Intro: D C G x3 C G D
G A D
Saw him sittin on a sidewalk in Fresno
G A
Braided hair and a tye-dyed t-shirt on
G A D
Talkin to himself about Vietnam
G A
About the tour he did and the deal he got
G A
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me.
G A
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be
(Chorus:)
D C G
I'd be rollin' on a river with Creedance
D A
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
D C G
I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
E A
In the spring of '72
G D
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
G D
Watchin' the tide roll in
C G
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs
D
again.
Saw him workin' the counter at Walgreens
With a new haircut and a Bachelor's Degree
Talkin' to himself about his raw deal
Cussin' Uncle Sam and the GI bill
He said This world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me.
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be
(Chorus)
Solo: Same as intro
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me.
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be
(Chorus)
