Hometown Gypsy

Intro: Dm

Dm
Drivin' up the coast to find a 
version of the truth
Left the backdoor swinging like a 
dirty little sleuth

C            B        Am
The truth is I have never felt half 
this alive
C                             
Now it's time to dance upon the 
   Dm
grave called "45"

Dm
Jacked upon some Kerouac and surely 
bullet proof
The girl who taught me what to do 
was missing her front tooth

C       B           Am
Gentle as a storm inside your mental
 health
C          B        Am          
I wanna find the answer but I just 
Dm
can't find myself


Dm                          C
I say so long to the way I played
                                  G
The way I played inside of yesterday
Dm         C
Hey let's run around
The great escape from out of my 
     Dm
hometown

Dm
Later I would look for love inside a
 woman's dorm
A couch to keep me humble and her 
breath to keep me warm

C                       B    
Ophelia was the girl that I was 
            Am
feeling for
C                                 
Come to realize it was me who was 
      Dm
the whore

Dm
Acaptain lost himself inside a 40 
year old skull
The drink of choice was knowledge 
and we always wanted more

C            B        Am
Drunken sailors seeking their 
Geronimo
C                                 
Instead they found the things that
                          Dm
 they really didn't wanna know

Dm                          C
I say so long to the way I played
                                   G
The way I played inside of yesterday
Dm         C
Hey let's run around
The great escape from out of my 
      G
hometown
Dm                             
Country roads would never let me 
    C
stay
                                   G
The way I played inside of yesterday

Bridge: Gm , A , Dm

Dm
A devil's growl and a cat's meow 
were blended into one
Termites called suburbanites were 
eating all the fun

C                        B       
A juggernaut of comedy and 
          Am
blasphemy
C                                 
I wanna stop the madness but I 
             Dm
think it has to be

Dm                         C
I say so long to the way I played
                                   G
The way I played inside of yesterday
Dm         C
Hey let's run around
The great escape from out of my 
       G
hometown
Dm                             
Country roads would never let me 
    C
stay
                                  G
The way I played inside of yesterday
Dm         C
Hey let's run around
The great escape from out of my 
      Dm
hometown
