Chords for Michael Nesmith performs "Cruisin' (Lucy & Ramona & Sunset Sam) in Chicago on April 6, 2013

_ This was the second music video I made and it was fun.
Casting was fun.
We got Lucy and Ramona to roll with it.
But we couldn't find Sam for the longest time.
And finally an assistant came and said,
you know the body builder in a bar and asked me if you wanted to walk up and down Hollywood Boulevard
looking at me with a spiel.
_ _ And I said, from the CD, Infinite Rider on the Big Dog.
And I said, if Ramona can't get the elephant in her heart,
then I'll do it for you. _ _ _ _
[E] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _
[G] Come on.
_ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ [C] Once upon [G] a time in a [C] little [Bb] town called _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _
[G] Omaha.
[F] Lucy and [Bb] Ramona [C] couldn't stand the threat of [G] jungles and wild [Dm] animals.
[C] _ [Dm] _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _
[G] But then a [Bb] sickle-hooked ape creeped [C] somewhere along the [G] highway.
And he saw a man.
[Dm] _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ [C] He [G] rolled [D] up into his boots and [Bb] boots.
He was looking [C] for a spot to go to.
[G] He passed around a [Db] tree.
He was a misdemeanor.
[Bb] He was a [C] man [Gm] trying [Dm] to make [C] connections.
[Bb] But there was [C] a thief in the woods.
[G] He jumped the same [D] way he did it.
And here comes the sunset.
[G] Sam!
_ [Gm] Hey!
_ _ [G]
Sam!
_ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _
[D] Sam was selling watches, [Bb] trying to suitcase [C] on a TV [G] tray.
_ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] And Lucy [Ab] and Ramona [Bb] were trying to [C] figure out if it was real.
[G] _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ [C] They _ [G] three of them were the [C] actors.
[Bb] They're incredible.
[C] _
[Gm] When the light behind their eyes blew [C] the other's heart,
[Gm] the ant's [Bb] cold breath and the angel's [C] devil's [Gm] hand,
they said to the angel,
[D] they saw him a sunset.
[G] _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ [Dm]
[G] Alright.
_ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] They all looked [A] up and up,
and [F] people were laughing.
[A] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[A] Lucy and [Dm] Ramona had [G] never seen [C] a sunset Sam.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
[G] _ [Dm] [C] Oh.
[Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ [Gm] _
_ [Dm] _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ [G] _
[Bb] Lucy was a talker, and she met [G] Ramona at the zoo.
_ [Dm] _ [Bb] Hey!
_ [F] _ [A]
[G] And Ramona was a [Bb] pervert.
She left [C] before [G] she could leave.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Gm] _
Sam [Db] was a [Gm] native of the Arizona [C] area.
[G] But he lived [F] in the [Bb] city camp of the governmental [C] paperwork,
[G] with their different sets [D] of [Gb] sightings.
[Bb] When they caught a bug [C] with a high kick,
[G] they were [Dm] all [Cm] coming from the [G] same place [D] that made their famous song,
[G] Sam's Sunset.
[C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] [G] Alright.
_ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] [F] I have to be a _ [A] _ musician. _
[F] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[F] Never let a stranger [C] do more than me. _
[A] Lucy and Ramona [Dm] and their [G] mother's sunset [C] _ Sam.
_ _ _ It's [F] just as they ever was.
[A] _ _ _ _
[F] People on the street [A] just trying to buy a land.
[F] People on the street, [C] they were doing _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] what their sons [C] had said. _ _ _ _ _ _
