Tonart: G major•
Intro 1
G
Verse 1
G
Here's my story once upon a time
I was a runner for the railroad
I didn't have a dime
C
I was living in a penthouse
D
C
It was owned by a Vietnam vet
G
who had a lot of pictures of himself
and his buddies from the war
Decorating every single wall and floor
C
In between the wallpaper
G
that was curling down and turning brown
D
I tried to stay and make it
C
but I had to leave New York town
G
C
Csus2
Cause I was hungry
C
Csus2
G
for oatmeal
Bm
C
Csus2
And some car, fast and breezy
C
Csus2
C
G
And someone who might make me
D
C
G
Two eggs over easy
So I go to California,
got a brother living there
For sixty -nine dollars,
going greyhound anywhere
C
Glad I brought my camera,
G
it was all I could carry
Disguised as a guitar
D
C
I kept looking at, they kept looking back
G
Four blond -headed children,
ages four to ten
Her ex -husband would come
and she'd get pregnant again
C
Every year for four years
G
In between the cold beers
D
She didn't know she had a choice
C
G
She didn't know another alphabet
C
G
Still she was hungry
For oatmeal
Bm
C
She wants some car, fast and breezy
And someone,
G
just someone might make her
D
C
G
Two legs, over easy
Now I'm down in Baltimore,
trying to make my rent
I back up without looking, put a big fat dent
C
I was driving my mother's car,
G
not looking, going backwards,
D
like my life. Funny thing about insurance,
C
G
if you use it, you lose it. So
I sit down by an oak tree
to read a book of love.
It was written by two doctors
who were guilty of divorce
G
Who makes who the expert qualified to teach?
C
G
they kept looking back
C
Still I'm hungry, still I'm hungry
G
For old me, just for old me
Bm
C
And some car, fast and breezy
And someone, someone might
G
D
C
G
make me
Csus2
G
D
I wish I had a dollar every
C
G
time I hollered
Csus2
G
Csus2
C
Csus2
D
Oh, oh, oh
G
D
Oh, oh, oh
C

G
Yeah
