West Coast Town

G,     D,C,G,  D,C,G

                         D
I walked home all the way from East Beach
C
With an oil spill sticking to my feet
G
To that little house on salinas Street
C
Throwing rocks in the creek my brothers and me

    G                                  D
Yeah mom held it down on a county wage
C
Clothes on our back some food on our plates
G                               D
Every Saturday night Mariachis played
C
and i listen through the wind to the lowrider sway

G                               D
Yeah I grew up in a West Coast Town
C
back before they chased the working-class out
G                               D                          C
You know we don't fuck around were I grew up
Am         G                      D       C      G      D    C    G
In a west coast town

                                 D
Fourth of July Leadbetter Beach
C
Salt Air digging in my lungs so deep
G                               D
Chase her all night but she couldn't see
C
It was Paradise but I had to leave

G                               D
Yeah I grew up in a West Coast Town
C
back before they chased the working-class out
G                               D                            C
You know we don't fuck around were I grew up
 Am         G                      D    C    G        D    C    G
In a west coast town

            Em         Bm        C                                   G
Now I'm long gone like stop lights on the freeway
         Em                  Bm         C                 D
You can tear me down but I'll ill never change
