Neil Young – The Last Trip To Tulsa (Guitar Live)

Asus2   A
Well, I used to drive a cab, you know

C
  I heard a siren scream

D
  Pulled over to the corner

C                     A
And fell into a dream

           A
There were two men eating pennies

C
  And three young girls who cried

D
  "The West coast is falling,

C                     A
I see rocks in the sky."

E
The preacher took his bible

       E7
And he laid it on the stool

          D                     Dsus4
He said: "with the congegration running,

           C                Asus2  A  Asus2  A
Why should I play the fool?"

Asus2  A
Well I used to be a woman, you know

C
  I took you for a ride,

D
  I let you fly my airplane

C                       A     Asus2 A
It looked good for your pride.

       A
'cause you're the kind of man you know

C
  Who likes what he says.

D
  I wonder what's it's like

             C       A
To be so far over my head.

          E
Well, the lady made the wedding

        E7
And she brought along the ring.

        D           Dsus4
She got down on her knees

           C                             Asus2  A  Asus2  A
And said: 'let's get on with this thing'.

Asus2  A
Well I used to be a folk singer

        C
Keeping managers alive,

     D
When you saw me on a corner

    C             A
And told me I was jive.

     A
So I unlocked your mind, you know

C
  To see what I could see.

D
  If you guarantee the postage,

     C                 A
I'll mail you back the key.

       E
Well I woke up in the morning

        E7
With an arrow through my nose

             D             Dsus4
There was an Indian in the corner

C
Tryin' on my clothes.

N.C.   A
Well I used to be asleep you know

     C
With blankets on my bed.

D
  I stayed there for a while

             C
'til they discovered I was dead.

A
  The coroner was friendly

  C
I liked him quite a lot.

D
If I hadn't've been a woman

            C                    A
I guess I'd never have been caught.

     E
They called up all my friends and told them

     E7
They had been misled

     D
They gave me back my house and car

    C
And nothing more was said.

           A
Well I was driving down the freeway

        C
When my car ran out of gas.

D
Pulled over to the station

      C                 A  Asus2 A   x4
But I was afraid to ask.

A
The servicemen were yellow

        C
And the gasoline was green.

D
Although I knew I could not

               C                A  Asus2 A   x4
thought that I was gonna scream.

               E
That was on my last trip to Tulsa

E7
Just before the snow.

       D           Dsus4
If you ever need a ride there,

   C
Be sure to let me know.

N.C.  A
I was   chopping down a palm tree

       C
When a friend dropped by to ask

D
  If I would feel less lonely

      C                   Asus2 A Asus2 A
If he helped me swing the axe.

Asus2   A                            C
I said 'no, it's not a case of being   lonely

D
I've been working on this palm tree

    C                   A
For eighty seven years.'

N.C.   A      N.C.                     C
I said   'no, it's not a case of being lonely

D
I've been working on this palm tree

    C                   Asus2 A
For eighty seven years.'

         E
He said "go get lost"

    E7
And walked towards his Cadillac.

D                  Dsus4
I chopped down the palm tree

    C
And it landed on his back.
