1970
[C]Straight-laced leather-faced [D]he rolled
In like [C]he owned the two-bit town
[G]town[C][G]
[C]
[Am]Dol lar bills bulging from his
[C]bell-bottomed jeans
jeans
The [D]population [C]they gathered
[G]'round[C][G]
[C]
[Em]Nothing this exciting since a
[D]fertilizer truck
Blew a [C]front tire and landed
in the [D]creek
[Am]Everybody talkin' [C]everybody strainin'
[D]Tryin' to get a little [G]peek[C][G]
Chorus: It's just [Am]the world

[Verse 2]
they'll never [C]know
[D]Not a country fair side [G]show
[Am]Reality they'll somehow never se[D]e
He's what [Am]they've tried to kill
[C]Wit[D]h their bibles and the[G]ir stills
But [Am]he's not weird just a man that's
bein' [D]free
[G][C][G][Am]

[Verse 3]
Payin' for the gas [C]he wickedly
shouted thanks
And con[D]tinued on his journey
[C]all once aga[G]in[C][G]
[Am]Just about the time [C]a siren
fast-approached and
and
The [D]pot bellied [C]sheriff he whizzed
right [G]in[C][G]
[C]
With his [Em]self inflicted grammar
started [D]shoutin'
Accusations at the [C]long haired
greasy looking [D]ape
While a [Am]local d.j. from the fifty
[C]watt station [D]got
The whole damn thing on tape
[G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
Chorus:
It's just [Am]the world they'll never [C]know
[D]Not a country fair side [G]show
[Am]Reality they'll somehow never se[D]e
He's what [Am]they've tried [C]to kill
[D]With their bibles and their still[G]s
But [Am]he's not weird just a man that's

[Interlude 1]
bein' free

[Verse 5]
The [Am]holy roller preacher told the
[C]eager congregation
That the [D]devil had [C]passed right
through their [G]nest[C][G]
[C]But the tee[Am]nage girls
with their [C]locks in curls were
A [D]talkin' 'bout that [C]hair upon
his [G]chest[C][G]
[C]
Now the [Em]kids got their cookies
while the [D]preacher
Saved some souls and the [C]story
spread to everyone in [D]sight
[Am]Com motion was the word
[C]and everybody heard
He was [D]gone before the night
[G][C]

[Verse 6]

Chorus:
It's just the world [Am]they'll never [C]know
[D]Not a country fair [G]side show
[Am]Reality they'll somehow never se[D]e
He's what [Am]they've tried to kill
[C]Wit[D]h their bibles and their stills[G]
[Am]But he's not weird just a man
that's bein' [D]free
