              E                                            Asus2 
Please come to Boston for the springtime 
 
E                                                     Asus2 
I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lots of room 
B                                  Asus2       E 
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk 
C#m                   Bsus Asus2 
By a cafe where I hope to be workin' soon 
E 
Please come to Boston 
            B                  Asus2 E 
She said no, boy you come home to me 
 
E                                          B   E 
Hey ramblin' boy why don't you settle down 
E                  B      E 
Boston ain't your kind of town 
E                                                    Asus2 
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me 
        B                                  Asus2              E 
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee 
 
 
Interlude Chords 
 
E Asus2  E Asus2 E 
 
         C#m                              Bsus 
Now that drifter's world goes round and round 
      Asus2                   E 
And I doubt if it's ever gonna stop 
      C#m                            Bsus 
But of all the dreams I've lost or found 
        Asus2 
And all that I ain't got 
 E                                               B 
I need somebody I can cling to somebody I can sing to 
 
 
Additional Lyrics: 
 
Please come to Denver where the snow falls 
We'll move up into the mountains so high that we can't be found 
Through "I love you" echoes down the canyon 
And we'll lie awake at night 'til they come back around 
 
Please come to L.A., we'll live forever 
The California life alone is just too hard to bear 
We'll live in a house that looks out over the ocean 
And we'll see stars fall from the sky, livin' up on the hill
