D G D A D
[Verse]
G D
James Dean died 'neath the tree of heaven
A D
Near the old Jack Ranch Café
G D
Brother Donald Turnupspeed
A D
Must have looked the wrong old way
[Verse]
G D
Oh, that German car was burning
A D
As the hawks took to the air
G D
Forty miles from Paso Robles
A D
In a land called, 'Way Out There'
[Chorus]
G D
In a land called, 'Way out there', my brothers
A D
In a land called, 'Way Out There'
G D
Forty miles from Paso Robles
A D
In a land called, 'Way Out There'
[Verse]
G D
Come look outside my window, mama
A D
Something wicked this way comes
G D
The carnival is breaking ground
A D
With its roustabouts and bums
[Verse]
G D
And the hoochie koochie dancing girls
A D
With sawdust in their hair
G D
And the band played John Phillip Sousa
A D
In a land called, 'Way Out There'
[Chorus]
G D
In a land called, 'Way out there', my brothers
A D
In a land called, 'Way Out There'
G D
And the band played John Phillip Sousa
A D
In a land called, 'Way Out There'
[Instrumental]
D G D A D G D A D
[Verse]
G D
Oh, all we've learned about love and violence
A D
Comes from bibles and movie magazines
G D
But what goes down in the trenches, baby
A D
It's like nothing you've ever seen
[Verse]
G D
People tearing people up
A D
Good god, it makes me scared
G D
Heaven take me beyond all this
A D
To a land called, 'Way Up There'
[Chorus]
G D
In a land called, 'Way out there', my brothers
A D
In a land called, 'Way Out There'
G D
Heaven take me beyond all this
A D
To a land called, 'Way Up There'
[Outro]
