Intro C F 

verse 1 
          C            G          C 
Out of Missouri with a song and a notion 
F            C                 G    F 
California's where it's got to be 
            C            G           C 
Chasing the dream to the big shining ocean 
       F                        G 
In the days when the loving was free 


verse 2 
         F           C              G                 C 
And they knew on the Strip when the first chords were chiming 
     F             C         G 
They knew this was no false alarm 
        F             C             G                  C 
So they took off on a trip and they just kept right on climbing 
     F                        G 
Have pity on the boy from the farm 


        F              C              G             C 
Did you see the bright lights of West Hollywood and Sunset? 
F               C             G 
Smile when they all knew your name 
       F               C        G              Am 
As the house lights go down in another English town 
      F               G             C         F 
Let's hear it for the cowboy in the rain 



verse 3 
           C         G             C 
Out on the road in a grey Northern winter 
F             C               G 
Opening for a strange talking band 
F              C                 G                  C 
Trying to keep warm when they're trying to keep you sober 
      F                         G 
And tonight it's getting out of hand 

        F              C             G            C 
Did you see the bright lights of the Lone Star on Broadway? 
F              C               G 
Smile when the girls knew your name 
       F               C        G              Am 
As the house lights go down in another English town 
      F               G             C 
Let's hear it for the cowboy in the rain

It's a long way back to Tipton by 747 
F           C           G 
Eight miles down to the ground 
        F               C            G                 C 
You can play your tambourine and you just might get to heaven 
      F                                    G 
But tonight, who says where the hell we're bound? 

        F              C             G         C 
Did you see the bright lights as you came into Heathrow?

Smile as you walked off the plane

As the house lights go down in another English town

As the house lights go down in another English town
