Intro: C5 , E5 , C5 , D5 , C5 , E5 , D5

Verse 1
E5                     C5 
She might be wearing a green chemise
      E5                            C5 
And a hat that she bought 'cause it matches her jeans
        D5                     C5
And the water she drinks well it comes from a stream
       E5                          D5
By the house she might win in that hospital lottery
       E5                    C5           
And I might be stumbling and cursing them all                    
         E5                   C5                        D5
When she picks me up from the place that we both call disaster relief
        C5                        E5
For the rent must be paid by the first of the month
     D5
Or in my case, 15th


(Chorus)

        C5
This is good as far as I can tell
           E5                      C5
It's still heavy as hell when it's good
      E5
And I do like the road
           C5
But I'd be better at home
       E5
I will pine for the oak streets
    C5                       D5
And pine for the cedars and you

(Bridge)
E5
Been around I suppose
       C5
I have chatted and chewed
       E5                      C5
I have lugged my guitar to the nice cafe blues
         E5               C5                    D5                        
And when I come home I am coming home to this street and these avenues

(Chorus)
        C5

This is good but as far as I can tell
           E5                      C5
It's still heavy as hell when it's good
      E5
And I do like the road
           C5
But I'd be better at home
       E5
I will pine for the oak streets
    C5                       D5
And pine for the cedars and you
