[D] [E] [G]
[E] Pick it up
Got [A] [G]
my eyes in a fire down in Texas
You got a toehold in [D] Tennessee
I [G] got a foot in the door [C] of that California [G] store
I'm [D] up to my [G] ears
[C] Don't be concerned if the song [G] sounds familiar
Don't be [C] concerned if it all [D] seems the same
Just [C] be concerned that your [G] policies will kill you
And it's all [D] just [G] public domain
I took a bite of the big apple
And I dabbled in that [D] forbidden fruit
You [G] know they promised me points
[C] And then slipped me skinny joints
[G] And I've yet [D] to see me [Em] in a loop
[G] For that man [D] in the high heeled [G] goosey shoe
Don't [C] be concerned if the song [G] sounds familiar
Don't [C] be concerned if it all [D] seems the same
Just [C] be concerned that your [G] policies will kill you
And it's all [D] just [G] public domain
I
[D] [G]
[C] [G]
[D] [G] [G#] [A]
sang in the Red River Valley
I drank with the poets [E] at Santa Fe
[A] Yeah, I ran from the snuff [D] queens in Dallas
[A] Like I [E] ran from Sir [F#m] Wyatt in L.A.
[A] Now I've broken [E] all my [A] mouth to be more than a [Am] kid
[D] Don't be concerned if the [A] song sounds familiar
Don't be [D] concerned if it [E] all seems the same
[D] Just be concerned that your [A] policies will kill you
And it's [D] all [E] just public [F#m] domain
[A] It makes sense to [E] get into [A] the red river valley
[E] Pick it up
Got [A] [G]
my eyes in a fire down in Texas
You got a toehold in [D] Tennessee
