🎸 Intro:

Esus4 E



🎸 Verse:

Esus        E
Workin' the corner
         Esus        E
When the record deal happened
        Esus        E
And the week before I found out
      Esus            E
I was sleepin' on the floor
        Esus     E
With my new best gal
     Esus       E
In a very, very empty house
      C#m
Wrong kind of non-conformist
       A
That's the case and always be
     C#m
In a sleeping bag 'front of the fireplace
A                   B
Your girlfriend and me

🎸 Chorus:

E                  B
Somewhere over the rainbow bar and grill
       F#m
Well I never knew me a better time
      B
And I guess I'll never will
E                  B
Somewhere over the rainbow bar and grill
F#m
Some say they was happy then
B
Me, I'm happy still


🎸 Interlude:

Esus4 E


🎸 Verse:

            Esus     E
Down at the local canteen
             Esus     E
You know the smell of fresh sawdust
          Esus  E
When they first throw it on the floor
           Esus    E
You hear a rockin' little rhythm
        Esus    E
From inside the rhythm kitchen
          Esus    E
As you're walkin' past the canteen door
              Esus     E
A hundred and twenty degrees
               Esus      E
The good times spreading like humidity
    Esus        E
And here's what I found out
           Esus         E
This one belongs in the book or it oughta be
           Esus    E
We'll do a shot as we sail out
       C#m
The authority's implored us
       A
And it happened frequently
     C#m
In a sleeping bag 'front of the fireplace
A                   B
Your girlfriend and me


🎸 Chorus 2:

E                  B
Somewhere over the rainbow bar and grill
       F#m
It's a damn good story
      B
And there's still more to tell
E                  B
Somewhere over the rainbow bar and grill
        F#m
You say times they ain't got better
B
Maybe they still will


🎸 Bridge:

A
We know all the punchlines
    C#m
But we still laugh like hell
F#m
One thing never changes
      B                C
Still can't afford the bill


🎸 Interlude:

Esus4 E


Pre 🎸 Chorus:

      C#m
Wrong kind of non-conformist
           A
That's the case and always be
     C#m
In a sleeping bag 'front of the fireplace
A                   B
Your girlfriend and me



🎸 Chorus 3:

E                  B
Somewhere over the rainbow bar and grill
