Verse 1:

C F C G


G          F     C
When I got back into Galveston again,

G             F        C
I shot my wad at Callow's Billiards Bar and Inn

   F       C
And I get a slow gin fizz

   F           G
I am him, boy, who's your friend?

G            F          C
San Francisco broke me down and wrecked my head.

G            F         C
Guess I wasn't much cut out just like they said.

   F        C
City life just got me sick,

   F           G
Moneyed pricks and seated tricks.

Pre-Chorus:


F             C
Wrote back tex to fill my gas,

F             C
Stocked myself on fancy grass,

      F         G
Eastbound fast and that was that.

Chorus:


       C         F C
Two thousand miles to Galveston.

F     C              F     C
Your old boy done packed his bag and brought it home.

F     C             F     C
Tell that what's-his-name I'd hate to break his nose,

   F    C             F   C
And tell your sister that she's looking mighty grown.

G             F        C
I fell loosely 'cross a street I'd seen before,

G          F        C
Saw the city boarded up your daddy's store

Billy don't live here anymore.

Jackie don't live here anymore.
