Tony the tripper and me
G G C/G G C/G
And the dude who thought he was my hero

And the mayor of Nowheresville
Am C G G C/G G C/G
And the girl with the wandering eye came a wandering by
D
We was all under the date palm tree
they left the rolling of one up to me
G G C/G G C/G
knowing the world might end tomorrow anyway
(Same Chords)
Back at the burnout chalet
with some brokedown punks and some zeroes
Defending his can of beans
Get these weasels away for chrissakes get these snakes off of me
I said Tony, take it easy
not knowing if he'd cry or punch me
screaming the world might end tomorrow anyway
Cm G
I was just another warm dog on the pile
Cm G
Who could've ditched him in another couple miles
Cm G
But there was nowhere else I really needed to be
Cm G
Tony the tripper and me
(Same as first two verses)
Tony the tripper and me
We jumped the fence and split in Bodega
Haven't seen him in some time
Probably a chance he's in that railroad car in the sky
D
My best friend and worst enemy
The last rattle of old Californee
G
Where the world might end tomorrow anyway
D
We was all under the date palm tree
they left the rolling of one up to me

knowing the world might end tomorrow anyway
