Katmandu Bob Seger
Play with a rock roll style ala chuck berry. The lead break is the same as the
intro to Johnny Be Good. It's just in a different key. The ending is also just
vamping along the rock n' roll pattern til the fade out.
Katmandu
[E]I THINK I'M GOING TO KAT[A]MANDU,
THAT'S REALLY, REALLY WHERE I'M [E]GOING TO.
IF I EVER GET [B]OUT OF HERE,
[B7]THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.[E]
K-K-K-K-K-KAT[A]MANDU,
I THINK THAT'S WHERE I'M [E]GOING TO.
IF I EVER GET OUT[B] OF HERE,
[B7]I'M GOING TO KATMANDU.[E]
-------------------------------------------------
I GOT NO KICK AGAINST THE [A]WEST COAST
WARNER BROTHERS ARE SUCH [E]GOOD HOSTS.
I RAISE MY WHISKEY GLASS AND [B]GIVE THEM A TOAST,
[B7]I'M SURE THEY KNOW IT'S TRUE.[E]
I GOT NO RAP AGAINST THE [A]SOUTHERN STATES.
EVERY TIME I'VE BEEN THERE [E]IT'S BEEN GREAT.
BUT NOW I'M LEAVING AND I [B]CAN'T BE LATE
[B7]AND TO MYSELF BE TRUE.[E]
-------------------------------------------------
THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO KAT[A]MANDU,
UP TO THE MOUNTAINS WHERE I'M [E]GOING TO,
AND IF I EVER GET [B]OUT OF HERE
[B7]THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.[E]
K - K - K - K - K - KAT[A]MANDU,
THAT'S REALLY, REALLY WHERE I'M [E]GOING TO,
OH, IF I EVER GET [B]OUT OF HERE
[B7]I'M GOING TO KATMANDU.[E]
-------------------------------------------------
I GOT NO QUARREL WITH THE [A]MIDWEST,
THE FOLKS OUT THERE HAVE GIVEN[E] ME THEIR BEST.
I LIVED THERE ALL MY LIFE, I'VE [B]BEEN THIER GUEST,
[B7]I SURE HAVE LOVED IT, TOO.[E]
I'M TIRED OF LOOKING AT THE [A]T.V. NEWS.
I'M TIRED OF DRIVING HARD AND [E]PAYING DUES.
I FIGURE, BABY, I'VE GOT [B]NOTHING TO LOSE,
[B7]I'M TIRED OF BEING BLUE.[E]
-------------------------------------------------
THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO KAT[A]MANDU,
UP TO THE MOUNTAINS WHERE I'M [E]GOING TO,
AND IF I EVER GET [B]OUT OF HERE
[B7]THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.[E]
K - K - K - K - K - KAT[A]MANDU,
TAKE ME, BABY, 'CAUSE I'M [E]GOING WITH YOU.
IF I EVER GET [B]OUT OF HERE
[B7]I'M GOING TO KATMANDU.[E]
---------(LEAD BREAK)-----------------------------
I AIN'T GOT NOTHING 'GAINST THE [A]EAST COAST.
YOU WANT SOME PEOPLE WELL THEY [E]GOT THE MOST.
AND NEW YORK CITY'S LIKE A [B]FRIENDLY GHOST,
[B7]YOU SEEM TO PASS RIGHT THROUGH.[E]
I KNOW I'M GONNA MISS THE [A]U.S.A.,
I GUESS I'LL MISS IT EVERY [E]SINGLE DAY,
BUT NO ONE LOVES ME HERE [B]ANYWAY,
[B7]I KNOW MY PLANE IS DUE.[E]
-------------------------------------------------
THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO [A]KATMANDU,
UP TO THE MOUNTAINS WHERE I'M [E]GOING TO.
IF I EVER GET [B]OUT OF HERE,
[B7]THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.[E]
-------------------------------------------------
K-K-K-K-K-KAT[A]MANDU,
REALLY, REALLY, REALLY [E]GOING TO,
IF I EVER GET OUT[B] OF HERE,
IF I EVER GET OUT[B7] OF HERE,
IF I EVER GET OUT[C7] OF HERE,
[B7]I'M GOING TO KATMANDU[E] [A]
