[Intro]

A D A E A D A E


[Verse 1]

A
Pack up all your dishes
D
Make note of all good wishes
A

Say goodby to the landlord for me
E
That sum-bitch has always bored me
A
Throw out them old LA papers
D
And that moldy box of vanilla wafers
A
Adios to all this concrete
E                                         A  E
Gonna get me some dirt road back street


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 3]

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


[Chorus]

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