(capo 5)

G
Sometimes I walk and wish LA
        D
Was some small town near Monteray
  C
I close my eyes and ask the Gods
     D
To make those Cadillacs dusty dogs
  C      D        G      C
I close my eyes and live
C                            D               G
I close my eyes and live another day

G
Sometimes I think I'll melt away
       D
And in the sidewalk cracks I'll stay
       C
And who will notice, who will call
           D
Whose life would change much, if at all
C        D        G      C
I close my eyes and live
C                           D                G
I close my eyes and live another day

             C        D
Another day so far
              G                 D        Em
From the farms where I grew up
             C                 D
Another day, another day
             C        D
Another day so far
                G      G/F#   d
From that single pair of eyes
        C
That speak to me of home
       D
Not another night alone
 

harmonica solo (same chords as regular verse)

             C       D
Another day is done
  G        G/F#    Em
I lay my eyes to rest
C                             D
There is food, I got a bed
              C                  D
There's a roof over my head

G
Sometimes I think that everyone
D
Really speaks a foreign tongue
       C
Like I say X and you hear Y
D
But I push these thoughts from my mind
C             D         G     C
And close my eyes and live
  C                          D               G
I close my eyes and live another day

  C      D         G     C
I close my eyes and live
   C                         D               G
I close my eyes and live another day
