Intro

[Verse 1]
D# A# G# D#
Spring without flowers is just as remorseful
D# A# G# D#
As an Autumn denied, the colored leaves fall.
D# A# G# D#
Winter is long, Winter has no snow.
D# A# G# D#
And Summer is painful, when the wind won’t blow.

Welcome to my home no fear of pneumonia

D# A# G# D#
We came here for jobs. Money’s the thing,
D# A# G# D#
but no one told us there was just the Burger King.
D# A# G# D#
Minimum wage, maximum slave,
D# A# G# D#
the beer’s not cheap and I already gave.
D# A# G# D#
I don’t know if Tucson is the gateway to heaven,
D# A# G# D#
but you’re never more than 10 feet from a 7-11.

You don’t have a car? Don’t worry then.

We got a great bus system. Just be home by 10.
D# A# G# D#
Tucson, oh Tucson, what did I do,
D# A# G# D#
so wrong in my life, pause to deserve you
D# A# G# D#
I wanna leave. Maybe next week.
D# A# G# D#
My heart says GO but the rent’s so cheap!
[Chorus 1]
D# A# G# D#
Hawaii’s got surfin. We Got Cactus.
D# A# G# D#
LA’s got Hollywood. We Got Cactus.
