[Intro]
A F#m D E
[Verse 1]
A F#m
It’s raining in Portland but I’m still glad to be here
D E
I love the northwest and I don’t mind the gray
A F#m
Feels like there’s lots of old hippies like me here
D E
Suits me just fine is what I’ve got to say
C#m D
The world is so crazy and angry and greedy
Bm F#m E
Turn off the TV, turn from the fray
A F#m
I can’t explain it, I can just say that
D E A
it felt great to wake up in Portland today
[Interlude]
A F#m D E
[Verse 2]
A F#m
Life in the folk lane is har dly a highway
D (A) E
It’s more like a bike path with Holiday Inns
A F#m
Once I was 14 and dreaming that someday
D E
I’d travel along it and see where it ends
C#m D
14 could never see 60 too clearly
Bm F#m E
60 sees 14 not fading away
A F#m
Got no dreams to make up, no bones to take up
D E A
Just felt great to wake up in Portland today
[Interlude]

A F#m D E
[Bridge]
Bm F#m E
April gray and white
A E F#m
Cold that can’t convince
Bm A E
Something changed the light
D E
I was standing in
[Verse 3]
A F#m
Hotels and highways can blur in the rearview
D E
till where you are going is where you have been
A F#m
Somehow in Portland there’s something to steer to
D E
something to lift you and usher you in
C#m D
Bridges and pine trees, gray sky and water
Bm F#m E
hushed all the bother, washed it away
A F#m
Something got mended, stirred up and blended
D E A
kindly attended in Portland today.
[Interlude]
A F#m D E
[Outro]
A F#m
Something got mended, stirred up and blended
D E A
kindly attended in Portland today.
