Intro: C, Em, C, D/F#, C, Em, D/F#

Verse 1
Em                     C 
She might be wearing a green chemise
      Em                            C 
And a hat that she bought 'cause it matches her jeans
        D/F#                     C
And the water she drinks well it comes from a stream
       Em                          D/F#
By the house she might win in that hospital lottery
       Em                    C           
And I might be stumbling and cursing them all                    
         Em                   C                        D/F#
When she picks me up from the place that we both call disaster relief
        C                        Em
For the rent must be paid by the first of the month
     D/F#
Or in my case, 15th


(Chorus)

        C
This is good as far as I can tell
           Em                      C
It's still heavy as hell when it's good
      Em
And I do like the road
           C
But I'd be better at home
       Em
I will pine for the oak streets
    C                       D/F#
And pine for the cedars and you

(Bridge)
Em
Been around I suppose
       C
I have chatted and chewed
       Em                      C
I have lugged my guitar to the nice cafe blues
         Em               C                    D/F#                        
And when I come home I am coming home to this street and these avenues

(Chorus)
        C

This is good but as far as I can tell
           Em                      C
It's still heavy as hell when it's good
      Em
And I do like the road
           C
But I'd be better at home
       Em
I will pine for the oak streets
    C                       D/F#
And pine for the cedars and you
