Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

Go if you want to go

Go, if you want to go

 But I won't follow

Just so you know

Leave, if you want to leave

 But I won't be here

When you come home

 I'm gonna move to San Francisco

Look up some old friends

 I'm gonna get me a navy pea coat

 And an old Mercedes Benz

This old town keeps shrinking

 There's too many people in my junk

 I'm gonna do a lot of drinking

 Cause it don't hurt when I'm drunk

Repeat Chorus

 I'm gonna rent me an old Victorian

Down in the Lower Haight

 I'm gonna get me an old accordion

 And play for the tourists on the golden gate

 I'm gonna plant a little garden

Paint my bathroom blue

 I'm gonna try real hard

 To get over you

Bridge 1

Here in the city, life it don’t move so slow

There's plenty of good people I know

Up in north beach they drink spicy Italian liqueur...

Down on market there's a lot of hobos and hustlers...

Instrumental break

Chords same as chorus

Bridge 2

Down in Hayes Valley, there's a lot of real good restaurants

Deep in the tenderloin, you can have anything you want

Over in the mission it's always a sunny day

There’s a real good baseball town but my team is across the bay

Repeat Chorus

When you come home
