Frank Black - Calistan
E|----------------------|
[Verse]
A F C
I took three days to drive down one street
A F C
The radio on, tuned to the big fleet
A F C
Invisible planes are cracking the concrete
G F
That's just what some people say
A F
Hey hey
A F C
I put down my blanket on cigarette-butt beach
A F C
I saw the old man, he was doing okay
A F
He's making his last stand
C A
On old bottles and cans
G F
'Round there, Calistan way
A F
Hey hey
[Chorus]
E F
Used to be sixteen lanes
C B
Used to be Nuevo Spain
Bb G
Used to be Juan Wayne
E F
Used to be Mexico
C B
Used to be Navajo
Bb G A C
Used to be yippy-ay-I-don't-know
[Verse]
A F C
Went in from the weather when I got wheezy
A F C
I play some Pachinko I play Pachisi
A F C
And St. Anne is still making it breezy
G F
In the valley of tar that once was L.A.
A F
Hey hey
And my best friend, he's the king of Karaoke
He struck up a chord and he took it away
Out of the pan
And into Japan
'Round there, Calistan way
Hey hey
[Chorus]
E F
Used to be sixteen lanes
C B
Used to be Juan Wayne
Bb G
Used to Mexicain
E F
Used to be Espano Nuevo
C B
Used to be Navajo
Bb G A C
Used to be yippy-ay-I-don't-know
A C
A C
F G
