Write something down in illegible script
E Am
As we're approaching the landing strip
Dm Am 
New Gibson SG, inlaid with pearl
F G A
Tonight Passaic
F G A
tomorrow the world

In a Holiday Inn by a nameless river
Renew the assault on my lungs and my liver
And while I'm waiting for the company man
Slip on my kimono 
that I bought in Japan

A D
Tell the crowd, tell the world
A D
I want everyone to get high
A D
Tell the press, tell the cameras
A D
I want everyone to get high

G A

And the tech crew in Memphis has a present for me
A screen that scrolls lyrics
Like the ones they have on TV
The deluxe model, one of only four thousand made
Black out that night 
in front of ten thousand paid

G F
In the back lounge, in between stops
E AM
Contingency plans in case the new one flops
G# G
Sometimes I wake up coughing up blood
F G A 
Tonight IndianapoliS
F G A
tomorrow the flood

A D
Tell the person next to you
A D
I want everyone to get high
A D
Tell your boss, tell your mother
A D
I want everyone to get high
G
Get high

D A until you get tired
