         Am
Well, we live in a trailer at the edge of town 

You never see us 'cause we don't come around. 
        F                                              Am
We got twenty five rifles just to keep the population down. 
        Dm                               Am
But we need you now, and that's why I'm hangin' 'round. 
                  F
So you be good to me and I'll be good to you, 
E                                  Am
And in this land of conditions I'm not above suspicion 

I won't attack you, but I won't back you. 

      
Well, it's so good to be here, asleep on your lawn. 
Remember your guard dog? Well, I'm afraid that he's gone. 
It was such a drag to hear him whining all night long. 
Yes, that was me with the doves, setting them free near the factory 
Where you built your computer, love. 
I hope you get the connection, 'cause I can't take the rejection 
I won't deceive you, I just don't believe you. 

(Solo over verse chords)
      
Well, I'm a barrel of laughs, with my carbine on 
I keep 'em hoppin', till my ammunition's gone. 
But I'm still not happy, I feel like there's something wrong. 
I got the revolution blues, I see bloody fountains, 
And ten million dune buggies comin' down the mountains. 
Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon is full of famous stars, 
But I hate them worse than lepers and I'll kill them in their cars.
