Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

She might be wearing a green chemise

 And a hat that she bought 'cause it matches her jeans

 And the water she drinks well it comes from a stream

 By the house she might win in that hospital lottery

 And I might be stumbling and cursing them all

 When she picks me up from the place that we both call disaster relief

 For the rent must be paid by the first of the month

 Or in my case, 15th

(Chorus)

 This is good as far as I can tell

 It's still heavy as hell when it's good

 And I do like the road

 But I'd be better at home

 I will pine for the oak streets

 And pine for the cedars and you

(Bridge)

 Been around I suppose

 I have chatted and chewed

 I have lugged my guitar to the nice café blues

 And when I come home I am coming home to this street and these avenues

(Chorus)

 This is good but as far as I can tell

 It's still heavy as hell when it's good

 And I do like the road

 But I'd be better at home

 I will pine for the oak streets

 And pine for the cedars and you
