tandard tuning, no capo :)
VERSE:
[F#]He got the droop of a fatherless child
Almost imperceptible, one can’t see it with the [G#m]naked eye[B]
Oh but[F#] I can
That cardboard lady in the corner store
Her sparkle is all painted on
Six no-good men took her shine and m[G#m]ore[B]
Left her youth near Sausal[F#]ito
CHORUS:
Oh it’s[G#m] humourless [B]and comical at once
[F#]Always being a stranger we[C#]aring the last town’s dust
Oh it’s[G#m] humou[B]rless,[F#] it’s humourless

VERSE:
[F#]They look me over, one up and one down
I can tell they’re wondering who my people are
I say I[G#m]217;m new in [B]town
I know it’s gonna tak[F#]e a while
CHORUS:
Oh it’[G#m]s humourless [B]and comical at once
[F#]Always being a stranger we[C#]aring the last town’s dust
Oh it’s [G#m]humour[B]less,[F#] it’s humourless
VERSE:
[F#]I speculate and browse the duraflame
Winter in the west coast cool
Out by the sea where no one knows my [G#]name[B]
I’m on the road [F#]like Jack Kerouac
Like Jack, Jack Kerouac
Like Jack, Jack Kerouac
Like Jack, Jack Kerouac
