Capo 3

G
I'm spinning like an old turntable
C      Em            D
Three speeds, going nowhere fast
   G
I hesitate at the door to the future
C       Em        D
Holding on to my bittersweet past
Em      D          G
Me and all of the percolators
Em      D          G
Me and all of the rotary phones
Em      D         G
Me and all of my vinyl records
C           Em           Am
Warped and scratched and out of date
C   Em  D G

G
I got friends from the old hometown
C           Em          D
We used to work at the hometown news
G
They got houses in a couple of cities
C          Em            D
I'm still singing those hometown blues
Em      D          G
Me and all of the drive-in movies
Em      D          G
Me and all of the afternoon papers
Em          D         G
Me and the free-form radio
C      Em      Am
Fading in and out of date --
C   Em  D G

G                                            Em
I hear talk about a great depression
             D          G            Em 
I hear the drums of the war machine
            D    G
I wonder if I'm stuck in the past
         Am                 D
Or if it all repeats, just like a CD


G
I'm following the railroad line
C       Em           D
Another job in an - other town
G
I skip around in record time
    C          Em          D
And try not to notice the candle burn down
Em     D           G
Me and all of the Rust Belt workers
Em      D         G
Me and all of the hot type printers
Em      D          G
Me and all of the family farms
C          Em     Am
Auctioned off and out of date --
C   Em  D G

   D        G           Em

D          G
All of my vinyl records
