🎸 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
