Biography:
The Hollies are a well-respected British beat and rock and roll band that formed in the early 60s. Initially they had a squeaky-clean image and were famous for their rich vocal harmonies, rivaling those of The Beach Boys. Between 1964 and 1969, only two Hollies songs failed to reach the UK Top 10. Their most famous member was Graham Nash, who left in 1968 to form the folk supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash. Two of the core members, drummer Bobby Elliott and lead guitarist Tony Hicks, still perform with The Hollies into the new millennium.

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: D C-G C-D (3x)
D
Thought I'd take a trip down to the old world
G D
'Cause I heard a lot of things about the North American girls
Em
I was looking for a lady
D C-G C-D C-G
Someone to have my baby
D
So I got me on a 747 Pan America plane
G D
I sat me down next to your all American dame

Said, "I'm going up North", she said, "It's a pity"

Then she told me all about the gold down in Mexico City

G
Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high
D
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
G D
Got off the plane, went to the customs and they gave me a list
G D
Do you carry a gun, take drugs, or are you Communist?
Em
They said my papers were in order

I wasn't staying long, no sir, I'm going South across the border

Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
