[Verse]
     A                 
Pack up all your dishes
D                             
■ Make note of all good wishes
A                                     
And say goodbye to the landlord for me
E7                                      A 
■  That son of a bitch has always bored me
          A             
Throw out them LA papers
D                              A     
And that mouldy box of vanilla wafers
                  E7      
Adios to all this concrete
                                 A      
Gonna get me some dirt road back streets


[Chorus]
E          D        E     
■ If I can just get off of
A    D A                                   
I'll ■ be down the road in a cloud of smoke
        E                                
To some land I ain't bought bought bought


[Verse]
    A                                   
And it's here's to you old skinny Dennis
D                             A   
■ The only one I think I will miss
                                 E
I can hear that old bass singing ■
                                 E7       A
Sweet and low like a gift you're bringing ■
                                 D
Play it for me one more time now ■
                              A  
Got to give it all you we can now
                                    E
I believe every thing you're saying ■
                            E7     
And just to keep on keep on playing


[Chorus]
A  E       D                    E           
If ■ I can just get off of this ■ LA freeway
A                         D     
Without gettin' killed or caught
     A                                   
I'll be down the road in a cloud of smoke
        E                                
To some land I ain't bought bought bought


[Verse]
        A                        D      
And you put the pink card in the mailbox
                                     A
Leave the key in the front door lock ■
                              E
They'll find it likely as not ■
                                   A     
I'm sure there's somethin' we have forgot
                         D   
Oh Susanna don't you cry baby
                            A       
Love's a gift that's surely handmade
                               E
We got somethin' to believe in ■
                                A      
Don't you think it's time we're leavin'


[Chorus]
E          D               E              
■ If I can just get off of this LA freeway
A                         D     
Without gettin' killed or caught
     A                                   
I'll be down the road in a cloud of smoke
        E                                
To some land I ain't bought bought bought
         D               Esus4 E7        
If I can just get off of this  LA freeway
A                         D     
Without gettin' killed or caught


[Verse]
A                                
Down the road in a cloud of smoke
        E            E7    
To some land I ain't bought
A                         
So pack up all your dishes
D                             
■ Make note of all good wishes
A                                     
And say goodbye to the landlord for me
E               E7        E              
■ That son of a bitch has always bored me
