[Verse 1]
G
   Pack up all your dishes
C
   Make note of all good wishes
G
   Say goodbye to the landlord for me
D
   That son of a bitch has always bored me
G
   Throw out them L.A. papers

   Adios to all this concrete

   Gonna get me some dirt road back street

If I can just get off of this L.A. Freeway
    G                       C
Without gettin' killed or caught
        G
I'll be down the road in a cloud of smoke
        D
To some land I ain't bought bought bought and
 
[Verse 2]
G
   Here's to you old skinny Dennis
C
   The only one I think I will miss
G
   I can hear that old bass singin'
D
   Sweet and low like a gift you're bringin'
G
   Play it for me one more time now
C
   Got to give it all we can now
G
   I believe everything you're sayin'
D
   Just you keep on, keep on playin'

I'll be down the road in a cloud of smoke

To some land I ain't bought bought bought 
 
[Verse 3]
        G
And you   put the pink card in the mailbox
C
   Leave the key in the front door lock
G
   They'll find it likely as not
D
   I'm sure there's somethin' we have forgot
 
[Verse 4]
G
   Oh, Susanna don't you cry, babe
C
   Love's a gift that's surely handmade

   We got somethin' to believe in
D
   Don't you think it's time we're leavin'

To some land I ain't bought bought bought

Without gettin' killed or caught

(I'll be)  down the road in a cloud of smoke

To some land that I ain't bought
