Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Wor[F]ds [C]and[G] mu sic[F]
[C]by Arlo [G]Guthrie
[F][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[F][C]
It [G]ain't so much the boredom
But the fire in her soul
That made her life unbearable
While living in that hole
Of her [C]dark surburban nightmare
'Till she went to see the Dead
And [G]the self esteem she valued
Was immediately spent
And she [D]had no one to turn to
So she just turned off her mind
She's [C]a well adjusted wanderer

[Interlude 1]
But all this stuff takes time
[C][G]
[F][C][G][F][C][G][F][C][G][F]
[C]On the streets

[Verse 3]
[G]of old Wyoming
There's a couple from L.A.
They are post- environmentalists
Looking for to stay
'Till their [C]friends all come to join them
In the quest for air to breathe
And [G]when it gets too crowded
They will just pick up and leave
Like they [D]did in New York City
When the coast seemed quite sublime
It [C]don't take much but money

[Interlude 2]
And money just takes time
[C][G][F]
[C][G][F][C][G][F][C][G][F][C]

[Verse 4]
Mar[G]ie is on the lounge chair
Draped around the pool
Avoiding almost anyone who'd
Desecrate he cool
It's [C]the reason she's attractive
She's already self abused
And her [G]pride won't feel the loneliness
That comes with being used
She's [D]the center of the universe
For which she was designed
[C]Until she wakes up wandering
Why all this stuff takes [G]time
[F][C]

[Interlude 3]
[G][F][C][G][F][C][G][F][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]Bill died of a heart attack
Beating up his wife
Now he's come back as a lesbian
That's looking for his wife
Who is [C]now a psychoanalyst
That likes to work with plants
Ex[G]cept of course on weekends
When she likes to wear the pants
She's a [D]leather goddess minister
Who works with the confined
It [C]don't take much to realize

[Outro 1]
That all this stuff takes time
[G][F][C][G][F][C][G][F][C][G][F][C]
[G][F][C][G][F]
[C][G][F][C][G][F][C][G][F][C][G]
[F][C][G][F][C][G][F][G][F][C][G]
[F][C][G][F][C]
