G+G          FF     C majorC
When I got back into Galveston again,

G+G             FF        C majorC
I shot my wad at Callow's Billiards Bar and Inn

   FF       C majorC
And I get a slow gin fizz

   FF           G+G
I am him, boy, who's your friend?

C majorC FF C majorC G+G

G+G            FF          C majorC
San Francisco broke me down and wrecked my head.

G+G            FF         C majorC
Guess I wasn't much cut out just like they said.

   FF        C majorC
City life just got me sick,

   FF           G+G
Moneyed pricks and seated tricks.

Pre-Chorus:


FF             C majorC
Wrote back tex to fill my gas,

FF             C majorC
Stocked myself on fancy grass,

      FF         G+G
Eastbound fast and that was that.

Chorus:


       C majorC         FF C majorC
Two thousand miles to Galveston.

FF     C majorC              FF     C majorC
Your old boy done packed his bag and brought it home.

FF     C majorC             FF     C majorC
Tell that what's-his-name I'd hate to break his nose,

   FF    C majorC             FF   C majorC
And tell your sister that she's looking mighty grown.

Saw the city boarded up your daddy's store

Billy don't live here anymore.

       FF     G+G
Jackie don't live here anymore.
