Chords for Johnny Nash - Never going back

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Sitting in an empty restaurant, _ _ [F] waiting for my bus to leave.
I've [Bb] been playing my songs at the lonely blues [F] cafe. _ _
_ _ _ _ I was booked three nights to play there.
_ _ No one ever came.
It's [Bb] been six long years, I guess I'm the [F] one to blame.
_ _ _ _ Although [C] I didn't mean to do it, I [Dm] mean to stay away so long.
_ [Bb] Guess I'm never going [C] back to [F] San Antonio. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ They used to crowd the place up, just to hear me play my song.
All [Bb] the girls would holler, and the hotel they [F] would call. _ _ _ _
But things have gotten kind of lonely.
It's not the same as it was [D] then.
Now [Bb] I'm a one man band, _ a ten piece, I [F] used to know. _ _ _ _ _
[C] Oh, I know that things, they've gotta change.
[Dm] Because nothing stays the same.
[Bb] That's why I'm never [C] going back to [F] San Antonio. _ _ _ _
[Bb] No, I'm never _ [C] going back to [F] San Antonio. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ I [C] like Texas, _ [Bb] that's the place where I was [F] _ born.
[Dm] In a little shack [C] back in Anahuac, [Bb] just the south side of [C] Waco. _
I [Dm] _ _ _ [C] like Texas, _ [Bb] that's the place where I [F] was born.
[Bb] But I'm never [C] going _ _ back _ to San [F] Antonio.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Every Friday and Saturday night, _ [C] boys get drunk, start a fight.
[Bb] Breaking windows and chairs, and a few times my [F] guitar.
_ _ _ _ But now the carpet and the _ chandeliers, _ [C] have taken from those good old [Bb] years.
And now it's a place where all the fancy [F] folks go.
_ _ _ _ Oh, [C] I know that things, they've gotta change.
[Dm] Because nothing stays the same.
[Bb] But I'm never going [C] _ back to [F] San Antonio.
No, _ _ _ _ [Bb] I'm never [C] going back to [F] San _ Antonio.
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ I [C] like Texas, _ [Bb] that's the place where I was [F] _ born.
In a little shack [C] back in Anahuac, [Bb] just the south side of [C] Waco.
_ _ _ [Dm] I _ [C] like Texas, _ [Bb] that's the place where I was [F] born.
_ [Bb] But I'm never going [C] _ back _ _ to [F] San Antonio.
[C] _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Bb] No, I'm never _ [C] going back [F] to San Antonio. _ _ _ _
[Bb] No, I'm never [C] going back to [F] San Antonio. _ _ _ _
I [Bb] like Texas, [C] oh yeah, [F] it's the place where I was born. _
But [Bb] I'm never going [C] back to [F] San Antonio. _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] No, no, [C] no, no, I [F] ain't never going back. _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
