Brooke Fraser - Jack Kerouac

tandard tuning , no capo : )

verse :
F#
he got the droop of a fatherless child
G#m B
almost imperceptible , one can ’ t see it with the naked eye
F#
oh but i can

that cardboard lady in the corner store

her sparkle is all painted on
G#m B
six no – good men took her shine and more
F#
left her youth near sausalito

chorus :
G#m B
oh it ’ s humourless and comical at once
F# C#
always being a stranger wearing the last town ’ s dust
G#m B F#
oh it ’ s humourless , it ’ s humourless

verse :
F#
they look me over , one up and one down

i can tell they ’ re wondering who my people are
G#m B
i say i ’ m new in town
F#
i know it ’ s gonna take a while

chorus :
G#m B
oh it ’ s humourless and comical at once
F# C#
always being a stranger wearing the last town ’ s dust
G#m B F#
oh it ’ s humourless , it ’ s humourless

verse :
F#
i speculate and browse the duraflame

winter in the west coast cool
G# B
out by the sea where no one knows my name
F#
i ’ m on the road like jack kerouac
like jack , jack kerouac
like jack , jack kerouac
like jack , jack kerouac
