      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    D
Let me go where the white magnolias grow

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              D
Puncture the roof and set me free

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
