Let it be printed
E
Let it be known
Am
I`m leaving you
I`m Going Home
G
And all you can do
F
Is Just watch me go
C
I've put you down
E
I've talked you up
Am
defended your honor
And packed it in and picked it up
G
And all you can do
F
Is Just watch me go
From the eastern seaboard
The land locked midwest
The keys the alps the black hills
and the Budapest
With my heart in a sling
tail between my legs
Swinging
I`m sorry for leavin'

No matter how cruel I've been
Dm G C
LA, you always let me back in
And you can bury me when my body breaks
In the earth that created me
In the Golden State
My mama and her brother
And their Mama too
Cause I had a dream I was carried on backs
Of a thousand green birds
And they carried me to a place without words
And there was nothin' but there was everything
But when the palm trees bow their heads
No matter how wrong I've been
LA, you always let me back in
But when the palm trees bow their heads
No matter how cruel I've been
LA, you always let me back in
F -G
end on C
