[D] There's a dance hall there where the sick folks go, [G] like the olden day on the
Barbary [D] coat.
There's a barefoot child, she's [G] playing in the rain.
[D] You can sell
your wares, even if they're [G] hot, in the great bazaar or the parking [D] lot,
cause it takes a while to know who [G] to blame.
[D] I might have a taste, cause the
first one's free, and the checkout girl's got a thing for me, [D] and they're both as
sweet as the [G] day is long.
[Em] I don't wanna feel [A] stuck, baby, [E] I just wanna get [A] drunk,
before [D] noon.

[D]
[A] I don't mind my head, if there's room to [G] dream, feel like Paul
Gauguin, painting [D] breadfruit trees in some far-off place where [A] I don't [G] belong.
Tried
[D] to lose myself in the primitive, [G] in Yosemite, like John Muir [D] did, but his
eyes were blue, and [G] mine are red and raw,
[D] cause the modern world, [A] it's a sight to
see.
[G] It's a stimulant, it's pornography, [D] it takes all my will now, not [G] to turn it
off.
[Em] Don't want you to [A] feel sad, baby, [E] I take everything [A] back, I swear [D] I do, [G] cause
once all the friends I [A] had, have used me [Bm] up and left, well I bet you [Em] hang around, I
bet [A] you hang around, a while.
