    I was thinkin' of you when the rice birds flew
               C                    F      C     C
    When the false dawn came with morning dew
                G                        C    F    F
    You're a thunderstorm ragin' outside my garage
                 C                             F     C    C
    You're the white shirt peekin' through my camouflage

    Tail of the turtle and Bayou Tech
        G                 C       F    F

    To some sweet memory up in Oberlin

    I was thinkin' of you at the L.A. bar
             C                        F       C   C

               C                      F        C    C
    Dreamin' sweet daydreams wishin' you were here

    Old Houston, Texas or anywhere

    Down the Mississippi River where the gulf wind blows

    I was wishin' you were next to me
