[A] [D] [A] [E]
[A] Pack up all your dishes, [D] make note of all good wishes
[A] Say goodbye to the landlord for me, [E] that son of bitch has always bored
me
[A] Throw out those L.A. papers, [D] moldy box of vanilla wafers
[A] Adios to all this concrete, [E] gonna get me some dirt road backstreet
If I can [D]just get off of that [E]L.A. Freeway
[A]Without gettin' killed or [D]caught
[A] Down the [A/G#]road in a [F#m]cloud of [F#m/E]smoke
To some [Bm]land that I ain't [E7]bought, bought, bought

[A] Here's to you old skinny Dennis, [D] the only one I think I will miss
[A] I can hear that old bass a-singin', [E] sweet and low like a gift you're
bringin'
[A] Play it for me one more time now, [D] got to give it all we can now
[A] I believe every word you're sayin', [E] keep on, keep on playin'
If I can [D]just get off of that [E]L.A. Freeway
[A]Without gettin' killed or [D]caught

[A] Put the pink slip in the mailbox, [D] leave the key in the old front door
lock
[A] They'll find it likely as not, [E] with all the things that we have forgot
[A] Oh, my lady don't you cry, babe, [D] love's a gift that's truly handmade
[A] We got somethin' to believe in, [E] now don't you think it's time we're
leavin'
