         G           Am           D
Saw him sittin on a sidewalk in Fresno
         G                  Am
Braided hair and a tye-dyed t-shirt on
G         Am             D
Talkin to himself about Vietnam
           G                   Am
About the tour he did and the deal he got
              G                       A
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me.
            G
If I could be somewhere else,
               A
I'd tell you where I'd be

Chorus:
        D            C           G
I'd be rollin' on a river with Creedence
          D                 A
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
        D            C         G
I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
          E        A
In the spring of '72
        G                   D
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
 G                     D
Watchin' the tide roll in
             C
He said what I wouldn't give
        G/B
just to live those songs
  D
again.

Saw him working the counter at Walgreen's
With a new haircut and a bachelor's degree
Talking to himself about his raw deal
Cursing Uncle Sam and the GI bill
He said, "This world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else,
I'll tell you where I'd be"

Chorus

              G                       A
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me.
            G
If I could be somewhere else,
             A
I'd tell you where I'd be

Chorus
