Chords with lyrics

Intro:
AbmAbm  F#F#  E MajorE BB E MajorE

Verse:
        Abdim7Abdim7
Stranded on the outskirts

  A augmentedA      E MajorE
Of Columbus Ohio

      BB     DbmDbm
Some motel next to a strip mall church

     Bbdim7Bbdim7    A augmentedA
With the neon burning cold

Verse:

   E MajorE    DbmDbm   Abdim7Abdim7
It's raining soft and steady

    A augmentedA       E MajorE
Like it always does in movies

         BB     DbmDbm
Now I'm good and drunk and ready

  Bbdim7Bbdim7     A augmentedA   E MajorE
So let the credits roll

Chorus:

A augmentedA         BB      DbmDbm         A augmentedA
When I was a young man, I never dreamed it wouldn't last

   DbmDbm             Gb7Gb7      BB
All I wanted was tomorrow, now I'm haunted by the past

      A augmentedA           AbmAbm   DbmDbm   E7E7   A augmentedA
Don't know where I'm going, all I know is, I ain't coming back

     DbmDbm    Gb7Gb7   BB E MajorE  BB DbmDbm
I've had enough of Columbus Ohio

Verse:

BB    E MajorE       Abdim7Abdim7
If I'd a ticket I would gladly

     A augmentedA       E MajorE
Take the bus up to Eau Claire

          BB   DbmDbm
I'd hitch south to Cincinnati

   Bbdim7Bbdim7      A augmentedA
If I knew a soul down there

Verse:

      E MajorE   DbmDbm  Abdim7Abdim7
There's no currency in Kerouac

  A augmentedA          E MajorE
At least not since the sixties

           BB  DbmDbm
Lord, take pity on a vagabond

   Bbdim7Bbdim7       A augmentedA
Whose sails have all gone slack

Chorus:

A augmentedA         BB      DbmDbm         A augmentedA
When I was a young man, I never dreamed it wouldn't last

   DbmDbm             Gb7Gb7      BB
All I wanted was tomorrow, now I'm haunted by the past

      A augmentedA           AbmAbm   DbmDbm   E7E7   A augmentedA
Don't know where I'm going, all I know is, I ain't coming back

     DbmDbm    Gb7Gb7   BB DbmDbm
I've had enough of Columbus Ohio

           Gb7Gb7   BB E MajorE
I've had enough of Columbus Ohio
