Lyrics

Capo on 3rd fret..

Intro:
[F] walk down to [dm] [g] [c] walk down to [am] [dm] [g] [c]

[C]in spite of you, you [f]like yourself
An' [g]that's alright with [c]me
[C]it gets so lonesome [f]fillin' space
An' [g]someone must [c]believe

[C]erase them golden [f]memories
An' [g]blow the candle [c]out
[C]let's get on off [f]away somewhere
An' [g]see what we're [c]about

Chorus: (play intro)
Lay down your [f] weary [a min7] tune [g] again
And [c] rest your [c/b] head on [a min] me
Your [dm]phone call says you're sorry
An' the [g]grapevine says you're [c]free

[C]your drugstore dady's [f]flesh an' blood
Like [g]marilyn mon[c]roe
[C]an' out there on the [f]runway now
The [g]king's all set to [c]go

[C]they'll cover up the [f]window soon
'Cause [g]he'll be rollin' [c]in
He's [c]elvis presley, [f]honey chile
An' [g]i can't cop his [c]grin

Chorus

[C]the missionary [f]paid my way
An' [g]put me off to [c]sleep
[C]i woke up early [f]yesterday
An' [g]found a place to [c]eat

[C]i got it down an' [f]felt relieved
An' [g]jane went off to [c]work
[C]it's wooden soldier's [f]christmas time
An' [g]jane she is a [c]clerk

Chorus

[C]in spite of you, you [f]like yourself
An' [g]i admire you [c]much
[C]I'm out to get us [f]back in sync
'Cause we've been [g]so out of [c]touch

[C]just meet me next to [f]noah's ark
An' [g]let's get out of [c]town
[C]there's got to be [f]someplace somewhere
These [g]rain clouds haven't [c]found

Chorus
