  A      E           G#mb5
Nobody knows where they're going
 A#mb5                        C#m7
Nobody knows where they're going
        G#m/D#        A                E
Nobody knows where they're going except me

  A         E
I told poor Joan
G#mb5                     A#mb5                             C#m7

               G#m/D#               A          E
And if you can talk to him, you can talk to me too"

      A      E        G#mb5
And Joan of Arc, she warned
     A#mb5                     C#m7
"The Lord has a lot of friends, and in the end
G#m/D#               A             E
He'll probably forget he's met you before"

    A           E            G#mb5
Oh Charles, tell me about the end
         A#mb5                    C#m7
You were there the day the music died
  G#m/D#         A           E
I'll be there the day it dies again

           A                 E      G#mb5
He said, "A masterpiece belongs to the dead
          A#mb5                   C#m7
There are microphones under your bed
            G#m/D#                 A         E
And there's footage that will prove us both wrong"

A         E
Can't you see?
G#mb5        A#mb5                              C#m7
Like Joshua kick-kick-kicked the king out of Jericho
             G#m/D#         A                E
I'm about to kick your ass up and down this street

Verse 2:

  A      E      G#mb5             A#mb5                   C#m7
I knew a man he sat behind a desk that was a million feet wide
       G#m/D#       A             E
But he laid down his hammer and he died

  A      E   G#mb5         A#mb5              C#m7
I knew a man, big and fat, born without arms or legs
G#m/D#             A         E
Born to jump in the air and clap

          A                        E         G#mb5             A#mb5            C#m7
He said, "Hang me from a yo-yo or a rope And I'll be hanging by my neck all the same
   G#m       C#m7          A            B              E
So too shall I reach Long Island City, one of these days"

A               E            G#mb5                A#mb5                     C#m7
 "Can't you see " he said, "The Sunday crowds are all my concubines and my enemies"
      G#m       C#m             A      B       E
But he too shall see Long Island City eventually

A                   E              G#mb5                 A#mb5                               C#m7
Maria cried out to me, "You can either leave, Or you can stop playing that cowbell with your gun"
    G#m       C#m7                 A       B       E
So I say, "Watch out, Long Island City, here I come"

A           E         G#mb5       A#mb5               C#m7
 Like Charlamagne in Vietnam. Until I get home, I am not anyone
G#m    C#m7   A     B       E
Long Island City, here I come


A              E              G#mb5      A#mb5                     C#m7
   Like Charlamagne on the midnight bus, I have no idea where I'm going
G#m/D#  A
Here I come


A*  Asus2 (Alternate these 2 chords on each strum)
