            C
My father made a pretty damn good living
    F            C F
Playing music on the Beauty Way
             C      Am   G
He's gonna die with some money in his pocket
              Am         G
Wish I could do the same today, little darling
              Am
Wish I could do the same today

F         C
Doe-eyed kid and a little transistor
F          C
Tuned into Wolfman Jack
 F               C    Am   G
I picked up a guitar, heard the siren's whisper
          Am          G
And I never looked back, little darling
          Am  F
And I never looked back


               C       F
I worked the clubs along the Sangre Cristos
              C
Polished the diamond in the rough
    F           C       Am   G
By the time I hit L.A., I was hotter than a pistol
           Am          G
But you're never hot enough, little darling
           Am   F
You never really hot enough


             C        F
I felt the lights on the big, big stages
          C   F
Fire burning in my soul
               C   Am   G
I've had those nights when my guitar rages
               Am          G
But it's not something you control, little darling
             Am
It's not something you control


INSTRUMENTAL: F C F C F C Am G Am G Am


F           C
Red-tail diving for a rat on Sunset
F             C
Coyote picking through the trash
 F            C     Am
I wish I was lying like a cat in the sun
     G             Am          G
'Stead of working like a dog for the cash, little darling
             Am
I'm only working for the cash


F            C
Sometimes I wish I could unplug this cord
    F             C
And my soul or my money, I could save
F              C        Am
Every time I say, I'm gonna quit the Beauty Way
     G           Am
I hear my bones turning in their grave, little darling
G           Am  C
Bones turning in their grave____, yeah, yeah
F      C
Yeah, yeah, yeah
F   C      G   Am
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
F      C
Yeah, yeah, yeah
F   C      G   Am
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
