Right - these Lyrics are 'borrowed' from a few forums and reinterpreted 
as the official lyrics aren't written down anywhere (do offical lyrics 
even exist? Live versions and the studio versions often differ) 
this is the best I've got.

VERSE 1

E
Well he dont always take the fifty-five down to PA

He let that trip go down to  get away
A                B 
He stands in line, and don't miss a thing
A                                B                               E E Eb C#
Because the place to the east is better than the where hes been

E
Here come a man of woe Robinson Crusoe

He must of known what living is for
A                 B                   E
Why defy drinking rum on a dead man's chest
             A                           B                 E    E Eb C#

I fought a lot of years for you

And all your dreams will fall apart
