Chord/Tab song: Too Dumb for New York City

TOO DUMB FOR NEW YORK CITY
written by Waylon Jennings and Basil McDavid
performed by Waylon Jennings.

Verse 1:
When i first s[D]aw New York city

I was green down to the core

You could see my red neck glowing

For a mile or maybe more
Between the hu[A]stlers and the hookers

I must have made their day

Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd
And sent me on my [D]way

Bridge 1:

When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged

It ain't no place to be

So i came to one conclusion
New Y[A]ork ain't for me

Chorus:
From s[D]ea to shining sea

And coast to coast

Somewhere in the middle

Is the land i love the most
I ain't Ca[A]lifornia pretty

I can't survive the Great White Way

I'm too dumb for New York city
And too ugly for L[D].A.

Verse 2:

I made my way to Tinseltown

To Hollywood and Vine

Out among those pretty faces

I'd surely find a place for mine
The wa[A]y i walk-the way i talk

They'll hang on every word

But don't call me,i'll call you
Was all i ever hea[D]rd

Bridge 2:

In L.A. what they're thinking
Ain't what they talk about

At least in New York city
Ther[A]e's never any doubt

Chorus.

I'm t[A]oo dumb for New York city
And too ugly for L[D].A.
