[Verse]
A               F                         C
I took three days to drive down one street
A           F                      C
The radio on, tuned to the big fleet
A          F                                C
Invisible planes are cracking the concrete
G                       F
That's just what some people say
A          F
Hey hey

A                   F                         C
I put down my blanket on cigarette-butt beach
A           F                      C
I saw the old man, he was doing okay
A          F
He's making his last stand
C                            A
On old bottles and cans
G          F
'Round there, Calistan way
A          F
Hey hey

[Chorus]
E               F
Used to be sixteen lanes
C               B
Used to be Nuevo Spain
Bb            G
Used to be Juan Wayne
E               F
Used to be Mexico
C               B
Used to be Navajo
Bb            G          A        C
Used to be yippy-ay-I-don't-know

[Verse]
A               F                         C
Went in from the weather when I got wheezy
A           F                      C
I play some Pachinko I play Pachisi
A          F                             C
And St. Anne is still making it breezy
G                       F
In the valley of tar that once was L.A.
A          F
Hey hey

And my best friend, he's the king of Karaoke
He struck up a chord and he took it away
Out of the pan
And into Japan
'Round there, Calistan way
Hey hey

[Chorus]
E               F
Used to be sixteen lanes
C               B
Used to be Juan Wayne
Bb            G
Used to Mexicain
E               F
Used to be Espano Nuevo
C               B
Used to be Navajo
Bb            G          A        C
Used to be yippy-ay-I-don't-know

A    C
A    C
F    G
