[A]I was never one to compr[D]omise
[E]Couldn?t fit in at schoo[A]l
[A]Gonzo by the 7th grade[D]
[E]I played em all the fool[A]
[E]Well I couldn?t [D/F#]find shoes my size
[A]Had to walk ten [D]miles
[A]There?s blisters[D] on the backs of my soles
[E]And an illegal s[A]mile
[E]We?re burning down Las Vegas tow[D/F#]n
[A]Had to sleep by noon[D]
[A]Drank my money o[D]n a red roulette
[E]That?s a ride you can?t [A]refuse
[E]Five hours down [D/F#]with a sunrise frown
[A]Lightning in you[D]r shoes
[A]It?s one foot in[D] the ether
[E]With the LA Coun[A]ty blues
Fill x2
[A]They got me on accessory[D]
[E]Thirty days in j[A]ail
[A]One headlight in a Luisv[D]ille night
[E]Without a chance of bail[A]
[E]Well I?ll be home at der[D/F#]by time
[A]So please save me a seat[D]
[A]Mint juleps on the outfi[D]eld grass
[E]The old south tastes so [A]sweet
[E]We?re burning down Las Vegas tow[D/F#]n
[A]Had to sleep by noon[D]
[A]Drank my money o[D]n a red roulette

Fill x 2
[A]Well you can call Mister Raoul D[D]uke
[E]I?ll know what you mean [A]
[A]Blinded by a quart of ru[D]m
[E]And a dose of mescaline [A]
[E]Mint 400 couldn?t slow m[D/F#]e down
[A]I kinda like the speed[D]
[A]With the failure of our [D]generation
[E]For a couple bags of wee[A]d
