verse 1
Em C
she might be wearing a green chemise
Em C
and a hat that she bought ’cause it matches her jeans
D/F# C
and the water she drinks well it comes from a stream
Em D/F#
by the house she might win in that hospital lottery
Em C
and i might be stumbling and cursing them all
Em C D/F#
when she picks me up from the place that we both call disaster relief
C Em
for the rent must be paid by the first of the month
D/F#
or in my case , 15th

( chorus )

C
this is good as far as i can tell
Em C
it’s still heavy as hell when it’s good
Em
and i do like the road
C
but i’d be better at home
Em
i will pine for the oak streets
C D/F#
and pine for the cedars and you

( bridge )
Em
been around i suppose
C
i have chatted and chewed
Em C
i have lugged my guitar to the nice cafe blues
Em C D/F#
and when i come home i Am coming home to this street and these avenues

( chorus )
C

 this is good but as far as i can tell
Em C
it’s still heavy as hell when it’s good
Em
and i do like the road
C
but i’d be better at home
Em
i will pine for the oak streets
C D/F#
and pine for the cedars and you
