[Verse]
    D
The fly-by-night carnival is closin' down
     D
It's time to get off this merry-go-round
    G
The kids and rubes have left 

the fairgrounds
    D
The rock and roll gypsies gettin' out of town
D
D
Northeastern Oklahoma is callin' my name
D
Gettin' off the grid and the old shell game
G
Gonna transcend like Henry David Thoreau
D
Listen to the Sweetheart Of The Rodeo
D
 
[Chorus]
C                D
So long, City of Angels
    C              D
Goodbye Sunset and Vine
    C               D
I'm leavin' for Oklahoma
   C             D
Adios, Hollywood sign

[Verse]
    D
The Warner's record deal fell apart in LA
    D
The Technicolor life turned battleship grey
     G
It's like I's Daniel in the lion's den
      D
'Cept no spirit appeared to save my skin
D
D
So I'm leavin' here with a girl who shimmies
D
With her black eyeliner 

and her handful of gimme
G
Take a twin reverb with two blown speakers
D
Wear my John Varvatos with Converse sneakers
D
 
[Chorus]
 
C                D
So long, City of Angels
    C              D
Goodbye Sunset and Vine
    C               D
I'm leavin' for Oklahoma
   C             D
Adios, Hollywood sign, 2, 3, 4

N.C.
Gram Parsons was right about the 31st floor
N.C.
The Earth is shakin', can't take it no more
N.C.
So I'm headed due East, hellbent for letter
N.C.
Might even get the band back together
D
 
[Chorus]
 
C                D
So long, City of Angels

Adios, Hollywood sign
