VERSE:
E
I think you think that I got lucky
                          F#
I see it written on your face
                               A
You say you'd like to fill my shoes
                          B
How easily you'd take my place

                            E
But if you spare me just a moment
                          F#
Before you go to beg and chase
                               A
I think I'll ask you just one question
 B                            E   E
How would you like to pay my dues?


CHORUS:
N.C.                               A
I shouldn't have come here in the first place
  B                               E
'Cus folks in here don't like my kind
                             A
I hear they've got a lot of reasons
B                            E
I think I see them on their signs

         A     B      E
They've got a lot to say

VERSE:
         E
I could draw a line from Texas
                        F#
Any place that's on the map
                   A
I might be in California
                              B
Then go to Georgia, be right back

                       E
Up and down the Mississippi
                          F#7
Tennessee river past the Shoals
 F#                             A
There underneath the lights of Broadway
 B                         E    E
I'm in the alley with the ghosts

I hear they've got a lot of reasons
B                            E
