GOOD NIGHT IRENE

Irene Good night,  Irene, good night, good night Irene, good night Irene, I’ll see you in my dreams

Sometimes I live in the city, sometimes I live in the town, sometimes I get the great notion, to jump in the river and drown

Stop your rambling, stop your gambling, stop staying out late at night, Go home to your wife and family, and sit by the fireside bright



 L.A. FREEWAY

  G                        C
Pack up all your dishes, make a note of all good wishes
 G                                   D
Say goodbye to the landlord for me, sons of bitches, they always bore me
 G                             C
Throw out them L.A. papers, a moldy box of vanilla wafers
 G                           D
Adios to all this concrete, I’m gonna get me that dirt road back street

If I can just get off of this LA freeway without getting killed or caught
         G                  Em                  C                 D
I’ll be down the road in a cloud of smoke to a land that I ain’t bought, bought, bought
           C                   D              G                      C       G Em C D G –C G
If  I can just get off of this LA freeway without getting killed or caught


Here’s to you, old skinny Dennis, the only one I think I will miss
I can hear that old bass singing, sweet and low like a gift you’re bringing
Play it for me one more time now, we’ve got to give it all we can now
I hear every word you’re saying, just keep on, keep on playing

Old Suzanne, don’t you cry babe, Love’s a gift, it’s surely hand made
We go something we believe in, Now don’t you think it’s time we’re leaving
You put the pink card in the mailbox, leave the key in the front door lock
Hey, they’ll find it, likely as not, I’m sure there’s something we have forgot



KANSAS CITY

   G                             
I’m going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
                                              G
I’m going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
                  D                           C                   G   D
They’ve got some crazy little women there and I‘m going to get me one.

I’m gonna stand on the corner, twelfth street and vine.
I’m gonna stand on the corner, twelfth street and vine.
With my Kansas City woman and my bottle of Kansas City wine.
 
Well, I might take a plane, I might take a train,
but if I have to walk I’m gonna get there just the same.
Going to Kansas city, Kansas City here I come
They've got some crazy little women there and I'm going to get me one.
