by this rain and this pouring _ [E] in _ rain sweater.
_ _ _ Nebraska never let you come back [F#m] home.
_ _ [A#] _
_ [C] Now _ Hollywood _ fire, _ I drifted by the side.
_ Any night _ I'll be willing,
_ _ [F#] Beth, _ _ _ _ _ as a young child, _
_ _ with sweet little dreams
and pretty blue wishes and care. _
_ [Em] Just can't [Am] know where to be. _
_ _ _ Now the place all dry,
_ [Em] _ [Am] called a kill [C] by the old dams.
[Am] And now the couple _ [G]
[F#m] ladders burned out [E] in the [F#m] sand. _
_ [Gm] _ _ [G#] [Am] And it's the back of town, the bus [Em] stop,
[Am] maybe a good business every time it rains.
[G] _ [Am] For little girls with [Em] nothing in their [D] jeans,
[E] pretty blue wishes, [Am] sweet little dreams.
[Em] _ _ _ _ [Am] And it's the rain and it's [C] pouring.
[D] And [Am] old man is snoring.
[G] _ [Am] _ Now I'll be let [C] down [D] asleep.
[Am] I hear the sirens in [G] the street.
[D] _ [Am] All my dreams made [Em] of [Am] chrome.
[F#] I have no [E] way to [F#m] get [Gm] back [G#] home.
[Am] I'd rather [A] die [D] before I wake.
[Am] Like Marilyn [D] Monroe.
_ I used to [Am] throw my dreams out in the street.
[D] Let the rain [E] make [Am] them grow.
[Gm] _ [D] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[F#m] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [G#] [Am] Now the night like a guy clubbed.
_ [B] He's heard [Am]
every hard luck story.
_ _ At least _ [F#] a hundred [D] [E] times or [F#m] more.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [E] He said, [Am] check out time, it's 10 a.m.
_ [D] And now [C] this is what it is.
_ _ _ [D] [G] Go on [C] up the stairs with your [D] sweet little wishes.
[E] A pretty blue [Am]
dream.
_ _ _ _ And it's the rain and it's pouring. _ _ _ _
Hollywood just [F#] fine.
_ [D] [Am] Swim the little girl out of her jeans.
_ [D] Another ladder in the [E] [G] sand.
[G#] Now [Am] I never trust a scarecrow wearing shades that [D] dark.
[Am] _
Careful of that [D] old bow tie [Am] he wears.
[D] Takes [Am] a sweet little [G] bullet [Am] from a pretty blue gun.
[D] Put those scarlet [E] ribbons in your [Am] hair.
Wow, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Am]
Lord, that ain't no cherry bomb.
_ [Em] _ [Am] For the third of July [D] is all done.
It's just [Am]
some fool playing my second line.
[D] From the [E] barrel of a pretty [Am] blue gun.
[D] _ _ [Am] Lord, that ain't no cherry bomb.
_ [D] _ [Am] For the third of July is [D] all done.
_ That's [Am] some fool playing my second line.
[F#] From the barrel [E] of a pretty [Am] blue gun.
[G] _ _ [Am] _
Hope ain't never _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[E] _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ [G#] _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [D] _ gone.
