Grateful Dead – Pride Of Cucamonga (Guitar)

A                       E
Out on the edge of an empty highway,

B              E
Howling at the blood on the moon,

    A                 E
Big diesel Mack truck rolling down my way,

B              A                E   A    E
Can't hit that border too soon.

A                     E
Running hard out of Muskrat Flats,

       B             E
It was sixty days or double life,

   A                     E
Hail on my back like a shotgun blast,

  B                      A
High wind chimes in the night.

D                       G        C
Oh, oh the Pride of Cucamonga,

D                           G    C
Oh, oh bitter olives in the sun,

D                    C
Oh, oh I had me some lovin',

      G             A               E    A   E
And I done some time.

A                     E
Since I came down from Oregon, there's a

       B             E
Lesson or two I've learned

   A                     E
By standing in the road alone,

  B                      A
Standing watching the fires burn.

A                     E
The northern sky it stinks with greed,

       B             E
You can smell it heavy for miles around,

   A                     E
Good ole boys in the Greystone Hotel,

  B                      A
Sitting doing that git on down.

D                       G        C
Oh, oh the Pride of Cucamonga,

D                           G    C
Oh, oh silver apples in the sun,

D                    C
Oh, oh I had me some lovin',

  G             A               E    A   E
And I done some time.

A                     E
I see your silver shining town,

       B             E
But I know I can't go there

   A                     E
Your streets run deep with poisoned wine,

  B                      A
Your doorways crawl with fear.

A                     E
So I think I'll drift for ol' where it's at,

       B             E
Where the weed grows green and fine

   A                     E
And wrap myself around a bush of that bright,

  B                      A
Whoa, on Oaxaca vine.

D                       G        C
Yes, it's me, I'm the Pride of Cucamonga,

D                           G    C
I can see golden forests in the sun.

D                    C
Oh, oh I had me some lovin',

                D   A
And I done some time.

      G         D   A
And I done some time.

      G         D   A  G  Bm  E   A   E
And I done some time.
