Verso 1:
Am
Well, we live in a trailer at the edge of town
Am
You never see us because we don't come around
F Am
We got twenty five rifles just to keep the population down
Dm7
But we need you now and that's why
Am
I'm hangin' 'round
F E7
So you be good to me and I'll be good to you
And in this land of conditions
Am
I'm not above suspicion
Am
I won't attack you but I won't back you
Verso 2:
Am
Well, it's so good to be here asleep on your lawn
Am
Remember your guard dog?
Am
Well, I'm afraid that he's gone
F Am
It was such a drag to hear him whining all night long
Dm7
Yes, that was me with the doves setting them free near the factory
Am
Where you built your computer love
F E7
I hope you get the connection because I can't take the rejection
Am
I won't deceive you, I just don't believe you

Verso 3:
Am
Well, I'm a barrel of laughs with my carbine on
Am
I keep 'em hopping until my ammunition's gone
F
But I'm still not happy
Am
I feel like there's something wrong
Dm7
I got the revolution blues
Am
I see bloody fountains
Am
And ten million dune buggies coming down the mountains
F E7
Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon is full of famous stars
Am
But I hate them worse than lepers and I'll kill them in their cars
