Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
The [D]fly by night carnival
is closing down
Time to get off this merry go round
[G]Kids and rubes have left the fairgrounds
The [D]rock and roll gypsies are

[Verse 2]
getting' out of town
[D]
Northeastern Oklahoma is
calling my name
Gettin' off the grid and
the old shell game
[G]Gonna transcend like
Henry David Thoreau
And [D]listen to sweetheart of the rodeo

[Verse 3]
[D]
[C]So long city of [D]angels
Good[C]bye Sunset and [D]Vine
I'm [C]leaving for Oklaho[D]ma
[C]Adios Hollywood sign
[D]

[Verse 4]
The Warners record deal fell apart in L.A
The technicolor life turned battleship grey
It was [G]like I was Daniel in
the lion's den
Except [D]no spirit appeared to save my skin

[Verse 5]
[D]
So I'm leaving here with
the girl who shimmies
With her black eye liner and
her handful of gimme
Taking a [G]twin reverb with two
blown speakers
[D]Wearing my John

[Verse 6]
Varvatos converse sneakers
[D]
[C]So long city of [D]angels
Good[C]bye Sunset and [D]Vine
I'm [C]leaving for Oklaho[D]ma
[C]Adios Hollywood sign

[Interlude 1]
[D]
[G]

[Verse 7]
Gram [D]Parsons was right about
the thirty-first floor
floor
The earth is shaking and I
can't take it no more
So I'm [G]heading due east
hellbent for leather
[D]Might even get the band back together

[Interlude 2]
[C][D]
[C][D][C][D]
[C][G][D][G]

[Verse 8]
[C]So long city of [D]angels
Good[C]bye Sunset and [D]Vine
I'm [C]leaving for [D]Oklahoma

[Outro 1]
Adios Hollywood sign
