E (guitars like in 1st verse)
Been driving five hundred miles, got five hundred to go, yeah
I got rock'n'roll music on my radio

He says the girls down there are really the most, man

Well I'm a little down under but I'm feeling OK
B
I got a little lost along the way

After the keyboard solo looong improvised guitar solos in
E blues scale over the chorus chord progression (E D A).
After Bruce finds out that his audience is alive, he leads the
band to the third verse:
(6:10)
E
Well I got thrown out of work on the Kokomo
Don't ask me what I'm doing, I don't know
I hope he wasn't joking when he wrote me that letter
Things can't get any worse, they gotta get better
A
I'm a little down under but I'm doing OK
B
Got a little lost along the way
CHORUS 3
