  Hello one and all

   Was it you I used to know

C           D       E
  Can't you hear me call

C        D       E
 On this old ham radio

C      D      E
 All I got to say

C       D        E 
  I'm a live and feeling fine

C        D       E
  If you come my way

C         D        E
  You can share my poison wine
[chorus]
Bm7                 Am7
No marigolds in the promised land

          C           G
There's a hole in the ground           

           D
Where they used to grow

Bm7                 Am7
Any man left on the Rio Grande

Is the king of the world

As far as I know
[verse #2]
C          D         E
   I don't want your bread

C          D         E
   I don't need your helping hand

C         D     E
  I can't be no savage

C         D     E
  I can't be no highwayman

C         D         E
  Show me where you are

C         D      E
  You and I will spend this day

C         D     E
  Driving in my car

C              D        E
   Through the ruins of Santa Fe
[chorus]
Bm7                 Am7
No marigolds in the promised land

Am7            Em7
   I'm reading last year's papers

Might as well die

   If you come a round

C         D        E
  No more pain and no regrets

C            D      E
   Watch the sun go brown

C          D      E
   Smoking cobalt cigarettes

C             D       E
   There's no need to hide

C         D          E
   Taking things the easy way

C       D       E
   If I stay in side

C         D        E
  I might live til Saturday
