(INTRO)

VERSE 1

Gsus2                       Asus2
       I shuffle 'round the Earth like a ping pong.
Gsus2                            Asus2
       To find something just to hang my hat on
Gsus2                        Asus2            F#m   E
       And somewhere just to let my pants get dry.
Gsus2                       Asus2         
       Heard a trucker on a pay phone gas mall
Gsus2                           Asus2               
       sort his deal out with a twenty five cent call
Gsus2                              Asus2                   F#m   E
       Shooting through before his see-through coffee went cold

CHORUS

Em                 A
   And it sure did seem a good deal to me
Em                   A
   But my head's too soaked in Brilliantine
Em         A                     D   (INTRO)
   So just take me out, alright!

VERSE

Gsus2                   Asus2
      I've brushed over stations and channels
Gsus2                        Asus2
      and combed the town in corduroy and flannel
Gsus2             Asus2                                      F#m
Only know who you are when you move and who you're with when you're alone.
E
That's all I know

CHORUS

Em                      A
    And it sure did seem a good deal to me,
Em                    A
    But my head's too soaked in Brilliantine
Em          A                     D
    So just take me out, alright!
Em                     A
    And top of the morn  and slip of the day
Em                   A       
    Just don't sleep good since I been away.
Em            A            D
    So here's to you, alright!

D                                           G
     I think I've figured out a way to get by
                C                    B Asus2
I'll leave your brain out sitting on a shelf.
D                                                      G
     I think I figured out a cracking good way to get by
           C         B   Asus2          D
So kick me out, I'm going west, bye bye

CODA

C           B       Asus2
Walk stupid like an expectant dad
C                          D   Asus2
waiting for your hand like I'm waiting for skylab
C               B         Asus2             D
So kick me out, I'm going west, alright
