G A7
New York City years ago tourists in the rain
C D G
Singin' on the swing shift for pennies
A7
Thinkin' 'bout the bayou cajun river song
C D G
Almost got my head broke in Texas
Purple Peacock Honky-Tonk in Eunice Louisiana
Bourbon whiskey free son just tune up the piano
Workin' clubs in New Orleans bringin' down a dollar
College boys drink beer and throw the bottles
Chorus:
E7 A
It's been a long long long way I've got some more to go
C D G
Don't look at my shadow its behind me
E7 A
It's been a long long long way in twenty years or so
C D G
Thinkin' 'bout those times might amuse me
Instrumental + Chorus
L.A. Forum Sports Arena twenty thousand fans
Glad ya come to listen I'm gonna give you everything I can
I always had to play my music play it best I could
Hope you understand hear me good
You know the California dreamin' nearly put me down for good
Colorado Rocky Mountains saved my senses
Chorus and fade
