Lyrics

capo on 3rd fret... intro: [F] walk down to [Dm] [G] [C] walk down to [Am] [Dm] [G] [C] [C]
In spite of you, you [F]like yourself
An' [G]that's alright with [C]me, [C]
It gets so lonesome [F]fillin' space
An' [G]someone must [C]believe. [C]
Erase them golden [F]memories
An' [G]blow the candle [C]out, [C]
Let's get on off [F]away somewhere
An' [G]see what we're [C]about. chorus: (play intro)
Lay down your [F] weary [A min7] tune [G] again and [C] rest your [C/B] head on [A min] me,
Your [Dm]phone call says you're sorry
An' the [G]grapevine says you're [C]free. [C]
Your drugstore dady's [F]flesh an' blood
Like [G]marilyn mon[C]roe, [C]
An' out there on the [F]runway now
The [G]king's all set to [C]go. [C]
They'll cover up the [F]window soon '
Cause [G]he'll be rollin' [C]in,
He's [C]Elvis
Presley, [F]honey chile,
An' [G]I can't cop his [C]grin. chorus [C]
The missionary [F]paid my way
An' [G]put me off to [C]sleep, [C]
I woke up early [F]yesterday
An' [G]found a place to [C]eat. [C]
I got it down an' [F]felt relieved
An' [G]Jane went off to [C]work, [C]
It's wooden soldier's [F]
Christmas time
An' [G]Jane she is a [C]clerk. chorus [C]
In spite of you, you [F]like yourself
An' [G]I admire you [C]much. [C]
I'm out to get us [F]back in sync, '
Cause we've been [G]so out of [C]touch. [C]
Just meet me next to [F]
Noah's ark
An' [G]let's get out of [C]town, [C]
There's got to be [F]someplace somewhere
These [G]rain clouds haven't [C]found. chorus chorus
