Biography:
James Gang was an American rock band formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1966. Though the band was not a huge commercial success, the fame garnered by guitarist Joe Walsh (who replaced the original guitarist in 1968) has since made the group more notable. After the group split in early 1977, there have been reunion concerts at various times in 1996, 1998, 2001, and 2005–2006.
The founding members of the band were drummer Jim Fox, bassist Tom Kriss, guitarist Ronnie Silverman, keyboardist Phil Giallombardo, and guitarist Glen Schwartz.

[Verse 1]
G D
Sittin' here, thinkin' 'bout the fix I'm in
F C
Ain't no time to write a line, is it ever gonna end?
G D
Spent my whole mornin' at the corner store
F C
Just a-smokin' and a-jokin' with the kid next door
G D
Gettin' aggravated 'cause my mind's gone dead
F C Bb Am D G
Think I'll have a little drink and then just jump right into bed
[Verse 2]
G D
Ridin' down the street in a big ol' Cadillac
F C
Seems to me that yesterday is at least a mile back
G D
Havin' such a good time, havin' so much fun
F C
Just a-dancin' and a-drinkin', probably never get done
G D
Then all at once I hear a ringin' in my ears
F C Bb Am D G
Guess it must've been a dream 'cause I'm still right here
[Chorus]
Em C
Come one day, I'll be leavin' this old country town
Em C D
Come one day, I'll be headin' for the city
F C
Havin' fun and drinkin' some, everything's gonna work out fine
G C D
One day I'll come back again, if I get the time
[Verse 3]
G D
Eatin' maple candy underneath the maple tree
F C
Just a-sittin' in the shade thinkin' what I wanna be
G D
Maybe some day I'll be a movie star
F C
Kissin' pretty girls and drivin' fancy cars
G D
Then everybody's gonna be so proud of me
F C Bb Am D G
Say they knew it all along, just you wait and see
[Instrumental]
