Capo II

Sounds better if you throw in a bunch of Cadd9's during the C's and a bunch of Asus's 
during the Am's.

Not sure if this is how he plays it, but this is how I've been playing it, and I think 
it sounds fairly good.

Em
I drank myself to sleep
C           Am
Every night of last week
       Em
Then I walked to the Boscov's store
   C             Am
To buy a case of Crazy Horse


       Em
Then I dreamt I stayed in the Sterling
       C           Am
In the same bed as Kennedy
     Em
Then Jackie and Johnny and Caroline
      C       Am
Would ride up the mainline


         Em
Then the last stop's in Carbondale
      C                    Am
Where John once found some German tale
        Em
And his Irish and German son
        C             Am
Wrote a story called "Killdragon"


         Em
It was a huge hit in the youth group scene
        C              Am
'Cuz it pledged, to all, celibacy

Em


Em
I saw him comin'
C         Am
I saw him comin'
Em
I saw him comin'
C         Am
I saw him comin'


    Em                          C         Am
And this year I'm gonna work on stability
Em                                  C                Am
This year I'm gonna try and keep my friends close to me
      Em                                      C           Am
And I hope one day to have half as much of my grandpa's integrity
Em
And I saw him comin'
C         Am
I saw him comin'
Em
I saw him comin'
C         Am
I saw him comin'

Em                   C     Am
I saw Kennedy in the Hotel Sterling
    Em                           C                   Am
And he told me everything that I knew we'd both been feeling
   Em                             C               Am
So we sat on the ledge and looked down toward the West


                   Em
And that's where I drank myself to sleep
        C             Am
Just to get some company
               Em
That's where I drank myself to sleep
        C             Am
Just to get some company


Em
I saw him comin'
C         Am
I saw him comin'
Em
I saw him comin'
C         Am
I saw him comin'
