[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Let's get this cir[G5]cus
[Am]on down the road[C]
[Am]We're taking bets how far
a tank of [D]gas will [C]go
[Am]Call up your best friend,
then call two [C]more
[Am]About to do some shit that
you ain't [D]seen be[C]fore
[Am]There ain't no backdoor,
there ain't no sign
Location changes almost every [D]other [C]night
[Am]Last time we found it,[G]
[Am]can't remember much
I thought I was a god until my
lawyer woke me up and said

[Verse 2]
I'll [Am]testi[G5]fy that I [D]was
right out of my [G5]mind
[Am]Let the [G5]record show I [D]did it all
for rock and [C]roll
Screamin' [Am]every [G5]night,
[D]playing twenty-five to to [G5]life
[Am]So someb[G5]ody plea[C]se keep me the[D]
hell [G5]out of San [Am]Quentin[G5][D]
[G5]Out [Am]of San Quentin,
[G5]just[D] keep me out of [C]San Quentin[Am]
[G5]Oh, [D]can [G5]some[Am]body ple[G5]ase keep[C][D]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Got out on bail,
[G5]we h[Am]it the town[C]
[Am]Somebody told me we should
burn it [D]to the [C]ground
[Am]Too many favors,[G5]
[Am]too much to drink
Come six AM,
they had me back inside the clink

[Verse 4]
I'm gonna [Am]testi[G5]fy that I[D]
was right out [C]of my [G5]mind
[Am]Let [G5]the record show I [G]did it a[D]ll
for rock and [C]roll
Screamin' [Am]every [G5]night,
[D]playing twenty-five to to [G5]life
[Am]So can s[G5]omebody pl[C]ease keep [D]me the
hell [G5]out of San [Am]Quentin?[G5][D]
[G]Out [Am]of San [G5]Quentin, [D]oh,

[Verse 5]
[Am]Tough to find a goddamn alibi
Wrong or right, it's tough to justify
Can't dismiss, too many witnesses
When insanity's the pattern,
it don't matter what it is

[Verse 6]
I'm gonna [Am]testi[G5]fy that I[D]
was right out of my [G]mind
[Am]Let the record s[G5]how I [D]did it all
