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

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

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

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
