[Verse 1]
E
Who's that coming down the road
D A
A sailor from the sea
D F#m
He looks a lot like me
I'd know him anywhere, had to stare
E
Feathers at his fingertips
D A
A halo 'round his spine
D F#m
he must have lost his mind
he should be put away, right away
C#m
In the corner of the night
D Bm
he handed me his waterpipe
His eyes were searching deep inside my head
E
Here's what he said
[Chorus]
Am
Sorry I can't stop and talk now
I'm in kind of a hurry anyhow
But I'll send you a tape from California
[Verse 2]
E D A
New York city has exploded and it's crashed upon my head
D F#m
I dove beneath the bed
Fighting, biting nails, turning pale
E
The landlord's at my window
D A
And the burglar's at my door
D F#m
I can't take it anymore
I guess I'll have to fly, it's worth a try
C#m
Someone's banging on the wall
D Bm
But there's no party to recall
F#m Bm E
The singer of the shadows of his soul
E
So he's been told
[Chorus]
Am
Sorry I can't stop and talk now
I'm in kind of a hurry anyhow
But I'll send you a tape from California
[Bridge 1]
D C D C
From the mirror of my mantle to the velvet on my vest
D C Am E
Trapped upon a stolen stage, a Barrymore at best
A G A G
My rhymes are all repeating, ballads growing blind
G#m A F#m B7
Words have turned to water, the women turned to wine
[Verse 3]
E D A
The draft board is debating if they'd like to take my life
D F#m
I'd sooner take a wife
And have raise a child or two
Wouldn't you?
E
Peace has turned to poison
D A
The flag has blown a fuse
D F#m
Even courage is confused
And now all the brave are in the grave
C#m
Century is bending
D Bm
have a very happy ending
F#m Bm E
To the victor go the ashes of the spoils
E
Seeds in the soil
[Chorus]
Am
Sorry I can't stop and talk now
I'm in kind of a hurry anyhow
But I'll send you a tape from California
[Verse 4]
E
The flower-power fuller brush man
D A
is farming out his friends
D F#m
I stabbed him with my stem
And then I tapped his toes with my rose
E
He crawled around inside himself
D A
Now he's crawling after me
D F#m
Dropping acid in my tea
He wants to save his soul, rock and roll
C#m
One of us must understand
D Bm
It's not the drug that makes the man
F#m Bm E
Then a poster of a movie star walked by
E
He must have been high
[Chorus]
Am
Sorry I can't stop and talk now
I'm in kind of a hurry anyhow
But I'll send you a tape from California
[Bridge 2]

The anarchists are rising while we're racing for the moon

It doesn't take a seer to see that the scene is coming soon

E
Who's that coming down the road
D A
A sailor from the sea
D F#m
He looks a lot like me
I'd know him anywhere, had to stare
E
A fire around his fingertips
D A
A song around his spine
D F#m
He must have found his mind
He should be put away, anyway
C#m
Surrounded by the slaughter
D Bm
Now I'm boarding at the border
F#m Bm E
When the echoes of my ecstacy appear
E
Wish I was here
[Chorus]
Am
Sorry I can't stop and talk now
I'm in kind of a hurry anyhow
But I'll send you a tape from California
