                                  this riff is repeated at the end of every verse and in the chorus


[Verse 1]
D                         G
  Left my home when I was seventeen
D                        G
  Feet were dirty but my soul was clean
D                     G
  I was looking for a young man's dream
     D w/riff
  It seemed

[Verse 2]
D                      G
  Found a living up in Illinois
D                               G
  She brought me sorrow and she brought me joy
D                        G
  Treated me just like a rubber toy
     D w/riff
  Oh boy

[Chorus]
G
Don't take long to fall in love
G                                            D w/riff
Takes a little time to get back where you're from
G
Looking at the world through electric eyes
G                    Em7            A7
Feel like I died and woke up in paradise

[Verse 3]
D                       G
  Life is over 'fore it all begins
D                             G
  But if you're looking for a way back in
D                         G
  You can say you knew me way back when
       D w/riff
  Back when

[Solo]
(He repeats a variation of the intro)

[Chorus]
G
Don't take long to fall in love
G                                            D w/riff
Takes a little time to get back where you're from
G
Looking at the world through electric eyes
G                    Em7            A7
Feel like I died and woke up in paradise

[Outro]
D                         G
  Left my home when I was seventeen
D                        G
  Feet were dirty but my soul was clean
D                     G
  I was looking for a young man's dream
     D
  It seems
