp
A (C major) driving show (G major) an (C major) d a home for me
I took a (F major) goofy golf course and a (D major) roller rink
He (C major) left me no choice but to (F major) go and dig a (G major) hole
in (C major) the sand (F major) (D major) (C major) (B flat major) (F major) (C major)
Here I am on the edge of land
Look (F major) ing toward the stormy (C major) sea
The sky is filled with aeroplanes (G major)
(C major) And (D major) powerboats and yachts
are running dead (G major) at sea
(C major) In camp it's (G major) cars (C major) and
bikes and buses
People (F major) everywhere are (D major) caught
in traffic rushes
Running (C major) from the farm to the (F major) town
Through the (G major) hole in the ground (C major)
Yeah, I guess we've finally come to a time
(F major) When there's not too
much of everything (D major)
But remember (C major) , use your (B flat major) liv er (F major) (C major)
