I crossed the highways like I did as a child
B minorBm A minorAm G+G FF
On my way to the movies, I pet cats and smile
FF D MajorD FF
I walk the back alleys, their John Steinback calm
B minorBm A minorAm G+G FF
Fake trees, lemon trees, tall shady palms
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
Big empty churches, old antique stores
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
Peeling Victorians that used to house whores
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
I take the back streets back to my digs
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
And look up at skies like I did as a kid
FF D MajorD FF
My bedroom window, I?d look out and dream
B minorBm A minorAm G+G FF
Of a life close to what I?m living
FF D MajorD FF
A augmentedA traveling singer who plays good guitar
B minorBm A minorAm G+G FF
At outdoor festivals, theaters and bars
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
And I got a nice girl, she?s beautiful too
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
We?re destined to be this, I know to be true
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
Sure there were others, but nothing this nice
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
She set the bait and I took the bite
E minorEm FF G+G A minorAm
The streets of Martinez, I love them so
E minorEm FF G+G A minorAm
I walk around thinking the sun?s always low
E minorEm FF G+G A minorAm
The cats of Martinez, I love them so
E minorEm FF G+G A minorAm
I feed them at night, they run off and go
E minorEm FF G+G A minorAm
Four kitty cats, gave them their names
E minorEm FF G+G A minorAm
Monster Fluff, Half Fluff, No Fluff and Sammy
E minorEm FF G+G A minorAm
They?re the highlights of my songwriting days
E minorEm FF G+G A minorAm
They?re happy to see me, we sit and we play
FF D MajorD FF
These are some words I wrote down last night
B minorBm A minorAm G+G FF
I?ve beat ?em to death and I can?t get ?em right
FF D MajorD FF
Songwriting?s lonely, songwriting hurts
B minorBm A minorAm G+G FF
A augmentedA relentless itch and bed bug curse
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
Songwriting costs, it doesn?t come free
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
Ask Eliot Smith, ask Richie Lee
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
Ask Mark Linkous, ask Shannon Hoon
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
To get up on stage and sing you a tune
FF D MajorD FF
This business is troubling, a big nagging cyst
B minorBm A minorAm G+G FF
You get on this plane and I?ll sit at your desk
FF D MajorD FF
And I?ll leave at eight and be home by five
B minorBm A minorAm G+G FF
Call me from Warsaw if you have time
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
Ever wonder why there aren?t more
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
Than ten songs on most albums, cause it?s a chore
E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
To write half a dozen, some guys lay back
E minorEm D MajorD
And rest on their laurels
A minorAm
Like lazy old hacks
E minorEm FF
Well I wrote this one
G+G A minorAm
And I know it ain?t great
E minorEm FF
We?ll probably sequence it
G+G A minorAm
Track number eight
E minorEm FF
And pick up some water at 7-11
G+G A minorAm
On my way to the mastering session
E minorEm FF G+G A minorAm
The streets of Martinez, I love them so
E minorEm FF G+G A minorAm
I walk out the door and the sun always flows
E minorEm FF G+G A minorAm
The cats of Martinez, I love them so
E minorEm FF G+G A minorAm
