F#
He got the droop of a fatherless child
Abm B
Almost imperceptible, one can't see it with the naked eye
F#
Oh but I can
That cardboard lady in the corner store
Abm B
Six no-good men took her shine and more
F#
Left her youth near Sausalito
Abm B
Oh it's humourless and comical at once
F# C#
Always being a stranger wearing the last town's dust
Abm B F#
Oh it's humourless, it's humourless
F#
They look me over, one up and one down
I can tell they're wondering who my people are
Abm B
I say I'm new in town
F#
I know it's gonna take a while
Abm B
Oh it's humourless and comical at once
F# C#
Always being a stranger wearing the last town's dust
Abm B F#
Oh it's humourless, it's humourless
F#
I speculate and browse the duraflame
Winter in the west coast cool
Ab B
Out by the sea where no one knows my name
F#
I'm on the road like Jack Kerouac
Like Jack, Jack Kerouac
