Chords for Dave Graney - Rock n Roll Is Where I Hide

_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ Oh, I should tell you [D] about my power,
_ _ [G] _ About my [D] mysterious kink.
[A] _ [B] I used to go [A] about fully believing I [G] was _ _ [Bm] _ [F#m] invisible.
_ _ _ [C#] The legendary, [B] [D] invisible rock singer cowboy.
_ [G] I would open my [D] mouth and spew forth
_ [A] _ [Bm] No [Em] blues, no [D] news, just
Hey, me, yeah [G] you, over here.
[F#m] _
[F#] _ Just _ for a moment, _ _ I would materialize. _ _ _
_ [F#m] Anyway, _ [B] people started to talk [D] about this [A] legendary, [G] mysterious, loudmouthed, invisible [B] [F#m] rock singer [D] cowboy.
[Bm] I began to cool, [A]
come back, [C#m] _ [G] _ materialize.
Even [F#m] though I wasn't meaning to,
[E] People began to come and [D] see this [A] invisible, [G] loudmouthed, legendary rock singer [D]
cowboy.
_ _ [B] People would sit behind me at [D] cafes and say,
[G] He thinks he's invisible.
[Em]
[F#] Watch, he is not.
I hate to keep him waiting.
I tried my best.
I got quite upset.
Then I thought,
[A] It's not [F#m] such a bad thing to [F#] be seen as a guy who thinks he can't be seen.
Even though I know I can.
It's quite a trip.
I mean, in certain [A] circumstances, [F#m] certain places, [F#] anything goes if you're known.
If you got a name around town as a guy, you'll [F#m] do anything if [C#] nobody's [Bm] looking.
[Em] But if [A] everybody's looking,
If they [G] think he thinks he can't be seen,
I mean, [D] they [A] stare.
_ [E] It's like they think I [D] can't see them.
[A] It's [G] like I'm blind.
It's [F#] like [F#m] I'm invisible.
[Bm] _ _ [E] Everybody's looking.
[D]
Because [A] they think I think [G] nobody's looking.
_ So I cannot [D] be seen, so I'm not looking at them.
I know [Bm] exactly where they are.
_ [E] [D] And even if I was, [A] they couldn't see me because [G] they're too busy waiting for me to [F#] denaturalize right there in front of them.
Excellent.
_ What a place to hide.
I mean, say he was a spy.
An undercover man.
[F#m] Somebody on the run.
[F#] What better place to disappear?
What a cover.
At least they wear the rock and roll band.
[F#m] I mean, you're poor.
_ Yes, you're.
You're a slave to an unnameable half-forgotten ambition.
You're just another guy on the [Bm] lost highway.
You're a [D] rambling man.
You're a pirate [G] of love.
And [D] you're a rider on a range.
[Bm] A seven son of a seven son.
A [F#m] love rustler.
A desperado.
[G] A Boston [Bm] right royal [F#m] historically entitled to be [C#m] [Bm] bad.
The man in white John [D] the Conqueror ruled the world's [G] forgotten boy.
[F#] Meet me, [F#m] Mr.
Bruce.
_ _ [Bm] The velvet fog.
The silver [F#m] fox.
The little cloud that [Bm] cried.
The best dressed [F#m] chicken in town.
_ [C#] _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ [D] Yeah.
_ [A] _ [G] Come on.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] Come _ [A]
on.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
[A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
Come on.
_ [Bm] _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] I'm dropping some fucking [G] science on you, yeah.
_ [F#m] Yeah. _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ [G] _ Yeah, I'm tripping just [D] for the [F#m] scab.
Yeah.
[Bm] Who else, man?
[D] _ Who else, man?
[G] Who else is gonna take [F#m] you here? _
Yeah.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] Oh. _ _
[G] _ Oh. Yeah.
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [D] _ _ Yeah.
[G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ I'm [Bm] out.
_ [A] Hey.
_ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [D] _ Hey.
Jim.
_ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ Leave _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ a yard of _ dust.
