Verse 1:

  C          Cmaj7    Dm             F
I kicked in his door at 5am, I've come for my bike I told the repo man
  C         Cmaj7        Dm       F      C Cmaj7 Dm F
My 920's gonna take me far today you can travel for miles and never leave LA

Chorus:

  C         Em          Dm    F
I come a long way, I come a long way, I've come 500 miles today
  C         Em          Dm    F   C Cmaj7 Dm F
I come a long way, I come a long way, and never even left L.A.


Verse 2:

  C             Cmaj7       Dm
I drive by the Plaza where the gay boys pose, standing in their windows
 F           C           Cmaj7
Wearing no clothes, I heard the screams of the dying dark
       Dm          F
Through the sweet green icing of Macarthur Park
       C          Cmaj7     Dm       F
And then I crossed the river into East L.A., "Pescada mojada me encontre."
   C      Cmaj7         Dm      F
I'm giving up on rock 'n roll and I’m saving up for norteno’
   C          Cmaj7        Dm        F
The river she runs by the railroad tracks, I swear I'll never take it back
  C          Cmaj7      Dm       F    C Cmaj7 Dm F
A train she cries on the midnight hour, all along the Watts tower


Chorus:

  C         Em          Dm    F
I come a long way, I come a long way, I've come 500 miles today
  C         Em          Dm    F    C Cmaj7 Dm F
I come a long way, I come a long way, and never even left L.A.

Verse 3:

  C          Cmaj7         Dm            F
I gunned it down to San Pedro Bay, watched my ship sail in watched her sail away
   C        Cmaj7         Dm       F
The sun was sinking in to the sea, but a ball of fire inside of me
    C         Cmaj7      Dm            F
It was burning my motor, driving me hard, past the big hair on the boulevard
 C          Cmaj7           Dm          F
Up Mullholland where I made the scene, like the one that took little Jimmy Dean
  C             Cmaj7            Dm      F
I shimmied up Wilshire like a little silkworm, past the rodeo and the pachyderm
  C           Cmaj7         Dm          F
I stopped for coffee at an art café, I saw the repo man and made my getaway
      C         Cmaj7         Dm       F
Doing the Eagle Rock, heading for the hills, oh, trying to let my engines cool
     C         Cmaj7
And it's not my fault, that this town shakes,
      Dm         F
I saw the falling rocks and I hit my brakes


Chorus:

  C         Em          Dm    F
I come a long way, I come a long way, I've come 500 miles today
  C         Em          Dm    F   C Cmaj7 Dm F
I come a long way, I come a long way, and never even left L.A.


Bridge:

     C         Dm
Now you tow it to the repo man's front door
     F              Dm
And you give him these keys I don't need them no more
   C         Dm
You tow it to the repo man's front door
   F              Dm
And give him these keys I don't need them no more


Chorus:

  C         Em          Dm    F
I come a long way, I come a long way, I've come 500 miles today
  C         Em          Dm     F   C Cmaj7 Dm F C
I come a long way, I come a long way, and never even left L.A.
