Tom : C
G Am
Well all my friends treated me so well
G C
You know I'm headed out to that Mission Bell
G Am
Gonna wash my soul, gonna get it clean
C Am G
Heading down the border road called the El Camino
Well I've been oppressed and you know I've been opposed
By a barb wire fence and a murder of crows
I’m leaving all I've loved and all I have seen
Heading down the border road called the El Camino
Heading down the border road called the El Camino
C
Yeah my hearts grown sick,
I've got a shepherds crook as a walking stick
G
And I'm heading on.
C
My hearts gone blue and I've done wrong by you
I don't know what to do
Am C
But I'm moving on, said I'm moving on
One and one is two, two and two is four
I'm walking back and forth
On your cracked tiled kitchen floor
With the orange juice and the sun that shines
It really breaks my heart leaving you behind,
It really breaks my heart leaving you behind
And all my ships have sailed away
The price of this politic,
That there's plenty of time to pray
And plenty of time to waste away.
Well to all my friends, that I've loved the most
You know I'm heading out to that other coast
I'm going to wash my soul, and I'm gonna get it clean
Heading down the border road, called the El Camino,
Heading down the border road, called the El Camino.
