Jonathan Goes Country version - Chordpro
[D] Well, a welfare gal and her drunk galoot
And nobody wearing a three piece suit
You [G] meet folks this way you just don't see while [D] flyin
So [A] you take the plane but I'll take the bus this [D] time
[D] Well, welfare gal and her drunkin cuss
And Pepsi cans rolling around the bus
Add [G] newspapers and grit and you've got [D] slime
So [A] you take the plane but I'll take the bus this [D] time
[D] Where it's Salt Lake City everybody off
Salt Lake City everybody off
With [G] Elko Welles and Reno down the [D] line
So [A] you take the plane but I'll take the bus this [D] time
But Jonathan...
[D] You're crazy for taking the bus
Well, I'm crazy, so what's the fuss
[G] Two whole days on that stinking bus
[D] Yes and I sleep fine
So [A] you take the plane, I'll take the bus this [D] time.
Go Donnie, tell 'em.
[D][G][D][A][D]
Look at it this way...
[D] They don't want my name, and I don't want their baggage claim
[G] My guitar is seated right where [D] I'm
So [A] you take the plane but I'll take the bus this [D] time
[D] Well you got the old fat guy in his old tank top
The Wendover casino stop
And [G] then of course Winnemucca and Welles and Ana[D]heim
So [A] you take the plane and I'll take the bus this [D] time.
[D] And it's Salt Lake City everybody off
Salt Lake City everybody off
With [G] Elko Welles and Reno down the [D] line
So [A] you take the plane, I'll take the bus this [D] time
But Jonathan...
[D] You're crazy for taking the bus
Well, I'm crazy, so what's the fuss
[G] Two whole days on that stinking bus
[D] Yeah and I sleep fine
So [A] you take the plane but I'll take the bus this [D] time.

Add newspapers and grit and you've got slime
So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time
Where it's Salt Lake City everybody off
Salt Lake City everybody off
With Elko Welles and Reno down the line
So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time
But Jonathan...
You're crazy for taking the bus
Well, I'm crazy, so what's the fuss
Two whole days on that stinking bus
Yes and I sleep fine
So you take the plane, I'll take the bus this time.
Go Donnie, tell 'em.
Look at it this way...
They don't want my name, and I don't want their baggage claim
My guitar is seated right where I'm
So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time
Well you got the old fat guy in his old tank top
The Wendover casino stop
And then of course Winnemucca and Welles and Anaheim
So you take the plane and I'll take the bus this time.
And it's Salt Lake City everybody off
Salt Lake City everybody off
With Elko Welles and Reno down the line
So you take the plane, I'll take the bus this time
But Jonathan...
You're crazy for taking the bus
Well, I'm crazy, so what's the fuss
Two whole days on that stinking bus
yeah and I sleep fine
So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time.

Well, a welfare gal and her drunk galoot
And nobody wearing a three piece suit
You meet folks this way that I'm gonna talk about that you just don't meet while flyin
So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time
Well, welfare gal and her drunkin cuss
And folks they don't even want on the bus
the mother screaming and the baby cryin'
you're welcome to the plane but I'll take the bus this time
Where it's Salt Lake City everybody off
Salt Lake City everybody off
With Elko Welles and Reno down the line
well you take the plane, I'll take the bus this time
But Jonathan...
You're crazy for taking the bus
Well, I'm crazy, so what's the fuss?
3 whole days though on that stinking bus
Yeah and I even sleep fine
you take the plane, I'll take the bus this time.
look at it from a guitarist's point of view
you see, They don't want my name, and I don't want their baggage claim
My guitar is seated right where I'm
So you take the plane, I'll take the bus this time
the old fat guy in his old tank top
The Wendover casino stop
And Winnemucca and Welles and Anaheim
(those are in Nevada, except for Anaheim)
You take the plane, I'll take the bus this time.
Well, the welfare gal and her drunkin cuss
And pepsi cans rolling around the bus
and newspapers and grit and that makes slime
well you take the plane, I'll take the bus this time
where it's Salt Lake City everybody off
Salt Lake City everybody off
With Elko Welles and Reno down the line
(I've taken this trip many times)
You take the plane, I'll take the bus this time
But Jonathan...
You're crazy for taking the bus
ok, so I'm crazy, so what's the fuss
yeah but look, three whole days on that stinking bus
yeah and I sleep fine
So you take the plane, I'll take the bus this time.
