Verse 1:      
G       D      C      G  
Woke up this morning in southern California
G      D      F      C   
Don't know how I got there, don't even care
G       D      C      G
Someday, I'll find out where I am goin'
G      D      F      C 
Though that someplace may be nowhere
G       D      C      G
The sun's in my face and the wind is a blowin'
G      D      F      C 
Carry me wherever I may roam
G       D      C      G
Some people say I'm a lover and a poet
G      D      F      C 
Oh, doncha know it, I'm comin' home


Chorus 1:      
G      D      F      C
You buy the flowers, I'll buy the gin
Half passed midnight let the goodtimes begin
No more worries, no more rain
Throw away your problems and throw away your pain

Verse 2:
Drivin' back to good ol' New Orleans
Gonna stay there all summer long
I'm coming here with a bag full of memories
Just laughin' with friends and singin' some songs
I know as I sit here I gotta keep runnin'
Movin' along just to keep pace
Sometimes I wonder why I am smilin'
Don't you know I love this place

Chorus 2:      Same as Chorus 1

Solo:            Same as Verse 1

Verse 3:      
I'm not a prophet, I just want to live the good life
Some people say that life is a game

If you got no worries, it's all the same 

Chorus 3:      Same as Chorus 1
