Out of Missouri with a song and a notion

California's where it's got to be 
            C            G           C 
Chasing the dream to the big shining ocean

In the days when the loving was free

And they knew on the Strip when the first chords were chiming 
     F             C         G 
They knew this was no false alarm 
        F             C             G                  C 
So they took off on a trip and they just kept right on climbing

Have pity on the boy from the farm

As the house lights go down in another English town

Let's hear it for the cowboy in the rain

Out on the road in a grey Northern winter 
F             C               G 
Opening for a strange talking band 
F              C                 G                  C 
Trying to keep warm when they're trying to keep you sober

And tonight it's getting out of hand

As the house lights go down in another English town

It's a long way back to Tipton by 747 
F           C           G 
Eight miles down to the ground 
        F               C            G                 C 
You can play your tambourine and you just might get to heaven 
      F                                    G 
But tonight, who says where the hell we're bound?
