Frank Black – Calistan (Guitar)

A               F                         C
I took three days to drive down one street

A           F                      C
The radio on, tuned to the big fleet

A          F                                C
Invisible planes are cracking the concrete

G                       F
That's just what some people say

A          F
Hey hey

A                   F                         C
I put down my blanket on cigarette-butt beach

A           F                      C
I saw the old man, he was doing okay

A          F
He's making his last stand

C                            A
On old bottles and cans

G          F
'Round there, Calistan way

A          F
Hey hey

E               F

Used to be Navajo

Bb            G          A      F    C
Used to be yippy-ay-I-don't-know

A               F                         C
Went in from the weather when I got wheezy

A           F                      C
I play some Pachinko I play Pachisi

A          F                             C
And St. Anne is still making it breezy

G                       F
In the valley of tar that once was L.A.

A          F
Hey hey

 A           F                            C
And my best friend, he's the king of Karaoke

 A              F                     C
He struck up a chord and he took it away

 A          F
Out of the pan

 C          A
And into Japan

 G            F
'Round there, Calistan way

 A    F
Hey hey

E               F
