A			D
I was never one to compromise 
E			A
Couldn’t fit in at school
A			D
Gonzo by the 7th grade
E			A
I played em all the fool 
E		D/F#	
Well I couldn’t find shoes my size 
A		D
Had to walk ten miles
A		D		
There’s blisters on the backs of my soles
E		A
And an illegal smile


E				D/F#
We’re burning down Las Vegas town 
A			D
Had to sleep by noon
A		D 
Drank my money on a red roulette
E			A
That’s a ride you can’t refuse
E		D/F#
Five hours down with a sunrise frown 
A		D
Lightning in your shoes
A		D
It’s one foot in the ether 
E		A
With the LA County blues

Fill x2 


A			D
They got me on accessory 
E		A
Thirty days in jail 
A			D
One headlight in a Luisville night
E			A
Without a chance of bail 
E			D/F#
Well I’ll be home at derby time
A			D
So please save me a seat 
A			D
Mint juleps on the outfield grass
E			A
The old south tastes so sweet 


E				D/F#
We’re burning down Las Vegas town 
A			D
Had to sleep by noon
A		D 
Drank my money on a red roulette
E			A
That’s a ride you can’t refuse
E		D/F#
Five hours down with a sunrise frown 
A		D
Lightning in your shoes
A		D
It’s one foot in the ether 
E		A
With the LA County blues

A				D
Well you can call Mister Raoul Duke
E			A
I’ll know what you mean 
A			D
Blinded by a quart of rum 
E			A
And a dose of mescaline 
E			D/F#
Mint 400 couldn’t slow me down 
A			D
I kinda like the speed
A			D
With the failure of our generation 
E			A
For a couple bags of weed

We’re burning down Las Vegas town

Five hours down with a sunrise frown

Lightning in your shoes
A		D
It’s one foot in the ether 
E		A
With the LA County blues

A		D
It’s one foot in the ether 
E		
With the LA
