Do You Know The Way To San Jose

Verse 1:

        C               F6
        Do you know the way to San Jose?
        C                 Gsus4            G
        I've been away so long, I may go wrong and lose my way
        C               F6
        Do you know the way to San Jose?
        C                 Gsus4               G
        I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose

Chorus 1:

        Em7        Am7
        L.A. is a great big freeway
        Em7           Am7            Em7
        Put a hundred down and buy a car
        C#m7/5-          Dm7/C                    G/B
        In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
        Dm7              G                         {N.C.; organ fills and
        Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass        bass continue}
        And all the stars that never were
        Are parking cars and pumping gas

Verse 2:

        You can really breathe in San Jose
        They've got a lot of space, there'll be a place where I can stay
        I was born and raised in San Jose
        I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose

Chorus 2:

        Fame and fortune is a magnet
        It can pull you far away from home
        With a dream in your heart you're never alone
        Dreams turn into dust and blow away
        And there you are without a friend
        You pack your car and ride away

Break:

         C                F6                  C
        I've got lots of friends in San Jose (wo wo wo-wo wo wo wo-wo wo wo)
         C              F6                C
        Do you know the way to San Jose? (wo wo wo-wo wo wo wo-wo wo wo)
