Key: D
Introduction:
D C7M
I study up my hollow
D
Piece of wood to follow
C7M
A day that doesn't come
D
To the lucky
C7M
And I realize there's tomorrow
D
But I would rather wallow
C7M
In the rain then moods that seem
D C7M
So pot-lucky
D
Well I'm cruising El Paseo
D G
In my off-white coup back '65
D
Or I'm cruisin down my own street
D
And my hooptie says to me
G
You better hang on to your bench seat
G
I'm gonna take you for a ride
D
And I'll let you know
Em7 D/F#
When it comes, when it comes
G
I'll let you know
D
But don't stay up for me
A9
Don't wait up for me
G Gm
If I'm not home
D C7M
So I wait for fate to find me
D
A ball of string unwind me
C7M D
Uncomfortable as a centerfold
C7M
And I realize your behind me
D
To help and humankind me
C7M
To see my songs can be retold
D
Well I'll be gone tomorrow
D
Yes I'm on the road tomorrow
G
So next time that I see you in school
G
It won't be for too long
D
And I'll let you know
Em7 D/F#
When it comes, when it comes
G
I'll let you know
D
But don't stay up for me
A9
Don't wait up for me
G Gm
If I'm not home
D
And I want a leather jacket
D G
But only if I have the time
D
Well, I'll comb my hair like Elvis
D
And grab an old Gretch 59
G
And you'd hardly recognize me if you
G
Saw me from behind
D
And I'll let you know
Em7 D/F#
When it comes, when it comes
G
I'll let you know
D
But don't stay up for me
A9
Don't wait up for me
G Gm
If I'm not home
