Chords

[Intro] E G [Verse]
E 
I've got a job, I explore

E
I follow every little whiff

G                                 E
And I want my life to smell like this

E
Find a place, an ancient race,

D
the kind you’d like to gamble with

G                                     E
Where they'd stamp on burning bags of shit.
[Chorus]
C 
Lookin' for a place to happen

C                      E      G
Makin' stops along the way...
[Verse]
E 
Wayward ho, 'way we go

E
It’s a shame to leave this masterpeice,

G                                          E
With its gallery gods and its garbage bag trees 

E
So I'll paint a scene, from memory

D
So I’d know who murdered me,

G                                      E
It's a vain pursuit but it helps me to sleep.
[Chorus]
C 
Lookin' for a place to happen

C                      E                     
Makin' stops along the way...

C 
Lookin' for a place to happen

C                      A    G
Makin' stops along the way...
E G E G C A G E
F       C              D 
Lookin' for a place to happen

F      C               D
Makin' stops along the way...
[Verse]
E 
Jaques Cartier; right this way,

D
I’ll put you're coat up on the bed.

G                                      E
Hey man you got a real bum's eye for clothes

E
And come on in, sit right down.

D
No you’re not the first to show,

G                                    E
we've all been here since, God who knows?
[Chorus]
C 
Lookin' for a place to happen

C                      E
Makin' stops along the way...

C 
Lookin' for a place to happen

C                      E
Makin' stops along the way...
[Outro]
G                            E
  Jaques Cartier, right this... way

G                                 E
  I’ll put you're coat up on the bed

                        G
You’ve got a real bum's eye for clothes

E            G
  Come on in... sit right down
C
