C F Am G x2
[verse 1]
C F Am G
Well the soundman never showed, the doorman cracks a whip
C F
The bar tender’s standing in the middle of the street
Am G
With his pants around his neck
F C
We loaded in, couple of hours ago
G
Now we’re standing around, wondering who’ll show
[verse 2]
C F Am G
Somebody famous played here last night
C F
Two under-age kids were found beneath the stage
Am G
There was a pretty nasty fight
F C
When we started out we fought all the time
G
Dumb and afraid, and out of our minds
[chorus]
C Am
But we got up and played, we got up and sang
F G
We plugged in our guitars, we tried to make it rain
C
We got up and played
[verse 3]
C F Am G
I was thinking of you, thought I might give you a call
C F
I went out for a walk, searching in vain
Am G
For some life beyond these walls
F C
Oh the eucalyptus trees were all standing bare
G
Yeah, Cleveland’s kind of sad this time of year
[chorus]
C Am
But we got up and played, we got up and sang
F G
We plugged in our guitars, we tried to make it rain
C
We got up and played
