Twin Rocks Oregon Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

//Pick D and G for the verse//

Well I met him on the cliffs at twin rocks oragon

He was sitting on his bedroll looking just like Richard Brautigan

I thought he was an old man but he wasn't but 37

He said he'd been riding trains for 15 years

And drawing portraits to keep his belly full of beer

It looked to me like he'd died and missed the plane to Heaven

But he was a nice old guy for a younger man

He had a bottle of Mad Dog that he held in his hand

and waved around a lot to make his point

and I listend as he told his tales

of wine and women and county jails

and we finished off that bottle and smoked a half a joint

Chorus

And he saDid I came here toG watch the sun

disappearD into the ocean G

cos it's Bmbeen years since AI smelled

the salGty sea Gsus4 G

And he tuDrned his bottle uGp and down

And I sawD him lost and I sGaw him found

and he saBmid I don't know wAhat I've been looking for.

G Gsys4 G

Maybe me.

Verse 2

//Pick D and G for the verse//

Well I told him I too had been travelling around

Living out of my van from town to town

Playing for tips and whatever records I could move

I said I don't reckon I'll be making it big

It's hard to get rich off a tour of coffee house gigs

And he said yeah, but ain't it a blessing to do what you want to do

Chorus

And I tolDd him yeah I pullGed off here to watch the sun

Ddisappear inGto the ocean

Bmcos it's been Ayears since I smelled

the Gsalty sea. Gsus4 G

And he tuDrned his bottle uGp and down

And he saDw me lost and he Gsaw me found

BmAnd he said I Adon't know what I've been looking for

MaybGe me. Gsus4 G

Verse 3

//Pick D and G for the verse//

I said it's getting kinda late

Better be heading down to the interstate

Can I give you a lift to San Francisco Bay?

He said nope, I think I'm just going to sit here and rest

Maybe wait on the Tokyo-Montana express

I might just lay here and dream my life away

Chorus

I'm goingD to sit right here, I'm going to wGath the sun

DDisappear inGto the ocean

BmCos it's been yAears

GYeah it's been years

DI'm going to turn my bottle Gup and down

Dyou can see me lost and you can sGee me found.

Outro
