Intro - D

      D                              G
you're gonna send me back to where I came from
      D                              G
Please don't send me back to where I came from
      D                              A
Let me go where the white magnolias grow

D

You're gonna fit me for that orange jumpsuit
Please don't fit me for that orange jumpsuit
Let me ride where the dragonflies glide

                         D                 G
Yeah but you're going to do what you wanna do
          D             A
No matter what I ask of you
                       D
You think you hold the high hand
            G
I've got my doubts
            D               A       D
I come from Chino where the asphalt sprouts

D                                 G
Big bus headed southeast from the courthouse
D                                 G
But I'm not headed southeast from the courthouse
         D                   A
Let some mysterious chunk of space debris
G                     A         
Puncture the roof and set me free

D

And even if I have to go to Claremont
Well I guess I'll just have to go to Claremont
Let me go
Let me lie low


Yeah but you're going to do what you wanna do
No matter what I ask of you
And you send your dark messengers to tempt me
I come from Chino so all your threats are empty
