Rooming house on Venice beach.


E
It was a rooming house on venice beach

Nice and cheap

A radiator and a sagging bed

On which to sleep
A
I didn't lock it

Who would want my cheap guitar
        E
And that T-shirt in those paper bags

Naw, naw.


   B                 A
The ancient world was in my reach
       E                B
From my rooming house on venice beach.


E
It was rough rough rough

With ancient rustic hippie stuff

It was cheap cheap cheap

Nowadays I hear that rents are steep
      A
It was eerie, eerie, eerie

Followers of Watts and Leary
E
You could walk walk walk

To Marina Del Rey by the dock


   B                 A
The ancient world was in my reach
       E                B
From my rooming house on venice beach.

E
It was a rooming house on Venice Beach

About half a block

To the ancient sea which I could reach

With half a walk
A
The ancient weird guy in his toga

Staff in hand
E
The ancient bearded guy doing yoga

On the sand


   B                 A
The ancient world was in my reach
       E                B
From my rooming house on venice beach.


E
It was cheap cheap cheap

Nowadays I hear that rents are steep

It was rough rough rough

With ancient rustic hippie stuff
A
It was wild wild wild

You're never gonna call it mild
E
Hip hip hip

I could move and not make a second trip


   B                 A
The ancient world was in my reach
       E                B
From my rooming house on venice beach.

E
It was a rooming house on Venice Beach

All screwed up

Half a block from the ancient drunk guys

Passing the cup
A
Half a block from the bearded wierd guys

Singing flat
E
Half a block from the wierdo wierd guys

Passing the hat


   B                 A
The ancient world was in my reach

E
It was a rooming house on Venice Beach

Where I was

Half a block I love that place

Just because
A
Well I didn't want it

Who would want my bag of crap
E
So I never locked the old screen door

I just let it flap


   B                 A
The ancient world was in my reach
       E                B
From my rooming house on venice beach.


E
It was rough rough rough

With ancient rustic hippie stuff

It was eerie, eerie, eerie

Followers of Watts and Leary
A
It was wild and free

And that appealed to me
E
It was hip hip hip

I could move and not make a second trip.

Rooming house on Venice beach.
Rooming house on Venice beach.

It was a rooming house on venice beach
Nice and cheap
A radiator and a sagging bed
On which to sleep
I didn't lock it
Who would want my cheap guitar
And that T-shirt in those paper bags
Naw, naw.
