Jim Morrison, Miami County Prison,
                E             B7
lookin' out the window at the barbed
 wire fence
         A               E       
Singing "This ain't for me, this 
A               E
rock and roll scene.
  A                 E            
I should be writing poetry on a farm
B7
 out in France.
         A                    
"Cause I can't see through the 
 E         F#m             E
darkness. I can't feel no pain.
      A             E              
Seems you lose your spark when you 
F#m          E
achieve your fame.
A                    E       F#m 
I could start it all over, I could 
  E
escape.
           A    E          B7     
If I could only make it to twenty 
E
eight
           A    E          B7     
If I could only make it to twenty 
E
eight."

Janis Joplin, one foot in the

A                 E               
Left that field a-rockin' and she 
B7
walked on out the door.
            A           E         
She put her head in her hands, she
            A           E
 said "I've given all I can.
A                        E       
I drain myself for these fans. I 
      B7
ain't never been this dry before.
     A                     E      
"But Imma move out of this Chelsea
             F#m              E
 Hotel, stop drinking all the time.
     A               E         
Stop blowin' Leonard Cohen and 
F#m              E
listening to him whine.
        A         E               
Cause I know I am beautiful, I 
  F#m          E
will prove it someday.
           A    E          B7     
If I could only make it to twenty 
E
eight.
           A    E          B7     
If I could only make it to twenty 
E
eight."

[Verse 3]
    B7                      E     
And Kurt Cobain sat in his shed in
     A
 the rain,
A               E                 
stomach full of pain, eyes growin'
 B7
 dark.
             A          E         
He said "I'm losing control. Ought
    A                 E
 to move down to San Francisco,
      A                    E      
light candles at all of my shows 
   B7
and switch to acoustic guitars.
 A          E                     
"Cause this world don't need no 
   F#m         E
more tension and hate.
        A                E     
Needs a reason for these kids to 
        F#m    E
stand up and create.
            A         E           
And I could pull this trigger, or 
        F#m       E
I could just walk away,
           A    E          B7     
if I could only make it to twenty 
E
eight.
           A    E          B7     
If I could only make it to twenty 
E
eight.
           A    E          B7     E
If I could only make it
           A    E          B7     E
If I could only make it."
