            E         A     E
I'm on the hill by Friscio Bay
          B7            A     E
Hawaiian winds blow my past away
                      E            A        E
There's a freighter there that is southern bound
           B7     A        E
I'm on my way out of this town

Chorus:
              E           A        E
There's Alcatraz and the man that has
B7                                           E
Bills love and pills and drink and wine and song
 B7                                   E
Stand in line and fight and wind and roam
B7                                            E
Kids and yard and I'm a man that's tired and gone

There was a time when things were good
We had it better than we ever should
But things got hard and love got old
I got tired and love grew cold
