Intro: D C G x3 C G D
Saw him [G]sittin on a [A]sidewalk in [D]Fresno
Braided [G]hair and a tye-dyed [A]t-shirt on
[G]Talkin to [A]himself about [D]Vietnam
About the [G]tour he did and the [A]deal he got
He said this [G]world ain't the same if [A]you ask me.
If I could [G]be somewhere else, I'd tell you [A]where I'd be
(Chorus:)
I'd be [D]rollin' on a [C]river with [G]Creedance
Stealin' [D]kisses from Peggy [A]Sue
I'd be [D]knee-deep in [C]sand on a Pan[G]ama beach
In the [E]spring of '[A]72
I'd be [G]wastin' away on the [D]dock of the bay
[G]Watchin' the tide roll [D]in
He said what [C]I wouldn't give just to [G]live those songs
[D]again.
Saw him workin' the counter at Walgreens
With a new haircut and a Bachelor's Degree
Talkin' to himself about his raw deal
Cussin' Uncle Sam and the GI bill
He said This world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me.
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be
(Chorus)
Solo: Same as intro
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me.
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be
(Chorus)
