  Photographs of the best time you had,

Cm        Eb             Ab 
  Windows smudged by the   speed. 

Cm        Eb            Ab
  Leaving home with our bags from Iron Street,

Cm             Eb          Ab
   As morning turned into California,   

    Bb                     Fm        Ab     
As smoke trailed from the butt of my cigarette.
Eb/G Eb/Bb Eb/C Ab
    Bb                   Fm        Ab       
Our glass house it threw rocks at all those it past.

Cm            Eb          Ab
   to take my turn at the wheel. 

Cm            Eb         Ab
   Climbed up Shasta, oh how the engine ached 

Cm  Eb           Ab
The sun tortured California, 

    Bb                Fm          Ab
And old alleys turned deep at the heart of me.
Eb/G Eb/Bb Eb/C Ab
Bb                 Fm          Ab      
Murals of heroes defacing the blank concrete.
Eb/G Eb/Bb Eb/C Ab Eb/G Eb/Bb Eb/C Ab [B-Section]
Eb/G                Eb              Bb
   Vision tunneled, Mission Street, hunger beat 

Eb/G                 Eb      Bb
   lodged out as the engine wheezed. 

Eb/G               Eb          Bdim           
   Still moving regardless of stable ground 

Ab*                       Bb7*
  and this stable ground.

  Photographs of the best time you had,

Cm         Eb             Ab 
  Windows smudged by the   speed. 

Cm         Eb            Ab
   Leavin' home with our bags from Iron Street,

Cm              Eb          Ab*
    As morning turned into California
