And I hate a hungry crowd
                            Em
Worst of 'em all, talk the loudest
                      G
I guess I'll die out here
                    Cmaj7
With a hammer and a beer
                   G     G
Just dyin' in the boons

So leave me out of that talk downtown
        Em          G                 Cmaj7 G
I have found everything I'll ever need
 
     Em           G                 Cmaj7 G
Real dee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-eeeeeeeep

[Verse]
  G
I met a girl deep in the city
Cmaj7
      She said she don't mind sittin' with me
Em                           Bm
   I let my troubles float away
                     Cmaj7
I had myself a simple day
                   G
Just dyin' in the boons
 
     G                        Cmaj7
And how I miss the quick-stop line
                      Em
They say hello every time
                       D/F#
No concern for politics
         D                   Cmaj7
Come on home, I'll check for ticks
                       G    G
Love me gently in the boons
 
 
[Break]
     G                      Cmaj7
And why does everyone I know
                       Em
Have somewhere else to go?
                             D
Won't you look up from your hands?
                             Cmaj7
Let's be still while we still can
                          G
Stay a while, out in the boons
 
 
[Chorus]
    Em       G          Cmaj7     G
So leave me out of that talk downtown
        Em          G             Cmaj7  G
I have found everything I'll ever neeee-eed
 
     Em           G                 Cmaj7 G
Real dee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-eeeeeeeep
       Em           G                 Cmaj7 G   G
