Calistan

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

Am                F                    C
I put down my blanket on cigarette butt beach
Am                F                  C
I saw the old man, he was doing okay
Am                       F              C             Am
He's making his last stand - on old   bottles and cans

Went in from the weather when I got wheezy
Am                F               C
I play some pachinko I play pachisi

Am                    F               C
And saint Anne is still making it breezy

In the valley of tar that once was LA    hey hey

And my best friend he's the king  of karaoke
Am                 F                 C
He struck up a chord and took it away
Am             F       C        Am
Out of the pan and   into Japan
G                F             A     F
Round there, Calistan way    hey hey
