Waylon Jennings – Too Dumb For New York City (Guitar)

       D                                        C  G   D
When I first saw New York city I was green down to the core

                                                C  G  D
You could see my red neck glowing for a mile or maybe more

            A
Between the hustlers and the hookers, I must have made their day

                                                      D
They peeled me like an apple, lawd, and sent me on my way

            G
When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged, it ain't no place to be

                             A
So I came to one conclusion, New York ain't for me

     D
From sea to shining sea and coast to coast

G
Somewhere in the middle is the land I love the most

        A
I ain't California pretty, I can't survive the Great White Way

                                                  D
I'm too dumb for New York city and too ugly for L.A.

        D                                 C    G   D
Well, I made my way to Tinseltown to Hollywood and Vine

                                               C     G   D
Out among those pretty faces I'd surely find a place for mine

    A
The way I walk, the way I talk they'll hang on every word

                                                 D
But don't call me, I'll call you, was all I ever heard

   G
In L.A. what they're thinking ain't what they talk about

                          A
At least in New York City   there's never any doubt.

     D
From sea to shining sea and coast to coast

G
Somewhere in the middle is the land I love the most

        A
I ain't California pretty, I can't survive the Great White Way

                                                  D
I'm too dumb for New York city and too ugly for L.A.

        A                                         D    D
I'm too dumb for New York city and too ugly for L.A.
