{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
I've been [G]long, [Gsus4] a long way from [G]here [Gsus4]
I [G]put on a poncho, [Gsus4]played for mosquitoes
And [G]drank 'til I was thirsty a[C]gain
We went [G]searchin' [Gsus4] through thrift store [G]jungles [Gsus4]
Found Ge[G]ronimo's rifle, [Gsus4]Marilyn's shampoo
And [G]Benny Goodman's corset and [C]pen

You get [G]down, [Gsus4] real [G]low down, [Gsus4]
You [G]listen to Coltrane, [Gsus4]derail your own train
Well, [G]who hasn't been there be[C]fore?
I come [G]'round, [Gsus4] around the [G]hard way [Gsus4]
Bring you [G]comics in bed, scrape the [Gsus4]mold off the bread
And [G]serve you French toast a[C]gain
