VERSE 1 
 
(D G)
Well I met him on the cliffs at twin rocks oragon 
He was sitting on his bedroll looking just like Richard Brautigan 
I thought he was an old man but he wasn't but 37 
He said he'd been riding trains for 15 years 
And drawing portraits to keep his belly full of beer 
It looked to me like he'd died and missed the plane to Heaven 
But he was a nice old guy for a younger man 
He had a bottle of Mad Dog that he held in his hand 
and waved around a lot to make his point 
and I listend as he told his tales 
of wine and women and county jails 
and we finished off that bottle and smoked a half a joint 


         D                G        
And he said I came here to watch the sun 
         D                G        
disappear into the ocean 
         Bm               A 
cos it's been years since I smelled  
       G            Gsus4       G  
the salty sea 

         D                G        
And he turned his bottle up and down 
         D                G 
And I saw him lost and I saw him found 
         Bm               A 
and he said I don't know what I've been looking for.  
G            Gsys4       G  
Maybe me. 


VERSE 2 
(D G) 

Well I told him I too had been travelling around 
Living out of my van from town to town 
Playing for tips and whatever records I could move 
I said I don't reckon I'll be making it big 
It's hard to get rich off a tour of coffee house gigs 
And he said yeah, but ain't it a blessing to do what you want to do 

 

         D                G        
And I told him yeah I pulled off here to watch the sun 
D           G        
disappear into the ocean 
Bm            A                  
cos it's been years since I smelled  
    G     	Gsus4 G  
the salty sea. 
         D                G        
And he turned his bottle up and down 
         D                G        
And he saw me lost and he saw me found  
Bm            A                  
And he said I don't know what I've been looking for 
    G     	Gsus4 G  
Maybe me. 

VERSE 3 
(D G) 

I said it's getting kinda late 
Better be heading down to the interstate 
Can I give you a lift to San Francisco Bay? 
He said nope, I think I'm just going to sit here and rest 
Maybe wait on the Tokyo-Montana express 
I might just lay here and dream my life away 


 
         D                                 G        
I'm going to sit right here, I'm going to wath the sun 
D           G 
Disappear into the ocean 
Bm             A 
Cos it's been years 
G 
Yeah it's been years 
D                           G 
I'm going to turn my bottle up and down 
D                                G 
you can see me lost and you can see me found.
