Am
Gm
[Verse 1]
Dm Am Gm Am Dm
Lucy and Ramona, cruisin' through the jungles of L.A
Dm Am Gm Am Dm
Hopin' to promote a dream somewhere along the way
Dm Am Gm Am
Rollin' through the streets, lookin' for a disco
Dm Am Gm Am
Passin' up the treats from a kid named Cisco
Dm Am
Trying to make connections
Gm Am
With their blemish-free complexions
Dm Am
And just as fate would have it
Gm Am
They ended up with Sunset Sam
[Verse 2]
Dm Am Gm Am
Sam was sellin' watches from a suitcase on a TV tray
Dm Am Gm Am Dm
And Lucy and Ramona were tryin' to figure out if he was gay
Dm Am Gm Am
The three of them were standing, staring at each other
Dm Am Gm Am
When the light behind their eyes blew each other's cover
Dm Am
The ancient code was branded
Gm Am
And each of them was handed
Dm Am
A ticket to their kingdom
Gm Am Dm
'Cause they saw their brother Sunset Sam
[Chorus]
Gm Am
Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam
Gm Am
People on the streets tryin' to find a plan
Gm Dm
People on the streets lookin' for the land
Gm Am Dm
Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam
[Verse 3]
Dm Am Gm Am Dm
Lucy was from Compton and she met Ramona at the zoo
Dm Am Gm Am Dm
Ramona was from Brooklyn, but she left when she was twenty-two
Dm Am Gm Am
Sam was a native of the Arizona desert
Dm Am Gm Am Dm
But he split when he was slated for some governmental make-work
Dm Am Gm Am
Their differences subsided when the common bond was sighted
Dm Am
They were all from the same place
Gm
That made the famous Sunset Sam
[Chorus]
Gm Am
Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam
Gm Am
People on the streets tryin' to find a plan
Gm Dm
People on the streets lookin' for the land
Gm Am Dm
Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam
Gm Am
Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam
Gm Am
People on the streets tryin' to find a plan
Gm Dm
People on the streets lookin' for the land
Gm Am Dm
Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam
