Intro:
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Oh won’t you search with me all through the night
E MajorE
I've been digging through a junk piles most of my life
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
And I never found nothing, but something to do
E MajorE A augmentedA
And I’m doing alright now, I’m digging with you
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Doin' nothing in Fresno but coming down fast
E MajorE
I ran out of ways of making it last
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
So I paced around the house I was staying that night
E MajorE A augmentedA
And I couldn’t find nothing but a broken flashlight
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
My answer drove up in a old pickup truck
E MajorE
By the end of the driveway she’s picking through junk
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
I stammered, I asked her how much for that light?
E MajorE A augmentedA
She said "it ain’t for sale, ‘cause I need it tonight"
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
"Oh this is the time when us scavengers roam"
E MajorE
She pointed to junk piles in front of each home
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Said "come with me, search for a light of your own
E MajorE A augmentedA
And we’ll meet my friends and we can get stoned"

And a ray gun with a broken trigger
Some dark sun glasses
