[Verse 1]

                    A
Yeah, why don't you drive me
                            E
Down that rough and twisted road?
              A
Why don't you guide me?
                                 E
'Cause I don't know which way to go
           A
Promise to take me
                         E
Yeah, to where the water glows
                             A
Somewhere, somewhere down to Puerto Rico
                             E
Where the tide just ebbs and flows

[Chorus]

Bm
  Flash me all your jewelry
G
 Poetry and friends
Bm
  Promise me a dance like Nijinsky
G                 A
Nothing, nothing, nothing but a
         E     A E A
false pretense

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

              A
Yeah, all you feed me
                         E
Was just rancid ricе and bones
                A
All I drank was muddy water
               E
As lonely as a saxophonе
              A
Why don't you take me
                 E
To where I wanna go?
   A
To Natchez, Mississippi
           E
Sicily and Rome

[Chorus]

Bm
  You just took me to a flyblown town
G
 In the back of nowhere
Bm
  Smell was acrid and toxic
G
 Couldn't breathe the air
Bm
  The only club was called Conspiracy
G
 They didn't like me much
Bm
  What they wanted was tyranny
    G
And all that crazy,
A                E     A
crazy, f**ked up stuff

[Instrumental]

Yeah, why don't you take me
          A                 E
Down this rough and twisted road?
   A               E
Yes, why don't you teach me
         A         E
Teach me all those foreign tongues?
    A               E
Yeah, why don't you take me?
             A                E
'Cause I'm deaf and blind and dumb

[Outro]

A     E
Yeah, drive me
A     E
Yeah, drive me
              A
Where I wanna go
E
Drive me
        A             E
Take me where I wanna

Take me where I wanna
        A             E
Take me where I wanna go
