1. _ Gas Station Women
pre>g d7
Everything is going wrong, everything is bad
G
There's no one i can talk to when i am feeling sad
She broke my heart a million ways
C
I'm losing all my friends
G d7 g
The boys down at the factory ask me where i've been
C
Fill 'er up with love
G
Please won't you, mister?
D7 g
Just the hi-test is what i used to say
C g
But that was before i lost my baby
D7 /g
I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today
I never should have left my home, never left the farm
But the city was exciting it couldn't do me any harm
The more folks i run across, the less i seem to know
The days go by too quickly the nights go by too slow.
Fill 'er up with love
Please won't you, mister?
Just the hi-test is what i used to say
But that was before i lost my baby
I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today
I cannot face another girl, i believe i'll turn to drink
So i won't remember, so i won't have to think
Tomorrow will bring happiness or, at least, another day
So i will bid farewell and i'll be on my way
Fill 'er up with love
Please won't you, mister?
Just the hi-test is what i used to say
But that was before i lost my baby
I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today

2. _ Boy In Ohio
pre>g c g
Creek was running by the road
D
And the buckeye sun was a-shinin'
G c g
I rode my bike down alum creek drive
Em am
When i was a boy in ohio
G c g
The english teacher he didn't care
F
He challenged us to checkers
Bb dm d7
And once in a while we'd swap a joke
Eb
When i was a boy in ohio
Once i was caught playing hooky from school
They found me home in the evening
I confessed i had been to the movie show
When i was a boy in ohio
We would wait for the summer to come
For swimmin' and pickin' berries
But now a freeway covers the field
Where i used to be so happy
I remember the burger boy
Where the girls would shine like the engines
And the radio was always loud
When i was a boy in ohio
Spanish teacher she tried to help
She was much too pretty
So i just stared at the back of her legs
When i was a boy in ohio
It was 3.2 beer* at the honky tonk bar
Where they said the girls were easy
But somehow i never found me one
When i was a boy in ohio
Soon i was grown and i had to leave
And i've been all over the country
But i don't believe i've had more fun
Than when i was a boy in ohio

3. _ Jim Dean Of Indiana
pre>intro: bm a bm esus4
A d bm e
It was on an indiana farm in the middle of the country
D g f#m c#m esus4
Growin' in the fields of grain, jim dean of indiana
His mother died when he was a boy, his father was a stranger
Marcus winslow took him in, nobody seemed to want him
The hired man sang like a storm(?), sometimes he'd beat him
'cause he would never do the chores, he was lost in dreaming
He never seemed to find a play with the flatlands and the farmers
So he had to leave one day, he said to be an actor
Once he'd come back to the farm with starlets from the stages
They locked themselves inside his room, the people turned their faces
A neighbor ran from the movie house, chickens they were scattered
He swore he saw upon the screen, jim dean of indiana
He played a boy without a home, torn with no tomorrow
Reaching out to touch someone, a stranger in the shadow
The winslows left for the movie town, they drove across the country
They hoped that he would stay around and they hoped he would be friendly
He talked to them for half an hour but he was busy racing
He left for the grapevine road[1], they left for indiana
Then marcus heard on the radio that a movie star was dying
He turned the tuner way down low, so ortense could go on sleeping
It was not until they reached the farm where the hired man was waiting
The wind rushed silent through the grain, it was just as they had told him
They buried him just down the road, a mile from the farm house
That is where i placed a flower for jim dean of indiana.

4. _ Chords Of Fame
pre>e
I found him by the stage last night
D a
He was breathing his last breath
E
A bottle of wine and a cigarette
D a
Was all that he had left
"i can see you make the music
D e
'cause you carry a guitar
A
God help the troubadour
F#m g
Who tries to be a star"
G# a g a
So play the chords of love, my friend
G a
Play the chords of pain
D a
If you want to keep your song,
E a g a
Don't, don't, don't, don't play the chords of fame
I seen my share of hustlers
As they try to take the world
When they find their melody
They're surrounded by the girls
But it all fades so quickly
Like a sunny summer day
Reporters ask you questions
They write down what you say
(chorus)
They'll rob you of your innocence
They will put you up for sale
The more that you will find success
The more that you will fail
I been around, i've had my share
And i really can't complain
But i wonder who i left behind
The other side of fame
(chorus)

5. _ Ten Cents A Coup
pre>g
It was a used car dealers' election
A
And the choice was rather small
D7
The boys agreed, "it's the war we need,
G
So there's no president at all."
G e
Here's to nixon and agnew
A
They are the stars of the stage and screen
D7
Not since laurel and hardy
G
Have i laughed so hard i screamed
I thought that johnson was the devil
I thought we couldn't do no worse
Now the white house stands in disneyland
This country must be under a curse
Here's to nixon and agnew
They are the stars of the stage and screen
Not since laurel and hardy
Have i laughed so hard i screamed
I dreamed that nixon died of a suntan
There was only spiro left
At his swearing in, he fell on his chin
He assasinated himself.
Here's to nixon and agnew
They are the stars of the stage and screen
Not since laurel and hardy
Have i laughed so hard i screamed

6. _ No More Songs
pre>intro chords: dmcb flata
Em
Hello, hello, hello
C
Is there anybody home?
Em
I've only called to say
C d
I'm sorry.
Em
The drums are in the dawn,
G d
And all the voices gone.
C d em
And it seems that there are no more songs.
Once i knew a girl
She was a flower in a flame
I loved her as the sea sinks/sings(?) sadly
Now the ashes of the dream
Can be found in the magazines.
And it seems that there are no more songs.
Once i knew a sage
Who sang upon the stage
He told about the world,
His lover.
A ghost without a name,
Stands ragged in the rain.
And it seems that there are no more songs.
The rebels they were here
They came beside the door
They told me that the moon was bleeding
Then all to my suprise,
They took away my eyes.
And it seems that there are no more songs.
A (scar, star)?? is in the sky,
It's time to say goodbye.
A whale is on the beach,
He's dying.
A white flag in my hand,
And a white bone in the sand.
And it seems that there are no more songs.
Hello, hello, hello
Is there anybody home?
I've only called to say
I'm sorry.
The drums are in the dawn,
And all the voices gone.
And it seems that there are no more songs.
It seems that there are no more songs.
It seems that there are no more songs.

Where i can watch television, talk on the telephone

Elvis presley is the king, i was at his crowning
E g a
My life just flashed before my eyes, i must be drowning
Seems like only yesterday i climbed aboard the plane
Raping distance in the skies, while diving in champagne
I would be in exile now, but everywhere's the same
Ticket home
I want a ticket home
Elvis presley is the king, i was at his crowning
My life just flashed before my eyes, i must be drowning
Seems like only yesterday i climbed aboard the plane
Raping distance in the sky, while diving in champagne
I would be in exile now, but everywhere's the same
Ticket home
I want a ticket home

8. _ My Kingdom For A Car
pre>intro: c f c
C
I've found my freedom
F c
Her and i been flying down that highway of gold
F c f c
My shirtsleeves are rolled, my colt 45 is cold.
Am g
I go fast, till i'm going faster.
F c
Look how far we've come, look how far
G c
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car
How i love the highway
Picks me up and takes me whereever i please
I race through the trees bring space to her knees
I am master of all that's flying past me.
Look how far we've come, look how far
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car
Look how far we've come, look how far
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car
Take me to tomorrow
Let me go on racing with the wind in my hair
There's smoke in the air but i do not care
If you want me, you will have to pass me
Look how far we've come, look how far.
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car
Come to me baby,
We will leave this town it was not made for a man
We'll find a new land, but the traffic is jammed
I went far but it's a time for walking
Look how far we've come, look how far.
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car

9. _ Basket In The Pool
pre>a d a
Went to a party the other night, everybody was there
D e
Thought that i would have some fun as i started up the stair.
A d
Somebody tried to ruin it when he won a raffle prize,
A e
Tried to shake and shock us right before our eyes.
D e a
While we danced, while we were dancing
D a e f#m
Who was the fool throw the basket in the pool?
It was filled with the finest cheeses filled with imported wine,
Wish that i had won it, and i wish that it were mine
I know some wino lives outside of town
Hw would gladly cut your throat if he could drink it down
While we danced, while we were dancing
Who was the fool throw the basket in the pool?
If i had found out who he was, if i'd have found his face,
Next time we have a party gonna find out his name.
I've been on the ocean swimming know poroise led the way,
It wasn't worth the matter and it wasn't worth the pay.
We were there, go right on dancing
Who was the fool throw the basket in the pool?
How can i go swimming now my world is laid to waste?
It was the worst of manners and it was the worst of taste
Why can't we be left alone? think that it was a crime
If everyone was groovy we could all have a real good time.
We could dance, go right on dancing
Who was the fool throw the basket in the pool?

10. _ Bach, Beethoven, Mozart & Me
pre>em f em f
Every morning at the dawn dust is in the air.
Em f g am
Karen rises early, runs brushes through her hair.
Em f em f
Then she buys the paper, i lay on my back,
Em f g a
Then she feeds the monkey, then she feeds the cat.
Chorus:
G
I'll talk, i'll talk they live by the sea
D g
Surrounded by a cemetery.
Bm a
If you get tired come up for some tea
Em bm d em
With bach, beethoven, mozart, and me.
Frances is the next to rise
Powders up her nose.
She's working for the tailor
Makes the western clothes.
Andy drives a sports car
To the warner brothers ghost
He used to live in england
Now he loves the coast (chorus)
Some times a friend comes by
To sing the latest song,
But david fights with susan
Nobody gets along.
Every other sunday
It's time to make a call.
Judy has a barbecue
Play the volleyball. (chorus)
In the evening when the sun goes down
The streets are all aglow.
We walk out on the hillside
City shines below.
We sit down for our supper
The news begins to play.
Walter he is speechless
Eric speaks cliches. (chorus)
Andy plays a cricket game.
Frances holds a glass.
Karen reads and darns a dress.
I dream of the past.
Dark is spreading up now
Good evening, good night.
Karen turns the bed sheet.
She's turning out the light. (chorus)
(tag)
Em am bm em
Bach, beethoven, mozart, and me.
