Some folks like to get away

Take a holiday from the neighborhood ■

I've seen all the movie stars
         Am    Am7            Gm7        C7 F
In their fancy cars and their limousines ■  ■
                 A7                Dm         Dm7
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens ■

Gm7          Csus4                     C    
Out of touch ■     with the rhythm and blues
Bm7           Esus4  E7     Amaj7    A7  
■   But now I need a little give and take

And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
  F               A7                Dm Dm7       Dm
I ■ don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside ■ 
C                  Am7     Am
■ I don't have any reasons ■ 
Fmaj7  Em       D      Fmaj7
