A Town Called Luckey Cifras

[Intro]
Bbm Gb (10x)
 
[Verse 1]
Gb    Bbm                         Gb
Happy birthday, you're halfway to 60
            Bbm
You have no land of your own, a job you despise
                   Gb
And a lover that's mean
        Bbm                           Gb
And you started noticing a disturbing thing
Bbm                                      Gb
Birds eating other birds just beyond the screen
       Bbm                                                    Gb
So you packed up your things and hopped on the freeway headed east
                  Bbm               Gb
And you drove for eight days aimlessly
 
[Chorus 1]
Gb
Telling yourself to be humble
                          Ab
Singing to yourself to be free
      Gb                                            Ab
Being full aware that it's a middle-age crisis type thing
 
[Verse 2]
        Bbm                                         Gb
And you drove 'til you saw a sign for a town called Luckey
        Bbm       Gb
Spelled L-U-C-K-E-Y
          Bbm                                         Gb
Where the sugar towers rise to line and meet the streets (meet the streets)
               Bbm                       Gb
Checked into a motel, slept on cardboard sheets
                              Gb7           Ab
That covered the bloodstained mattress underneath
            Gb                Gb7            Ab    Bbm
Went to the local bar and you got yourself a drink
 
[Chorus 2]
Ebm                    Ab
Telling yourself to be humble
Db         Ab             Bb
Singing to yourself to be free
       Gb     Eb7 Ab     Fm   Db    F7
It's a middle-age crisis type thing
 
[Interlude]
Bbm Gb (2x)
 
[Verse 3]
Gb         Bbm                            Gb
It was the most ragtag group you had ever seen
          Bbm                                             Gb
A slender man with a moustache on both sides nothing in between
               Bbm                                                     Gb
Looking like a preacher's son who had given into the devil-worshipping scene
         Bbm                             Gb
He was a real looker and he bought you a drink
                                   Ab
And you proceeded to tell him everything
             Gb                          Ab
And you were getting a bit hysterical it seemed
    Gb                                     Ab
You laughed like a carburetor and then you screamed
        Gb                 Ab   Bbm
All the doubt and the disbelief
 
[Chorus 3]
Ebm                    Ab
Telling yourself to be humble
Db         Ab             Bb
Singing to yourself to be free
       Gb     Eb7 Ab     Fm   Db    F7
It's a middle-age crisis type thing
 
[Bridge]
       Bbm                     Gb
And he told you how he came to be
      Bbm                       Gb
As an altar boy by his father's knees
           Bbm              Gb
And how he came to lose his faith
             Bbm                        Gb
There was no touching but advances were made
                              Gb7           Ab
And his father's hand in slow motion it was approaching him
        Gb                        Gb7                           Ab
And the doubt and disbelief crept over his young heart like the black ocean
 
  Gb                             Ab
A stormcloud, a hurricane if you will
  Gb                      Ab Bbm
A stormcloud, a hurricane
 
[Chorus 4]
Ebm                    Ab
Telling yourself to be humble
Db         Ab             Bb
Singing to yourself to be free
       Gb     Eb7 Ab     Fm   Db    F7
It's a middle-age crisis type thing
 
[Outro]
Ebm     Ab    Db        Ab    Bb
Go home late, find yourself happy
            Gb     Eb7 Ab     Fm   Db    F7
It's just a middle-age crisis type thing
       Gb     Eb7 Ab     Fm   Db    F7
It's a middle-age crisis type thing
       Gb     Eb7 Ab     Fm   Db    F7
It's a middle-age crisis type thing
 
      Ebm7        Ab          Db   F7
It's a middle-age crisis type thing
      Ebm7        Ab          Db    F7
It's a middle-age crisis type thing
      Ebm7        Ab          Bbm
It's a middle-age crisis type thing
