tandard tuning, no capo :)

VERSE:
F#
He got the droop of a fatherless child
                                                      G#m       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
                                    G#m       B
Six no-good men took her shine and more
                          F#
Left her youth near Sausalito

CHORUS:
             G#m         B
Oh it’s humourless and comical at once
F#                        C#
Always being a stranger wearing the last town’s dust
             G#m   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
          G#m          B
I say I’m new in town
                           F#
I know it’s gonna take a while

CHORUS:
            G#m          B
Oh it’s humourless and comical at once
F#                        C#
Always being a stranger wearing the last town’s dust
              G#m   B    F#
Oh it’s humourless, it’s humourless

VERSE:
F#
I speculate and browse the duraflame

Winter in the west coast cool
                                     G#    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
