The Man Who Stayed In Monterey Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][F#m][D][Am][D][G][Em]
[A]

[Verse 1]
[D]Dusty
streets stare at me,
looking like a daytime nightmare
[G]I should shave, try to save,
[Gm]something [Bb]of t[Gm]he man th[Am]at's still [A]there
[D]Not much left to say
[A]Of the man who stayed
in [G]Monterey[D]
The stucco stores open doors
Gape across the square in wonder
[G]As this man's trembling hands
Tilt [Gm]the bag his b[Edim]ottles und[A]er
[D]Things are looking great
[A]for the man who stayed
in [G]Monterey[D]
Hon[G]ey darling, [A]sweetheart
precious an[D]gel little [G]dove
The [A]man you left is looking
pretty [D]grim[G]
Hypnotizing [A]paralyzing [D]wine
is my new [G]love
[A]Cause it makes your
memories soft an[D]d dim
Now I walk from the park
Bleary -eyed and droopy -shouldered
[G]Scuffy shoes flopping loose
I [Gm]know I'm [Bb]looking tired
[Edim]and olde[Em]r[A]
[D]One more empty day
[A]For the man who stayed in [D]Monterey[Am]
[D][G][Gm][Edim][D][A]
[G][B][E]
Photographs in my lap
Sparkling colors rush up to me
[A]from the page brown with age
all [C]these [Am]things [D]i keep are
[Bm]truly [E]flowers on the grave
[B]of the man who stayed in
[C#m]monterey[A]
[E]flowers on the grave
[B]of the man who stayed
in [C#m]monterey[A][E]
[E]You
