   Dm
An angel on a Harley
Pulls across to greet a fellow 
          Am
rolling stone
         Dm
Puts his bike up on it's stand

Leans back and then extends
                     Am
A scarred and greasy hand...he said
G                           
  How ya doin bro?...where ya 
                    C      Am
been?...where ya goin'?
         D
Then he takes your hand

In some strange Californian 
handshake
                G
And breaks the bone

        Have a nice day

A housewife from Encino

Whose husband's on the golf course
          Am
With his book of rules

I'm standing on the leading edge
The Eastern seaboard spread before

my eyes
  Dm
"Jump" says Yoko Ono
"I'm too scared and too good 
             Am
looking" I cried

"Go on", she says

"Why don't you give it a try?
Am

 D                                 
Why prolong the agony all men must

die"

  Do you remember Dick Tracy?
                 Am
Do you remember Shane?

And mother wants you
           Dm
Could you see him selling tickets
Where the buzzard circles over 
  Am
[Shane]

The body on the plain
        G
Did you understand the music Yoko
                  C             Am
Or was it all in vain?  [Shane]
