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.
