Subject: CRD: Last American Exit - Hip

Last American Exit - The Tragically Hip
>From THE TRAGICALLY HIP EP, 1987
 
A                          D        Dsus2  Dsus2/E
You know the reasons I can't conceal
                     D                      Dsus2    Dsus2/E
You know I'm leaving you obviously you know how I feel
                    D                     Dsus2    A
It's not as easy as calling out your name when I'm down
Dsus2/E               D             Dsus2  Dsus2/E
It's not a matter for wrong or right
                          D              Dsus2      Dsus2/E
It ain't much better than drinking and looking to fight
D                   Dsus2                          A
You know I'm tired of crawling 'hing my name among the crowd
 
CHORUS:
           D             A
I'm on the last american exit to the northland
           D             A
I'm on the last american exit to my homeland
           D             A
I'm on the last american exit to my last chance
          G           Gmaj9  D                 A
They keep calling out my     name - I shout it down
 
You've made them wonder and know for sure
you've made them hunger at night and then run for the door
you know you'll probably cry like caesar's son when you're found
 
It's not your place it's another town
let's face it baby I'm up and then baby I'm down
You'll watch the border offer you fame and watch you drown
 
CHORUS
 
D                        Dsus2             Dsus2/E
Know your neighbours and know they'll take us
D                      Dsus2       Dsus2/E
Know my city it's just like theirs are
D                         Dsus2             A
Hope I make it I know I'm gonna make it somehow
 
Know my saviour he knows you shakers
Know my pity I'll see you later
I'd like to stay but I know it doesn't matter somehow
 
They keep callin out my name
they keep callin out my name
they keep callin out my name
I shout it down
