Chords with lyrics
VERSE 1
//Pick 
D MajorD and 
G+G for the verse//
Well I met him on the cliffs at twin rocks oragon
He was sitting on his bedroll looking just like Richard Brautigan
I thought he was an old man but he wasn't but 37
He said he'd been riding trains for 15 years
And drawing portraits to keep his belly full of beer
It looked to me like he'd died and missed the plane to Heaven
But he was a nice old guy for a younger man
He had a bottle of Mad Dog that he held in his hand
and waved around a lot to make his point
and I listend as he told his tales
of wine and women and county jails
and we finished off that bottle and smoked a half a joint
CHORUS
G+G
And he said I came here to watch the sun
G+G
disappear into the ocean
A augmentedA
cos it's been years since I smelled
G+G
the salty sea
G+G
And he turned his bottle up and down
G+G
And I saw him lost and I saw him found
A augmentedA
and he said I don't know what I've been looking for.
G+G
Maybe me.
VERSE 2
//Pick D MajorD and G+G for the verse//
Well I told him I too had been travelling around
Living out of my van from town to town
Playing for tips and whatever records I could move
I said I don't reckon I'll be making it big
It's hard to get rich off a tour of coffee house gigs
And he said yeah, but ain't it a blessing to do what you want to do
CHORUS
G+G
And I told him yeah I pulled off here to watch the sun
G+G
disappear into the ocean
A augmentedA
cos it's been years since I smelled
G+G
the salty sea.
G+G
And he turned his bottle up and down
G+G
And he saw me lost and he saw me found
A augmentedA
And he said I don't know what I've been looking for
G+G
Maybe me.
VERSE 3
//Pick D MajorD and G+G for the verse//
I said it's getting kinda late
Better be heading down to the interstate
Can I give you a lift to San Francisco Bay?
He said nope, I think I'm just going to sit here and rest
Maybe wait on the Tokyo-Montana express
I might just lay here and dream my life away
CHORUS
G+G
I'm going to sit right here, I'm going to wath the sun
G+G
Disappear into the ocean
A augmentedA
Cos it's been years
G+G
Yeah it's been years
G+G
I'm going to turn my bottle up and down
G+G
you can see me lost and you can see me found.
