Lord Take Me Back to Portland
Ab7 slide A7
I got dung on the left from the cow on my right, A monkey's in my room stealin' everything in sight
My karma's in the toilet, my dharma keeps it there, The woman in the robe, she ain't got no hair
D7 A7 D7 A7
So how did I ever get to Delhi. Whatever was I thinkin' when I left

Lord take me back to Portland And I swear I'll never take another step
That cabbie passed me by for the 15th time tonight, The cheese that waiter served me I think it came to life
I seen so many churches I got Jesus on my brain, They're pissin' in the streets where there ain't no drain
So how did I ever get to Paris, Whatever was I thinkin' when I left
Lord take me back to PortlandAnd I swear I'll never take another step
I haven't had a drink in about a month or so, The sun's so damn hot, my head's about to blow
The camel's stoppin' traffic and he's working for a con, The cop he stole my money just to have some fun
So how did I ever get to Tangier, Whatever was I thinkin' when I left
Lord take me back to Portland, And I swear I'll never take another step
The music's so tinny it makes my ears bleed. So many people at the bus stop I never get a seat
The signs don't make no sense and they're crossin' up my mind. They're made of funky characters - they read 'em from behind
So how did I ever get to Taipei, Whatever was I thinkin' when I left
Lord take me back to Portland, And I swear I'll never take another step

Well I made it back to Portland and I'm lyin' in my bed. Got a hundred eighty channels all racin' through my head
Discovery channel tells me bout the forest in Brazil, Got no money in my pocket but I'm lookin' for a thrill
So how can I ever get to Rio. I'll even work a boat across the sea
What am I doing in Portland, With a big old world at my feet
Now how can I ever get to Rio, I'll even work a boat across the sea
What am I doing in Portland baby, With a big old world at my feet
E7 A7
A big old world at my feet
E7 A7 E7 A7
There's a big old world at your feet
