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)
