Standard (EADGBE)

 Travis McGee's still in Cedar Key

 That's what old John MacDonald said.

My rendezvous's so long overdue,

 with all of the things I've sung and I've read.

TF#M hey still apply to me,F#M they all make sense in time.

 (Chorus:)

Now I'm incommunicado.

  Drivin' by myself down the road with a hole in it,

  Songs with no vibrato.

  Takin' the long way home.

Now on the day that John Wayne died,

I found myself on the continental divide.

Tell me where do I go from here?

Think I'll ride in Leadville and have a few beers.

I think of "Red River" or "Liberty Valance"

can't believe the old man's gone.

But now he's incommunicado.

Leavin' such a hole in a world that believed

that a life with such bravado

was takin' the right way home.

So when I finished that last line,

I put the book by itself on the shelf with my heart in it.

Never wastin' time; takin' the right way home.

I know I'm never wastin' time, findin' the right way home.

Still I am incommunicado.

Livin' next door to a leg with a pin in it.

Life with such bravado,

takin' the right way home.

  Tryin' to make it,

  tryin' to fake it,

  tryin' to take it home; (repeat 4 times)

But now I'm incommunicado...
