[Intro] A (8x)

A                   A
  Headed 'cross the border
A                      A
Looking for a place to play
            A
I left the sun behind
A
I don't mind
        A                       A
But I think that it looked like rain

              C      E F E  
Hold back the water           I 
     D                  A
gotta find time to burn
              C      E F E  
Hold back the water           I 
     D                  A
gotta find time to burn

A                 A
 Headed west to Georgia
A                        A
Looking for the road to L.A
              A
They say the weather's fine
         A
But the sun don't shine
             A                   A
'Cause the smog's always in the way

              C      E F E  
Hold back the water           I 
     D                  A
gotta find time to burn
              C      E F E  
Hold back the water           I

A                       A
  I've never played no smoker
     A                        A
You know I've never played no hotdog
      A
The preacher say
      A
I was born this way
        A                 A
With a storm cloud in my heart
