Tom: Am

[Intro] Am  A4   Am  Am7  Am  Am7 

 Am
Well, we live in a trailer at the edge of town

You never see us 'cause we don't come around
 F                                                     Am
We got twenty five rifles just to keep the population down
 Dm                                 Am 
But we need you now, and that's why I'm hangin' 'round
     F
So you be good to me and I'll be good to you
 Em7                           Em
And in this land of conditions I'm not above 4 picion

I won't attack you, but I won't back you

( Am  A4   Am )
( Am7  Am  Am7 )

 Am
Well, it's so good to be here, asleep on your lawn

Remember your guard dog?

Well, I'm afraid that he's gone
 F                                                Am
It was such a drag to hear him whining all night long
  Dm
Yes, that was me with the doves

Setting them free near the factory
         Am
Where you built your computer, love
  F
I hope you get the connection
    Em7
'Cause I can't take the rejection
 Am
I won't deceive you, I just don't believe you

[Solo] Am  Am7  F  Am
       Dm  Am  F  Em  Am

  Am
Well, I'm a barrel of laughs, with my carbine on

I keep 'em hoppin', till my ammunition's gone
  F
But I'm still not happy
                                Am
I feel like there's something wrong
  Dm
I got the revolution blues

I see bloody fountains
     Am
And ten million dune buggies comin' down the mountains
  F                                             Em7
Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon is full of famous stars
 Am
But I hate them worse than lepers and I'll kill them in their cars

[Final] Am  Am7  F  Am
        Dm  Am  F  Em  Am
