A5               F5                  C5 
    I took three days to drive down one street 
A5            F5                C5 
    The radio on, tuned to the big fleet 
A5            F5                       C5 
    Invisible planes are cracking the concrete 
G5                    F5                A5      F5 
    That's just what some people say     hey hey 
 

A5                F5                    C5 
    I put down my blanket on cigarette butt beach 
A5                F5                  C5 
    I saw the old man, he was doing okay 
A5                       F5              C5             A5 
    He's making his last stand - on old   bottles and cans 
G5                F5             A5     F5 
    Round there, Calistan way    hey hey 
 

E5              F5 
    Used to be sixteen lanes 
C5              B5 
    Used to be Neuvo Spain 
Bb5             G5 
    Used to be Juan Wayne 
E5              F5 
    Used to be Mexico 
C5              B5 
    Used to be Navajo 
Bb5             G5         A5      F5     C5  (solo here) 
    Used to be yippe-yay-I-don't know 
 

A5 F5 C5 A5 F5 C5 G5  F5 A5 F5 
 
A5                   F5                  C5 
    Went in from the weather when I got wheezy 
A5                F5               C5 
    I play some pachinko I play pachisi 
A5                    F5               C5 
    And saint Anne is still making it breezy 
       G5                  F5            A5     F5 
In the valley of tar that once was LA    hey hey 
A5              F5                       C5 
    And my best friend he's the king  of karaoke 
A5                 F5                 C5 
    He struck up a chord and took it away 
A5             F5       C5        A5 
    Out of the pan and   into Japan 
G5                F5             A5     F5 
    Round there, Calistan way    hey hey
