Eb                 Ab
Mama was calling, but I couldn't answer
Eb                       Ab
I had a dog in the car, had a dog in my hands
Eb                      Ab           Bb
I was walking with these worn-out shoes
Eb                        Ab
I tripped over Charlie and I hit the grass
Eb                            Ab
I was coming up running, I was coming up fast
        Eb             Ab              Bb
But he beat me, just a-howling at the door
Cm         Ab
Oh Sally, don't get down
       Eb                 Bb
'Cause I been looking all over town
      Eb                 Ab         Eb  Bb
For a brand new set of wings for you
      Eb                 Ab         Eb  Bb
For a brand new set of wings for you

          Eb                    Ab
Well I'm back in the house, bang my head on a wall
          Eb                           Ab
Yeah and Charlie's still laughing about watching me fall
    Eb                      Ab           Bb
I say "Charlie, now what's the big idea?"
     Eb                 Ab
I'm back in my room just packing my bags
          Eb                 Ab
And I'm thinking November, about the time we've had
     Eb           Ab           Bb
Just walking out by a stone wall

(chorus)

     Eb                      Ab
I'm gonna get a ticket, gonna get on a plane
          Eb              Ab
Tell that pilot, take me so far away
          Eb                 Ab               Bb
So I can call you up, say I miss you like a fool
             Eb                            Ab
Yeah but you don't put me down, you don't treat me bad
             Eb                   Ab
Say you understand about this problem I have
       Eb           Ab             Bb
Well sometimes, I know you still wonder

(chorus)

         Eb                        Ab
Yeah got held up in Paris, caught smoking on a train
         Eb                        Ab
If you ain't got your papers gonna get you detained
          Eb                   Ab             Bb
Don't believe me I've got the photographs to prove it
        Eb                          Ab
You should've seen the look on the old man's face
          Eb                   Ab
When the police threatened to haul him away
               Eb                   Ab           Bb
You know he was scared, but it was also kind of funny

(chorus)

             Eb                          Ab
Yeah well I can't sleep at night, can't awake in the day
              Eb                 Ab
And we got these guitars, got so much to say
         Eb        Ab      Bb
But no time, no energy to say it
                    Eb                          Ab
Yeah when you still walk in the park there ain't nobody there
            Eb                        Ab
There's a calm in the trees there's a cool in the air
          Eb             Ab              Bb
And it's boring, but I found it kind of soothing
           Eb                         Ab
Yeah in a couple of months when the leaves turn green
          Eb                     Ab
When the seasons change, when the bird sings
       Eb                 Ab               Bb
Gonna grab you up, gonna take you here for good
               Eb                    Ab
Yes and we'll walk by the river most every single day
           Eb                         Ab
And we'll eat our dinner where the tourists play
                    Eb          Ab                 Bb
You know the city's old but it never seems to get tired
