Lyrics

Capo on 2nd fret

[C-g-dmin-g] intro: play 3 times (1 harmonica + 2 guitar)

Well ( c ) everybody here, ( g ) seems to like to laugh

( Dmin ) look at johnny jivin' across ( g ) the floor

He ( c ) can play the fool and ( g ) make a few mistakes

( Dmin ) but all the same he'll never be ( g ) a bore

I'm ( c ) glad to be so young ( g ) talkin' with my tongue

[D min] glad to be so careless in ( g ) my way

( C ) glad to take a chance ( g ) and play against the odds

[D min] glad to be so crazy in ( g ) my day

Well ( c ) I'm goin' [c/b] down to [a min] laurel

( G ) it's a dirty stinkin' town ( am ) yea

( F ) but me I know ( g ) exactly what I'm going to ( am ) find

[C-g-a min] [d min] little girl [e min] I'm goin' to see

( Am ) she is a fool for ( c ) lovin' me

( F ) but she's in love ( g ) and love's a funny state of ( c ) mind

Yes it is (on second chorus)

Well ( c ) what was that you said ( g ) when you had a tear

[D min]rolling down your cheek the ( g ) other night

( C ) I couldn't catch it all ( g ) there's something going wrong

[D min]i hope you got it straightened out ( g ) alright

( C ) everything's so loud ( g )and everything's so fast

[D min]i here your brother married once ( g )again

Yea ( c ) best of luck and all and ( g ) try to have some fun

[D min]they tell me this great life can always ( g ) end

Chorus

Harmonica theme again: [c-g-d min-g]

I'm ( c ) smilin' from a car, I'm ( g ) goin' for a drive

[D min]feel the whistle blowin' breeze gone ( g )flying by

( C ) mirror's on the moon, ( g ) echo in the sun

[D min] see just a touch of madness ( g )in my eye

( C )please don't mention rain, ( g ) please don't talk of trains

[D min]please don't mention buildings burning ( g )down

( C )everybody here seems ( g ) to like to laugh

[D min] either step in time or just don't hang ( g ) around

Chorus

Harmonica theme again: [c-g-d min-g]
