As recorded by Neil Young (From the 1974 Album ON THE BEACH) [Intro] Am [Verse 1]
Am
Well, we live in a trailer at the edge of town

Am
You never see us because we don't come around

       F                                              Am
We got twenty five rifles just to keep the population down

       Dm7
But we need you now and that's why

        Am
I'm hangin' 'round

                  F                          
So you be good to me and I'll be good to you

E7
 And in this land of conditions

    Am
I'm not above suspicion

Am
I won't attack you but I won't back you
[Verse 2]
Am
Well, it's so good to be here asleep on your lawn

Am
Remember your guard dog?

Am
Well, I'm afraid that he's gone

       F                                         Am
It was such a drag to hear him whining all night long

              Dm7
Yes, that was me with the doves setting them free near the factory

         Am
Where you   built your computer love

           F                                  E7
I hope you get the connection because I can't take the rejection

          Am
I won't deceive you, I just don't believe you
[Guitar Solo] Am F Am Dm7 Am F E7 Am [Verse 3]
Am
Well, I'm a barrel of laughs with my carbine on

Am
I keep 'em hopping until my ammunition's gone

        F
But I'm still not happy

                              Am
I feel like there's something wrong

          Dm7
I got the revolution blues

                      Am
I see bloody fountains

Am
And ten million dune buggies coming down the mountains

        F                       E7
Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon is full of famous stars

Am
But I hate them worse than lepers and I'll kill them in their cars
[Outro] Am F Am Dm7 Am F E7 Am
