INTRO: G  C  G  Am   C  G  D  G

                                     C
I'm spinning like an old turn table
      G             D             G
Three speeds, going nowhere fast

I hesitate at the door to the future
C       G        D                  Em
Holding on to my bitter-sweet past


CHORUS:
       D          G            Em
Me and all of the percolators
       D          G              Em
Me and all of the rotary phones
       D         G
Me and all of my vinyl records
C          ~             Am
Warped and scratched and out of date
C  G  D G

                                         C
I've got friends from the old home town
           G           D               G
We used to work at the home town news

I've got houses in a couple of cities
C         G             D                Em
I'm still singing those home town blues


CHORUS:
       D          G                Em
Me and all of the drive in movies
       D          G                 Em
Me and all of the afternoon papers
           D         G
Me and the free-form radio
C      ~      Am
Fading in and out of date
C  G  D G     Em

BRIDGE:
       D            G                 Em
I hear talk about a great depression
           D            G            Em
I hear the drums of the war machine
         D      G
I wonder if I'm stuck in the past
         Am               D
Or if it all repeats just like a CD


INSTRUMENTAL: G     C  G  D   G     C  G  D

                                     C
So I'm following the railroad lines
             G        D            G
It's another job and another town

I skip around in record time
  C          G          D                 Em
I try not to notice the candle burn down


CHORUS:
       D          G                  Em
Me and all of the rust belt workers
       D          G                  Em
Me and all of the hot-type printers
       D          G
Me and all of the family farms
C         ~       Am
Auctioned off and out of date
C  G  D G      Em

CHORUS:
   D      G            Em
Whoa, the percolators
   D      G              Em
Whoa, the rotary phones
    D         G
And all of my vinyl records
C          ~             Am
Warped and scratched and out of date
            C  G  D G
It's like a 33,45,78
  C  G  D G   C  G  D  G
A 33,45,78
