[Verse 1]
In 1968, he did [Em]shot
s with the Doors at the Whis[G]key- a- Go- [A]Go[D]
It was on one of those hot
Hollywood summer [Em]nights[G][A]
He [D]says, "Jimmy came [A]in tight [D]leather slacks,
it was [Em]hot as hell
But [G]we were drinking [A]Jack,
his [D]eyes were like quarters
Round, and black when he [Em]stepped
under the stage light[G]s..."[A][D]
"And you know me," he says,
"I had pawned [Em]my only ca[G]mera[A]
[D]I had no way to record these
fleet[Em]ing Kodak m[G]oments[A]
[D]That sprung to life each and
every [Em]Saturday [G]night[A][D]
I was too far gone back then
to [Em]have known it..."

[Verse 2]
[G]He [A]says, [G]"All my [A]heroes
[Bm]were[A] junkies,[G]

To be a [G]junkie in a [A]hospital

[Em]When I took my walk in the [G]Land of [A]Oz[D]
Though a cop did on a purple
[Em]horse one [G]morning[A][D]
He asked me why I was staggering
