VERSE I
      C             Am            F                   C          G
Well, Josie walks around like she bought herself some brand new clothes

C             Am    F                C        G
Singin' to herself, swingin' for the sidewalk Joes

          F              Am    F                 Am    G
She got a cousin down in Reno, says the money's comin' fast

         F              Am      F              Am           G
So she's packin' it up, but her momma says it ain't gonna last


CHORUS
F            C
Wait it out, wait it out

F                          C
So tired of hearin' that I gotta slow down

Am                      G
I ain't gonna listen to them tell me how

  F                                    C   Am   F   C   G
I just got to burnin' and I won't stop now


VERSE II
          C           Am          F          C       G
Well, the late-night, broken down army ain't got no wheels

        C             Am  F            C           G
Billy's leanin' on an Eldorado just to see how it feels

             F            Am      F           Am        G
He's got his hands in his pockets janglin' a dollar in change

F               Am             F         Am        G
Leavin' just as soon as he can get a job down in L.A.


CHORUS   C   Am   F   Em


BRIDGE
Em   F               Em      F
Your love's not sure,   your heart needs time

Em   F                 G
Take all you want, but don't take mine


SOLO:  F   C   F   C   Am   G   F


CHORUS
F            C
Wait it out, wait it out

F                          C
So tired of hearin' that I gotta slow down

Am                           G
I ain't gonna listen to them tell me how

  F
I just got to burnin' and I won't stop . . .

F            C
Wait it out, wait it out

F                          C
So tired of hearin' that I gotta slow down

Am                           G
I ain't gonna listen to them tell me how

  F                                    C
I just got to burnin' and I won't stop now


C   Am   F   C   G (repeat and fade)
