[A#m] [A] [F#] I went living [A] around the block.
Yeah, [F#] he's living around the [B] block.
So I feel like I can come up, I feel like, [N] I've never met you before, right?
But I feel like I can walk up to him and start talking.
Just like Jackson [E] Brown.
I could do the same [F] thing.
[F#] [G#]
He's a vet on that.
Right.
[C#] He's really out of sight.
[D] [D#] He's [E] not a green [C#] ear.
[Em] [C#m] He wrote a song about Echo Park.
Right.
And being a part of the community.
He's not alone here in this town.
This is the kind of town that he's writing about my neighborhood, he's going through
my experiences, [N] the same ones I'm going through.
And that's why I relate to him.
When I saw him on the street, I knew that was him.
You know.
Because I know this is his neighborhood.
[G#m] So when I saw him, I knew that [E] was him.
I hear mariachi static on my radio And the tubes they glow in the [B] dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada And I'm here in Echo [E] Park
[A] Carmelita, hold me tighter I [E] think I'm sinking [A] down
And [E] I'm all strung out on [B] heroin On the outskirts [E] of town
Well, I'm sitting here playing solitaire With my pearl -handled [B] deck
The county won't give me no more methadone They cut off your welfare [E] check
[A] Carmelita, hold me tighter I [E] think I'm sinking [A]
down
And [E] I'm all strung out [B] on heroin On the outskirts [E] of town
