As recorded by Corb Lund (From the 2022 Album SONGS MY FRIENDS WROTE) [Intro] D G D G D D A [Verse 1]
D        G      D        G
Had me a dream, almost obscene

D             G         A
I never had a dream any finer

D        G     D              G
Had me a taste in the land of waste

        D             G
And the dream that we chased

        A                         D
As we became the big American headliner

       G    D   G A
Oh yeah, uh-huh
[Verse 2]
D              G        D             G
Foamin' at the mouth we up and headed south

D                 G    A
South of the parallel 49er

D        G        D                 G
Had us a dream of Rolling Stone magazine

        D                G
And the girls they don't screamed

     A                         D
We became the big American headliner

       G    D   A
Oh yeah, uh-huh
[Verse 3]
G          D                  G     D
Visions of sold out shows and candy for your nose

   G        D                         A
In America, anything goes, as we were soon to find

   G                   D
It doesn't matter what they place is

G                D
You can act like Oasis

       G                D
Screw 'till yer blue in the faces

           A                         D
When you become the big American headliner

       G    D   A
Oh yeah, uh-huh
[Verse 4]
    G            D
And Leno said he loved our sound

   G                    D
As we were the toast of tinsel town

G                  D               A
Everyone and their dog came 'round to the scene

A
To be seen

   G            D
We did a “guest spot” on Friends

    G                 D
And sang our songs on Letterman

   G                  D
We looked towards the mighty Yen

           A                  N.C.                      D
'Cause the Japanese, Japanese love the big American headliner

       G    D   G A
Oh yeah, uh-huh

D                                      G
Woke up in a hotel room in downtown Saskatoon

D              N.C.                 A
We gotta leave this afternoon for Regina

Yeah, we've got us an opening slot

      D                      G
These warmup gigs they never pay a lot

My patience, nerves and credit is shot

And we can't use their drum riser

A                         D
So we drink their fucking rider

D  G
Oh yeah, uh-huh
