The day I came to Hollywood,
                  G+G
 I got off the bus, just me an' my guitar.
 A augmentedA
 My hair was all jacked-up for Jesus,
          D MajorD
 It got real quiet when I walked in that bar.

 Some mean old guy just walked on by,
                      G+G
 With a devil tattoo and an' erring in his nose.

 But no-one took the time to say hello.

 When finally, a real man sat next to me,
   D MajorD       G+G
 An' ordered a Tequila.

 When, he turned an' smiled an' shook my hand,
