Intro: F  C  F  C  F 

                        C 
My father made a pretty damn good living 
        F                       C  F 
Playing music on the Beauty Way 
                         C            Am     G 
He's gonna die with some money in his pocket 
                           Am                  G 
Wish I could do the same today, little darling 
                           Am 
Wish I could do the same today 


F                  C 
Doe-eyed kid and a little transistor 
F                   C    
Tuned into Wolfman Jack 
  F                             C       Am      G 
I picked up a guitar, heard the siren's whisper 
                   Am                   G 
And I never looked back, little darling 
                    Am   F 
And I never looked back 


                             C              F 
I worked the clubs along the Sangre Cristos 
                            C 
Polished the diamond in the rough 
       F                      C             Am     G 
By the time I hit L.A., I was hotter than a pistol 
                      Am                    G 
But you're never hot enough, little darling 
                      Am     F 
You never really hot enough 


                         C               F 
I felt the lights on the big, big stages 
                   C     F 
Fire burning in my soul 
                              C      Am     G 
I've had those nights when my guitar rages 
                              Am                   G 
But it's not something you control, little darling 
                          Am 
It's not something you control

F                     C 
Red-tail diving for a rat on Sunset 
F                          C 
Coyote picking through the trash 
  F                       C          Am    
I wish I was lying like a cat in the sun 
          G                          Am                   G 
'Stead of working like a dog for the cash, little darling 
                         Am 
I'm only working for the cash 


F                        C 
Sometimes I wish I could unplug this cord 
       F                         C 
And my soul or my money, I could save 
F                           C               Am    
Every time I say, I'm gonna quit the Beauty Way 
          G                      Am    
I hear my bones turning in their grave, little darling 
G                      Am   C 
Bones turning in their grave____, yeah, yeah 
F           C 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 
F     C           G     Am 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
F           C 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 
F     C           G     Am 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
