Fmaj7
Sometimes when I'm down on my luck, feelin' dizzy
   Cmaj7
My mind reels back to those days in the city
     Fmaj7
When early in the morning take a trip, it's so
pretty
        Cmaj7
I could never understand why it wasn't so grand

Chorus:
Am                 G
I got a hankerin' for a wind wave
Am                      G
I got it through and through
Am                     G
I got a hankerin' for somethin' home made
Am               G
It's got to be brand new

Early in the morning when the sun comes up
I'm gonna grab a fishin' pole and a sleepin' bag
roll
Head out for the land of the dumb but the pretty
I won't stay long but you never know

Chorus - x2

My mind reels back to those days in the city

Sometimes when I'm down on my luck,  feelin' dizzy

My mind reels back to those days in the city

Sometimes when I'm down on my luck,  feelin' dizzy
   Dm     Am7      Dm        Am7        Dm   Am7
My mind reels back to those days in the city
