Chords with lyrics

This is the way Mike played it at his live shows. It's my first tab. And I think its extremely important for
anyone, especially from Michigan to know this powerful song. Cheers.

I?m a writer and a lover

I?m a Midwest music man

And I?ve been to a lot of places

But baby, that ain?t no substitute
       E MajorE
Not for my hometown

That place people avoid

I?ve made love in every city

Honest and to the point

You see I got fucked up in Stockholm

   E MajorE
But he could write hell of a song?

I had a girl from San Diego
