Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

[Verse 1]

E
Who's that coming down the road
D               A
A sailor from the sea
D                   F#m
He looks a lot like me
             E         G
I'd know him anywhere, had to stare
E
Feathers at his fingertips
D               A
A halo 'round his spine
D                     F#m
he must have lost his mind
             E         G
he should be put away, right away
C#m
In the corner of the night
D                Bm
he handed me his waterpipe
    F#m                 Bm             E
His eyes were searching deep inside my head
E
Here's what he said


[Chorus]

Am
Sorry I can't stop and talk now
       D
I'm in kind of a hurry anyhow
         C          G             A
But I'll send you a tape from California


[Verse 2]

E                                   D               A
New York city has exploded and it's crashed upon my head
D                F#m
I dove beneath the bed
          E               G
Fighting, biting nails, turning pale
E
The landlord's at my window
D                   A
And the burglar's at my door
D                F#m
I can't take it anymore
              E                 G
I guess I'll have to fly, it's worth a try
C#m
Someone's banging on the wall
D                   Bm
But there's no party to recall
F#m            Bm              E
The singer of the shadows of his soul
E
So he's been told


[Chorus]

Am
Sorry I can't stop and talk now
       D
I'm in kind of a hurry anyhow
         C          G             A
But I'll send you a tape from California


[Bridge 1]

D            C             D            C
From the mirror of my mantle to the velvet on my bed
D              C               Am            E
Trapped upon a stolen stage, a Barrymore at best
A                 G       A               G
My rhymes are all repeating, ballads growing blind
G#m                     A         F#m           B7
Words have turned to water, the women turned to wine


[Verse 3]

E                                      D              A
The draft board is debating if they'd like to take my life
D                 F#m
I'd sooner take a wife
          E
And have raise a child or two
   G
Wouldn't you?
E
Peace has turned to poison
D                   A
The flag has blown a fuse
D                F#m
Even courage is confused
             E                 G
And now all the brave are in the grave
C#m
Century is bending
D                   Bm
have a very happy ending
F#m            Bm              E
To the victor go the ashes of the spoils
E
Seeds in the soil


[Chorus]

Am
Sorry I can't stop and talk now
       D
I'm in kind of a hurry anyhow
         C          G             A
But I'll send you a tape from California


[Verse 4]

E
The flower-power fuller brush man
D               A
is farming out his friends
D                   F#m
I stabbed him with my stem
             E             G
And then I tapped his toes with my rose
E
He crawled around inside himself
D                   A
Now he's crawling after me
D                 F#m
Dropping acid in my tea
         E                       G
He wants to save his soul, rock and roll
C#m
One of us must understand
D                   Bm
It's not the drug that makes the man
F#m            Bm              E
Then a poster of a movie star walked by
E
He must have been high


[Chorus]

Am
Sorry I can't stop and talk now
       D
I'm in kind of a hurry anyhow
         C          G             A
But I'll send you a tape from California


[Bridge 2]

D            C             D            C
Half the world is crazy and the other half is scared
D              C               Am            E
Maddonas do the minuet for the naked millionaires
A                 G       A               G
The anarchists are rising while we're racing for the moon
G#m                     A         F#m           B7
It doesn't take a seer to see that the scene is coming soon


[Verse 5]

E
Who's that coming down the road
D               A
A sailor from the sea
D                   F#m
He looks a lot like me
             E         G
I'd know him anywhere, had to stare
E
A fire around his fingertips
D               A
A song around his spine
D                   F#m
He must have found his mind
          E            G
He should be put away, anyway
C#m
Surrounded by the slaughter
D                   Bm
Now I'm boarding at the border
F#m            Bm              E
When the echoes of my ecstacy appear
E
Wish I was here


[Chorus]

Am
Sorry I can't stop and talk now
       D
I'm in kind of a hurry anyhow
         C          G             A
But I'll send you a tape from California
