A few notes:
Play around with hammering on/off Fmaj7 the first fret on B when switching between C/G and Fmaj7.
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.
[Intro]
C/G
[Verse 1]
C/G
There's a dance hall there
Fmaj7
Where the sick folks go
C/G
Like the olden days on the Barbary Coast
Fmaj7 C/G
There's a barefoot child playing in the rain
You can sell your wares even if they're hot
Fmaj7 C/G
In the great bazaar or the parking lot
Fmaj7 C/G
Cause it takes a while to know who to blame
Fmaj7
I might have a taste cause the first one's free
C/G
And the checkout girl's got a thing for me
Fmaj7
And they're both as sweet as the day is the long
Dm G
I don't wanna feel stuck, baby
Dm G C/G
I just wanna get drunk before noon
C/G Fmaj7 C/G Fmaj7 Dm G C/G
[Verse 2]
C/G Fmaj7
I don't mind my head when there's room to dream
C/G
Feel like Paul Gauguin painting breadfruit trees
Fmaj7 C/G
In some far off place where I don't belong
C/G Fmaj7
Tried to lose myself in the primitive
C/G
In Yosemite like John Muir did
Fmaj7 C/G
But his eyes were blue and mine are red and raw
C/G Fmaj7
'Cause the modern world is a sight to see
C/G
It's a stimulant, it's pornography
Fmaj7
It takes all my will not to turn it off
Dm G
I don't want you to feel sad, baby
Dm G C/G
I take everything back, I swear I do
[Outro]
F Em G
Cause once all the friends I had
C/G G Am
Have used me up and left
Dm
I bet you hang around
G
I bet you'll hang around awhile
