• Key: C

🎸 Intro:

C

🎸 Verse:

                         C
When you waltzed out the door
              F                  G                    C
I′m sure they heard my crying on Mars for you were to me
                   F                        G
Much more than the sun and the moon and the stars
                   C
But I'm making big plans
                       F
Though I can′t find my heart with both hands
                 Dm
You'll see me no more
                  G              C
I'm bound for the shores of America

🎸 Verse 2:

                      C                          F
Are you helpless with laughter as you picture my life
             G                                      C
I′m nobody′s daughter, nobody's mother and nobody′s wife
                                       F
But I have my own name and what do you have but your shame
                 Dm                     G              C
You'll see me no more I′m bound for the shores of America

🎸 Verse 3:

            C                  F        G               C
And if it's true ahat only the good die young lucky old you
                  F
′Cause you'll be around until kingdom come
G                     F
But I'll be far, far away in North Carolina or Santa Fe
                 Dm                     G              Am
You′ll see me no more I′m bound for the shores of America
               Dm                         G              C
I've taken the cure and I′m bound for the shores of America
