F                    Dm
Dean Moriarity don't live here no more
Gm           Am                          Bb
He's off in California and he works in a liquor store
           F                           Dm
Where it's two packs of cigarettes and one half of a pint
Gm              Am                 Bb
He's off to his room on the Mexican side
F                                   Dm
Says he's through with the railroad freight car line
Gm                    Am                  Bb
The fight between the moon and the latern light
F                                  Dm
Says he'm goin cross county but he might come back
Gm                      Am         Bb
But     stickin to  the highway to hell with the tracks
F                 Am          Dm
I can't take what you may give me
Gm          C7     F
I've always wanted more
F                 Am               Dm
My mercury hummin road may put put me
Gm       C7           F
To sleep outside your door
F                                     Dm
He's got a brand new baby she's got a new pair of shoes
Gm                     Am               Bb
He's drivin somebody's car but he don't know whose
F                 Dm
Been up all night but it don't show
       Gm          Am             Bb
He Won twenty-five dollars in the hammer throw
F                            Dm
Three fingered guitar he's a saxophone  that bites
            Gm          An                Bb
Jack's been reading her poetry he's been spillin her wine
    F                                Dm
Her hair's so pretty she smells like Juicy Fruit gum
    Gm             Am                 Bb
Her old man's  the black guy on those congo drums
F                 Am           Dm
I can't take what you may give me
Gm          C7     F
I've always wanted more

Maybe he should call her he just ain't got the dough
Gm      '            Am                    Bb
Maybe he;ll step  on outside and check the radio

It's playing her song man it just ain't his

See a Man like him's got no business with the wife and the kids
         F                           Dm
It's the last of the red wine from a night full of thrill
       Gm           Am                 Bb
It's a coast to the bottom of a Frisco hill
F                           Dm
How can a body begrudge another body a ride
Gm                  Am       Bb
