Come A Long Way

C G Dm Dm
C G Dm Dm

  C                     Em7
I Kicked in his door at 5 A.M.
      F
"I've come for my bike" I told the 
repo man
   C                   Em7
My 920's gonna take me far today
        F                          
You can travel for miles and never 
         C
leave L. A.


[Bridge]

C G Dm Dm


[Chorus]

     C                     Em7
I've come a long way, I've come a 
long way
     F
I've gone 500 miles today
     C                     Em7
I've come a long way, I've come a 
long way
    F
And never even left L. A.

[Verse 1]

  C                            Em7
I drive by the Plaza where the gay 
boys pose
F
Stand in their windows wearing no 
clothes
  C                        Em7
I heard the screams of the dying 
dark
            F
Through the sweet green icing of 
MacArthur Park
           C                      
And then I crossed the river into 
Em7
East L. A.
   F
Pescado mojado me encontre
        C           Em7
And I'm given up on rock 'n roll
        F
And I'm saving up for norteño
    C                     Em7
The river she runs by the railroad 
tracks
  F
I swear I'll never take it back
Continúa después del anuncio
  C                       Em7
A train, she cries on the midnight 
hour
F
All along the Watts Tow---er


[Bridge]

C G Dm Dm
Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!


[Chorus]

     C                     Em7
I've come a long way, I've come a 
long way
     F
I've gone 500 miles today
     C                     Em7
I've come a long way, I've come a 
long way
    F
And never even left L. A.

[Verse 2]

  C                  Em7
I darted down to San Pedro Bay
F
Watched my ship sail in, watched her
 sail away
    C                  Em7
The sun was sinking in-to the sea
F
But a ball of fire inside of me
    C                    Em7
Was burning my motor and driving me 
hard
F
Past the big hair on the Boulevard
    C                     Em7
And up Mulholland where I made the 
scene
F
Like the one that took little Jimmy 
Dean
           C                       
And then I shimmied up Wilshire 
    Em7
like a little silk worm
         F
Past the rodeo and the pachyderm
           C                       
And then I stopped for coffee at an
 Em7
 art cafe
          F
I saw the repo man and made my 
getaway
          C                   Em7
Doing the Eagle Rock, heading for 
the hills
   F
Oh tried to let my engines cool
          C                 Em7
And it is not my fault that this 
town shakes
          F                  C    
I saw the falling rock and I hit 
  G
my brakes!


[Chorus]

     C                     Em7
I've come a long way, I've come a 
long way
     F
I've gone 500 miles today
     C                     Em7
I've come a long way, I've come a 
long way
    F
And never even left L. A.

        C                  Dm
Now you tow it to the repo man's 
front door
        Dm
And you give him these keys, I don't
 need 'em no more
    C                  Em7
You tow it to the repo man's front 
door
        Dm                         
And you give him these keys, I 
              G
don't need 'em no more...


[Chorus]

     C                     Em7
I've come a long way, I've come a 
long way
     F
I've gone 500 miles today
     C                     Em7
I've come a long way, I've come a 
long way
    F
And never even left L. A. ...
