"From Atlanta, Georgia to a Castle City, too
We are due for a lot, even a little Kalamazoo"
Chorus:
This part is mostly base guitar and trumpets...so I just do a various of power cords
that deriving from the base notes, while singing the chorus. This is not 100% because only the
trumpets go this high. Base only 5-5-3 and 7-7-5 are the base notes, but adding in
makes it easier to sing
with just a guitar, but you can play with it how you want.

Lyrics to Land of the Freak :
Get your hoes 'cause you're loaded and you're loosing your mind
Don't you worry cause we got you a fix
We're gonna take you to the Midnight Mover
Quick with a big bag of tricks
From Atlanta, Georgia to a Castle City, too
We are due for a lot, even a little Kalamazoo
Land of the freak now baby
Only can the strong survive
Land of the freak now baby
Only forty miles to drive
Land of the freak now baby
Tell me what it's gonna be
Yeah, the land of the freak now baby
Only enough for you and me
Ooooooh!
You're hurt 'cause you're lonesome and you're wasting your time
Don't you worry cause we got your back
We going to take you wherever you want
Take a ride in my big Cadillac
From Atlanta, Georgia to a Castle City, too
We are due for a lot, even a little Kalamazoo
Land of the freak now baby
Only can the strong survive
Land of the freak now baby
Only forty miles to drive
Land of the freak now baby
Tell me where it's gonna be
Yeah, the land of the freak now baby
Waiting now for you and me
Oooh!
All right, all right, all right, all right
I wanna give a shout out to the deaf girls
Now come on!
I can't hear ya, I can't you hear you now
Give me something loud; loud and proud
I know you got something more in there
Now show it!
Tell me what you've been waiting...
Ah!
You're hurt 'cause you're lonesome and you're wasting your time
Don't you worry cause we got you a fix
We're gonna take you to the Midnight Mover
Quick with a big bag of tricks
From Atlanta, Georgia to Castle City, too
We gonna do Berlin, even a little Kalamazoo
Land of the freak now baby
Only can the strong survive
Land of the freak now baby
Only forty miles to drive
Land of the freak now baby
Tell me where it's gonna be
Yeah, the land of the freak now baby
Waiting there for you and me
