• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Key: E

Verse 1:
                      A
Left Los Angeles this mornin'
                       E
The lovely city by the sea
                     F#7
It came on without a warnin'
                           B7
It had become too much for me
                      A
I could not be a city slicker
                           E
Don't believe that I would last
                      F#7
So big engine keep on turnin'
B7                         E
Goodbye L.A.'s it's been a gas

Verse 2:
                                A
I heard Mr. Jennings sing about travelin'
                       E
Said he was a ramblin' man
                         F#7
Made me lonesome for the highway
                          B7
To see some country once again
                                A
It's not that I don't like your company
                           E
Nor the good times that we spent
                             F#7
It's just that I feel out of place here
B7               E
Out of my environment

Verse 3:
                          A
It started lookin' like a downer
                          E
Made me feel like getting high
                     F#7
And the stallion was raring
                  B7
And pawing to the sky
                        A
There were seven horses tethered
                     E
Out beside the cabin door
                      F#7
My companion said I'm sorry
B7                          E
I don't believe we've met before
