El Cerrito Place
Charlie Robison

E    A    E    A

Verse One:
E                         A     E                            A
I been hangin' round this place, I been lookin' through your space
E                     A                         E    A
I been waitin' for you, I've been waitin' for you
E                    A   E                       A
All the places you'd go, all the people that you know
E                       A                          E    A
I've been lookin' for you, I've been lookin' for you
E                                A
And all them pretty people up on El Cerrito Place
             E                                   A
They all got somethin' in their pockets, all got somethin' on their face
     E                             A
They roll down to La Brea where it meets the boulevard
E                             A
Singin' hallelujah while they dance over the stars
         A
They all think they're goin' far


Chorus:
             E                               A
Me I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
          E                               A
I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
         E               A               E      A
All night long, all night long, all night long


Verse Two:
         E                                       A
Somebody said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land
             E                                   A
So I've been out here all night lookin' for your footprints in the sand
        E                            A
Did you hear the ocean singing, baby did you sing along
          E                               A
while you danced out in the water to some ol' forgotten song,
         A
Were you even here at all?

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental (like verse two)


Verse Three (like verse two)
          E                      A
Somehow I wound up in the desert just after daylight
          E                             A
Where the Joshua Tree grows that little place you always liked
      E                   A 
These pioneer town people ain't got too much to say
       E                                  A
and if you ever were here baby they ain't givin' you away
A         
Now it's been two days

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental (like verse two but longer)

Verse Four:
             E                            A
I think I'll go back to the city, back to El Cerrito Place
           E                                A
That's the last time that I saw that pretty smile upon your face
          E
I've been lookin' for you baby
