Intro A D7 E
[A]Gather around you people now to the tale that I tell
About the last time my friend moved he decided to move to hell
[D7]They call it Creslawn California down there USA
[A]For God and his wisdom burned it down one beautiful day
[E]He could not sleep for restlessness, downtown he went
Where he r[D7]an into some rednecks looking to[E] sexually experiment
[A]Me and this man had a band once and we were called The Shapes
You probably never heard of us and that really is okay
[D7]We drank and we threw up sometimes we practiced and played
[A]Our drummer couldn't figure out whether he was straight or he was gay
[E]We went on tour within walking distance of our house
Maybe th[D7]at is why no one knew what our soun[E]d was all about
Thats why I say gat[D7]her around you peo[E]ple now
Get your m[A]oney out to len[D7]d
We're all leaving to[E]wn for good aga[A]in
[E]For good again[A]

[A]We drink up at the high school by the stairs on the hill
Everything looked beautiful with enough booze and pills
[D7]It was nice to know that no one in their right mind would drop by
[A]Just bitch about some bull now and the lights lit up the sky
[E]You'd never understand the things my friend Eric put us through
[D7]He had this Powepoint presentation about this gir[E]l he want to do
[D7]Well now we were all such assholes but w[E]ho was keeping score
Most the people who still hate us they don't live here anymore
Thank God I don't live here anymore
Thats why I say gat[D7]her around you peop[E]le now
Get your m[A]oney out to len[D7]d

[A]We lived in the house and it was down on Lincoln street
We payed the bills now and they turned out the heat
[D7]I lived up in the attic right above the bathroom
[A]When I could pay my rent-man illegal drugs thats exactly what I do
[E]We barbecued in that alley until pa poisoned me with raw meat
Sometimes [D7]I come home at 4 AM and go fa[E]ce down in the streets
It was a l[D7]ow level existence thats what you pr[E]oper people'd say
But I wrote songs in that attic that I now get paid to play
So if you don't like people who live in attics now might be the time to say
Cuz' everybody who is anybody, in my opinion,
at one time l[D7]ived in somebody's hallwa[E]y
Thats why I say gat[D7]her around you peop[E]le now
