INTRO: D G A D
1. VERSE:
D
I used to love the tenderloin
G
Until I made some tender coin
A D
And then I met some ladies from Marin
D
We Took the Highway to the one,
G
Up the coast to catch some sun
A D
That left me with these blisters on my skin
D
Don't know what I was on,
G
But I think it grows in Oregon,
A D
So I kept on goin' going on right through
Bm
I drove into Seattle Rain
A
Fell in love then missed the train
G
That could have took me right back home to you
CHORUS:
D G A D
I've been high, I've been low, I've been yes and I've been oh hell no!
D G
I've been rock'n roll and disco,
A D
Won't you save me San Francisco?
2. VERSE
D
Every day so caffeinated
G
I wish they were Golden Gated
A D
Fillmore couldn't feel more miles away
D
So wrap me up return to sender
G
Let's forget this five year bender
A D
Take me to my city by the bay!
D
I never knew all that I had,
G
Now Alcatraz don't sound so bad
A D
At least they have a helluva fine below
Bm
If I could wish upon a star
A
I would hitch a cable car
G
To the place that I can always call my own!
CHORUS:
D G A D
I've been high, I've been low, I've been yes and I've been oh hell no!
D G
I've been rock'n roll and disco,
A D
Won't you save me San Francisco?
D G A D
I've been up, I've been down, I've been so damn lost since you're not around,
D G
I've been reggae and calypso
A D
Won't you save me San Francisco?
BRIDGE:
Em7 G
To tell you the truth
D A
I miss everything, everything
Em7 G
It's a wild, wild beautiful world
D A
But there's a wide eyed girl back there
A
And she means everything, everything,
Chorus:
D G A D
I've been stop, I've been go, I've been yes and I've been oh, hell no!
D G
I've been rock'n and disco,
A D
Won't you save me San Francisco?

A D
Won't you save me San Francisco?
