Heartland feelings

Beck


 C
 Old Man Johnson got his head in his hand
Makin' his way across state in a fiddlin' band
 Am
With his hair all down in his eyes
 C
And the microphone all covered with flies.
When he gets done playin' goes back to his room
Climbs into bed in his cowboy boots
 Am
And he picks up a magazine turns on the TV
 C
 Lights a cigar as he's fallin' asleep.
 FCAm
Well he's only a person...who doesn't know shit.
F C Am(let ring)
Yeah nothing happenin'...that's about it.
 C
 Yeah......
 C
 Well, little Rosanna came from Texarkana
Had fourteen dollars wrapped in a bandana.
 Am
 Came into town not lookin' for much
 C
Well she found a hound dog and she named him "Dutch."
She got a job at the arcade takin' quarters
But she was never too good at takin' orders
 Am
So one night she stopped givin' out change
 C
She kicked the boss in the chin and unplugged the games.
 FCAm
She's only a person...who doesn't know shit.
F C Am(let ring)
Nothin' happenin'...That's about it.
 C
 Ooh, ooh.  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
 C
 Sam got canned at the cannery
He punched out the clock that night.
 Am
His knuckle was bleeding as he walked home,
 C
He was cold and he had a headache.
Well his wife was cookin' canned beans,
He took out all the money out of his jeans
 Am
And he set it on fire in the kitchen sink
 C
As his wife handed him a drink.
 FCAm
He was only a person...who didn't know shit.
F C Am(let ring)
Nothin' happenin'...that's about it.
 C
Uh, yeah, oh.  Wooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...
 C
 Smiley was lookin' for handouts
sleepin' in a abandoned lighthouse.
 Am
 Down at the mini-mall shakin' his hat
 C
 Washin' windows with his bare hand.
He found a sports car with the keys
In the ignition it just seemed so easy.
 Am
He took a joyride drove into a hedge
 C
 Came out with the steering wheel wrapped around his head.
 FCAm
Well he's only a person...who doesn't know shit.
F C Am(let ring)
Nothin' happenin'...that's about it.
 C
 Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah.
 C
 Well Jane was born in a small town
Everybody just standing around.
 Am
They had bingo games and a raffle,
 C
 everybody chewin' tobacco.
Well she grew up kinda restless
All her boyfriends wanted to be dentists(dead-ass?).
 Am
And she got a job at the truck stop
 C
And she got all fast and never did what she wanted
 FCAm
And she's only a person...who doesn't know shit.
F C Am(let ring)
Nothing happenin'...that's about it.
 C
 Yeah, yeah, yo...
Oh yeah...oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
Woo, ooh, ooh....
