Buddy tip your bottle back, climb aboard the bus 
           D/A             A 
Join your brothers in the band 
   G                                   D 
If you ain't bombed in Birmingham then you ain't one of us 
          A     A7      D 
We don't really give a damn 
 
 
G                           D 
London is a hundred miles away from where we're at 
        D/A            A 
And a thousand years behind 
G                                 D 
Splittin' from a sorry gig that left us feelin' flat 
        A       A7      D 
Outta sight and outta mind 
 
 
G                                       D 
Cruisin' through the countryside we'll never see again 
         D/A             A 
Ain't it lonesome out tonight 
G                                D 
We been on this road now since I can't remember when 
      A         A7     D

Well I've been everywhere and I seen everything there is 
                    D 
But I never saw the light 
E                             A 
Scared to death of dyin' so I do my best to live 
      D               A 
Outta mind and outta sight 
 
 
E                               A 
Knowin' no one nowhere's gonna miss us when we're gone 
                                 D 
Let's keep drinkin' 'til we're blind 
E                             A 
Everybody's sleepin' and I'm stuck inside a zone 
       D               A 
Outta sight and outta line, outta line 
 
 
E7                               A 
Someday when it's over and it's time to settle down 
                        D 
And we've left it all behind 
E                             A 
We can sit and wonder how we ever got around 
       D                A 
Outta sight and out of mind 
        D               A 
Outta sight and outta mind
