[G]I pulled into Naz[Bm]areth,

I just need some [Bm]place
where [C]I can lay my h[G]ead

there's [C]nothin' you can [G]say
It's just ol' [Bm]Luke and Luke's
[C]waitin' on the Judgment [G]Day
Well, Luke, my [Bm]friend,
what a[C]bout young Anna [G]Lee?
He said, "Do me a [Bm]favor, son, won't you
[C]stay and keep Anna Lee [G]company?"

[G]Crazy Chester fol[Bm]lowed me
and he [C]caught me in the [G]fog

if [C]you'll take Jack, my [G]dog"
I said, "Wait a minute, [Bm]Chester,
you know [C]I'm a peaceful [G]man"
