Goin Back To Laurel Chords & Lyrics - Steve Forbert

Capo on 2nd fret
play 3 times (1 harmonica + 2 guitar)

[C] [G] [Dm] [G]

Well [C]everybody here, [G]seems to like to laugh
[Dm]Look at Johnny jivin' across [G]the floor
He [C]can play the fool and [G]make a few mistakes,
[Dm]But all the same he'll never be [G]a bore

I'm [C]glad to be so young [G]talkin' with my tongue
[Dm]Glad to be so careless in [G]my way
[C]Glad to take a chance [G]and play against the odds
[Dm]Glad to be so crazy in [G]my day

[CHORUS]
Well [C]I'm goin' down to [Am]Laurel
[G]It's a dirty stinkin' town [Am]yea
[F]But me I know [G]exactly what I'm going to [Am]find
[C] .-[G] .-[Am] .-.[Dm]Little girl [Em]I'm goin' to see
[Am]She is a fool for [C]lovin' me
[F]But she's in love [G]and love's a funny state of [C]mind
Yes it is (on second chorus)

Well [C]what was that you said [G]when you had a tear
[Dm]Rolling down your cheek the [G]other night
[C]I couldn't catch it all [G]there's something going wrong
[Dm]I hope you got it straightened out [G]alright

[C]Everything's so loud [G]and everything's so fast
[Dm]I hear your brother married once [G]again
Yea [C]best of luck and all and [G]try to have some fun
[Dm]They tell me this great life can always [G]end

[CHORUS]
Well [C]I'm goin' down to [Am]Laurel
[G]It's a dirty stinkin' town [Am]yea
[F]But me I know [G]exactly what I'm going to [Am]find
[C] .-[G] .-[Am] .-.[Dm]Little girl [Em]I'm goin' to see
[Am]She is a fool for [C]lovin' me
[F]But she's in love [G]and love's a funny state of [C]mind
[C]Yes it is (on second chorus)
harmonica theme again: [C-G-D min-G]

I'm [C]smilin' from a car, I'm [G]goin' for a drive
[Dm]Feel the whistle blowin' breeze gone [G]flying by
[C]Mirror's on the moon, [G]echo in the sun
[Dm]See just a touch of madness [G]in my eye

[C]Please don't mention rain, [G]please don't talk of trains
[Dm]Please don't mention buildings burning [G]down
[C]Everybody here seems [G]to like to laugh
[Dm]Either step in time or just don't hang [G]around

[CHORUS]
Well [C]I'm goin' down to [Am]Laurel
[G]It's a dirty stinkin' town [Am]yea
[F]But me I know [G]exactly what I'm going to [Am]find
[C] .-[G] .-[Am] .-.[Dm]Little girl [Em]I'm goin' to see
[Am]She is a fool for [C]lovin' me
[F]But she's in love [G]and love's a funny state of [C]mind
[C]Yes it is (on second chorus)
