🎸 Intro:

| C      | E      | Am      | Am      |
| G      | F      | C       | C  G    |



🎸 Verse 1:
C                  E
 Let it be printed, let it be known
Am              Am
I'm leaving you
I'm going home
G                          F         C  C
 And all you can do is just watch me go

🎸 Verse 2:
G    C             E
I've put you down, talked you up
  Am                         Am
Defended your honor and then packed it in and picked it up
G                     F         C  C
 And all you can do is watch me go


🎸 Verse 3:
G        C                         E
From the Eastern seaboard, the landlocked Midwest
    Am                                 Am
The Keys, the Alps, the Black Hills and Budapest
        G                                 F
With my heart in a sling, tail between my legs a-swinging
              C
I'm sorry for leaving


🎸 Chorus:
    G       F           G
But when the palm trees bow their heads
Am             F
 No matter how wrong I've been
Dm    G                       C
 L.A., you always let me back in


🎸 Verse 4:
    G       C               E
And you can bury me when my body breaks
       Am                     Am
In the earth that created me, in the Golden State
      G                             F        C  C
By my mama and her brother and their mama too


🎸 Verse 5:
       G       C
'Cause I had a dream I was carried on backs
     E
Of a thousand green birds
         Am                   Am
And they carried me to a place without words
G                      F                   C
 And there was nothing, but there was everything
                        G
And it sounded like this


🎸 Instrumental:
| C      | E      | Am      | Am      |
| G      | F      | C       | C       |


🎸 Chorus:
    G       F           G
But when the palm trees bow their heads
Am             F
 No matter how wrong I've been
Dm    G                       C   E
 L.A., you always let me back in
            F           G
And when the palm trees bow their heads
Am             F
 No matter how cruel I've been
Dm    G                       F   G
 L.A., you always let me back in, in


🎸 Outro:
        F   G
Oh back in, in
        F   G   C
Oh back in, in
