   C        D     F               
I see the shapes, I remember from 
F G
maps
  C         D        F      
I see the shoreline, I see the 
        F G
whitecaps
  C          D       F           
A baseball diamond, nice weather 
      F G
down there
   C        D      F             
I see the schools, and the houses
            F    G
 where the kids are
  C         D  F                 
Places to park, by the factories 
      F   G
and buildings
 C               D   F           
Restaurants and bars for later in
      F   G
 the evening
 Am                      G    F  
Then we come to the farmlands and

 the undeveloped areas

 Am               G      F       
And I have learned how these 
             G
things work together
  Am               G F      
I see the parkways that passes 
                  G
through them all
 Am              G  F            
And I have learned how to look at
            G
 these things

     REFRÃO
                  Bb          F   
And I say, I wouldn't live there 
                Eb
if you paid me
Bb          F                Eb
I wouldn't live there, ooh, no siree
Bb          F                Eb
I wouldn't do the things the way 
those people do
Bb          F                 Eb
I wouldn't live there if you paid me
 to


I guess it's healthy, I guess the 
air is clean
And I guess those people have fun 
with their neighbors and friends
Look at that kitchen and all of that
 food
Look at them eat, I guess it tastes 
real good
 Am                              G
They're growin' in those 
  F                          F  G
farmlands, then they bring it to the
 stores
 Am                            
They put it in their car trunks, 
G  F                      F  G
then they bring it back home

CHORUS

I'm tired of looking out the window 
of the airplane
I'm tired of travelling, I want to 
be somewhere
And it's not even worth talking 
about those people down there
 Bb              F              
Do do da da da   Do do da da da Do 
Eb
do
(keep on doing chorus with various 
noises)
(eventually hold the Eb a while and 
end on Bb)
