RENO
by Jonathan Richman from the album "Jonathan Goes Country"
E
Well a good babysitter can be hard to find
When I got Reno on my little mind
A
Sometimes it drives me wild the way we can't be alone
E
I got to take her somewhere where we can't be phoned
B A E
Reno, Reno, Reno honey, Reno, Reno, Reno
Maybe see Charo, maybe Tom Jones
But I didn't phone ahead so there's no way of knowing
Uh, did I make reservations? Well No
But I don't want to call, I just want to go
Reno, Reno, Reno honey, Reno, Reno, Reno

A
Me and her gonna laugh and laugh
E
Me and her gonna have big fun
F#m B
Just like kids on school vacation down the street we'll run
A Am
And I'd like to tell you more but I got to rush
E C#m
I still love that girl with a school boy crush
A B A E
Reno, Reno, Reno honey, Reno, Reno, Reno
Find a motel with a velvet bed
Where the velvet walls are painted crimson red
Find a little lounge opened night and day
Where the FBI meets the CIA
Reno, Reno, Reno honey, Reno, Reno, Reno
Lonely mountains left and right
And then there's Reno ablaze in light
Lonely hills of Nevada sage
And then there's Reno center stage
That's right Reno, Reno, Reno honey, Reno, Reno, Reno
Me and her gonna laugh and laugh
Me and her gonna have big fun
Call the baby sitter from the hotel room
Tell her we'll be back about the third of June
And I'd like to tell her more but I got to go
Gotta go fight that rain and snow
Reno, Reno, Reno honey, Reno, Reno, Reno
A Am
Well I'd like to tell you more but time is tight
E C#m
The days getting old and here comes the night
A B A E
Reno, Reno, Reno honey, Reno, Reno, Reno
Oh and I still love the girl with a flame that burns
She's playing with the kids and now it's my turn
Reno, Reno, Reno honey, Reno, Reno, Reno
