Neil Young – The Last Trip To Tulsa (Ukulele)

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

C
I heard a siren scream

D
Pulled over to the corner

C                     Asus2
And fell into a dream

Asus2
There were two men eating pennies

C
And three young girls who cried

D
"The West coast is falling,

C                         Asus2
I see rocks in the sky."

E
The preacher took his bible

                   D
He said: "with the congegration running,

           C
Why should I play the fool?"

       Asus2
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
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

E
And she brought along the ring.

        D           C
She got down on her knees

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

       A7
Well I used to be a folk singer

C
Keeping managers alive,

D
When you saw me on a corner

    C                   A7
And told me I was jive.

     A7
So I unlocked your mind, you know

C
To see what I could see.

D
If you guarantee the postage,

     C                      A9
I'll mail you back the key.

       E
Well I woke up in the morning

E
With an arrow through my nose

             D
There was an Indian in the corner

C
Tryin' on my clothes.

Em7    A
Well I used to be asleep you know

C
With blankets on my bed.

D
I stayed there for a while

              C                 Esus4
'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 gave me back my house and car

                          E
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
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
thought that I was gonna scream.

               E
That was on my last trip to Tulsa

E
Just before the snow.

       D
If you ever need a ride there,

        C
Be sure to let me know.

      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
If he helped me swing the axe.

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

C
We've have here,

          D
I've been working on this palm tree

    C                   Asus2
For eighty seven years.'

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

C
We've have here,

D
I've been working on this palm tree

                 C    A7
eighty seven years.'

         E
He said "go get lost"

E
And walked towards his Cadillac.

D                  Dsus4
I chopped down the palm tree

    C                C
And it landed on his back.
