[Intro 1]
[A][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Afternoon, diesel fumes,
the [G]greyhound hit the [A]skid[D] s
[Bm]An d[D] kicked me off i[A]n Hollyw[D]ood,
[Bm]dodg[G]ing skateboard[A] kids
I took [D]a room, t[A]ook a[D] bath,
[Bm]then took [D]a lo[G]ok a[D]roun[A]d[D]
But every smile was just a grin
in [Bm]this [G]big [A]ambitious town
[D]L .[Em]A. Le[A]on[G], L [D].A. Leon[Bm],
I'm a [G]bean from a dust bowl crop
[D]L .A [G].li[D]en, ano[Bm]ther one
thrown in[G]to the melting [Asus4]pot
[A]There's a [Em]bit of me in
the folk[F#m]s I see,[Bm]
[A]crazy [F#m]an d alo[G]ne
L .A [D].lien, L [G].A [Bm].lien,
[Asus4]a long, w[G]ay from home[D]
I met a girl from Oregon
and a bar[G]tender [D]from Maine
And boredom with my homesickness
for those [G]white midwestern [Asus4]planes[D]
I'm somewhat of a hero
back in [G]Pikeville, [A]USA[D]
[Bm]But [D]here I'm just [A]a br[D]and -new song
with the [G]same old [D]thing [A]to [D]say
L [G].A. [D]Leon, L [Bm].A. Leon,
I'm a [G]fiend from a dustbowl crop
[D]L .A.[G] Leo[D]n, anoth[Bm]er one
thrown in[G]to the melting [A]pot
There's a [Em]bit of me in the
folk[F#m]s I see[Bm]
[A]Crazy [F#m]an d alo[G]ne
L .A. li[D]ens, L [Bm].A. liens
A [A]long, [G]long way from [D]home
On [A]Palmtree Street, my fore and deep
Are [D]lost and sore
[A]Point me [G]east from this [A]neon beast
Cause [Em]I can't take no mo[A]re
L [G].A [D].lien, L [Bm].A .lien
I'm a [G]fiend from a dustbowl crop
[D]L .A [G].li[D]en, one of mil[Bm] lions
Swallowed [G]up in a gold rush [A]flood
There's a [Em]bit of me in the f[F#m]aces I s[Bm]ee,
[A]crazy [F#m]an d alo[G]ne
Tell [D]aliens, tell [G]ali[Bm]ens,
we're [G]a long, long way from [D]home [G]you[D]
