tandard tuning, no capo :)

VERSE:
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

Her sparkle is all painted on
                                    Abm       B
Six no-good men took her shine and more
                          F#
Left her youth near Sausalito

CHORUS:
             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

VERSE:
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

CHORUS:
            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

VERSE:
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
Like Jack, Jack Kerouac
Like Jack, Jack Kerouac
