[Verse 1]
I met [Gsus2]him on
the cliffs
Of twin rocks, [D]Oregon
He was sittin' on [Gsus2]his bedroll
Lookin' just like [D]Richard Brautigan
I [Gsus2]thought he was a[G]n old m[Gsus2]an,
He wasn't [Asus4]but 37[D]
He said he'd been [G]ridin' trains
[Gsus2]For 15 ye[D]ars
Drawin' por[Gsus2]traits
To keep his belly full [D]of beer
And it looked [Gsus2]to me like
[G]he'd died
And missed [Gsus2]the plane[Asus4]
[G]to heaven[D]
But he was [Gsus2]a nice old guy
For a [G]younger [Gsus2]man[D]
He had [Gsus2]a bottle of mad [G]dog
[Gsus2]He held in his[G] hand[D]
That [Gsus2]he waved around a lot
To [G]make his [Asus4]point[D]
And I listene[Gsus2]d as he told his tales
[D]Of wine and [Gsus2]wo men
and county [D]jails
And we fin[Gsus2]ished off that bottle
And [G]smoked [Asus4]a half a joint
He said [D]"I came here to [G]watch
[Gsus2]the sun[D]
Disappear [G]into the [Bm]ocean
It's been [Asus4]years
[A]Since [Asus4]I smelled this salty [G]sea"[D]
He turned his bottle [G]up and down
[Gsus2]And I saw[D] him lost[Gsus2]
[G]And I saw him[Bm] found[A]
He said "I don't [Asus4]know what
I've [G]been
Lookin' for,
maybe [D]me"[Gsus2][D]
[Gsus2][D]
Well, I told him [Gsus2]I too had been
Travelin' [D]around
[Gsus2]Livin' out of my va[G]n from
[Gsus2]town to town[D]
[Gsus2]Playin' for tips and
whatever [G]re cords
[Asus4]I could m[G]ove[D]
I said "I don't [Gsus2]reckon I'll be
Makin' it big,
You [D]know it's [Gsus2]hard to get [D]rich
[Gsus2]Off a tout of coffee house gigs"[D]
And he said "yeah,
[Gsus2]but ain't it a [G]blessin'[Gsus2]
To [G]do what [Asus4]you want to do"
And I told him [D]"yeah, I pulled off here
To [G]watch [Gsus2]the sun d[D]isappear
In[G]to [Gsus2]the ocean
[Bm]'Cause it's been [A]years
Since I smelled [G]this salty [Gsus2]sea"[D]
And he turned his bottle [G]up
and [Gsus2]down[D]
He saw me [G]lost and he saw
me [Bm]found[A]
And I said "I don't [G]know what I've
Been lookin' for, maybe [D]me"[Gsus2][D][Gsus2]
[G][Em][Asus4]
[Em][C]
[G][D][Gsus2]
I said "it's kind [D]of late
[Gsus2]Better be heading down
the inter[D]state
[Gsus2]Can I give you a lift
To San Fran[Asus4]cisco bay[D]?"
He said "nope, [Gsus2]I think I'm j[G]ust
Going to sit here [Gsus2]and rest[D]
And maybe [G]wait on the
Tokyo-Montana express
[Gsus2]express[D]
[Gsus2]I might just lay here
[D]And [Asus4]dream my life away
I'm going [D]to sit right here,
I'm going [G]to watch the sun
[Gsus2][D]
Disappear [G]in to the [Bm]ocean
'cause it's been [A]years,
[G]it's been years
I'm [Gsus2]gonna tur[D]n my bottle up and dow[G]n
You [D]can see my lost
And you [G]can see my [Bm]found"
[A][Asus4][G]
[D][Gsus2]
[G]I met him on the cliffs
Of twin [D]rocks, Oregon
He was sitting on his [Gsus2]bedroll looking
Just like [D]Richard [Gsus2]Brautigan[D]

[Outro 1]
Just like [Gsus2]him[G][Gsus2]
[D][Gsus2][D][Gsus2]
