[Intro]

A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE


[Verse 1]

A augmentedA
Pack up all your dishes
D MajorD
Make note of all good wishes
A augmentedA
Say goodby to the landlord for me
E MajorE
That sum-bitch has always bored me
A augmentedA
Throw out them old LA papers
D MajorD
And that moldy box of vanilla wafers
A augmentedA
Adios to all this concrete
E MajorE                     A augmentedA E MajorE
Gonna get me some dirt road back street

[Chorus]

     D MajorD          E MajorE
If I can just get off of that LA freeway
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
Without getting killed or caught
A augmentedA
Down that road in a cloud of smoke
     E MajorE
For some land that I ain't bought, bought, bought
     D MajorD          E MajorE
If I can just get off of that LA freeway
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
Without getting killed or caught


[Verse 2]

A augmentedA
Here's to you old skinny Dennis
D MajorD
Only one I think I will miss
A augmentedA
I can hear them old bass men singing
E MajorE
Sweet and low like a gift you're bringin'
A augmentedA
Play it for me just one more time now
D MajorD
Got to give it all we can now
A augmentedA
I believe everything your saying
E MajorE               A augmentedA E MajorE
Just keep on keep on playing

[Chorus]

     D MajorD          E MajorE
If I can just get off of that LA freeway
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
Without getting killed or caught
A augmentedA
Down that road in a cloud of smoke
     E MajorE
For some land that I ain't bought, bought, bought
     D MajorD          E MajorE
If I can just get off of that LA freeway
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
Without getting killed or caught


[Verse 3]

A augmentedA
Put the pink slip in the mailbox
D MajorD
Leave the key in the old front door lock
A augmentedA
They will find it likely as not
E MajorE
With all the things that we have forgot
A augmentedA
Oh Susanna now don't you cry, babe
D MajorD
Love's a gift that's surely handmade
A augmentedA
We've got something to believe in
E MajorE                    A augmentedA E MajorE
Don't you think it's time we're leavin'


[Chorus]

     D MajorD          E MajorE
If I can just get off of that LA freeway
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
Without getting killed or caught
A augmentedA
Down that road in a cloud of smoke
     E MajorE
For some land that I ain't bought, bought, bought
     D MajorD          E MajorE
If I can just get off of that LA freeway
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
