From Vic's 1990 album "Little"

[Intro]
Am G
F Am E
Am G
F Am E

[Verse]
Am G F Am E
Well, a-souvenirs on my dusty shelf
Am G F Am E
Well I get out the Tarn-X, and I polish them myself
Am G F Am E
Yes posters are falling, but who needs them at my age
Am G F Am E
Well I’ve learned to smile when all I feel is rage

[Bridge]
Am G E F
So I think I will go to Bakersfield with Gabriel and Paul
Am G E F F
And I will hide behind the garbage can while the holy platitudes fall

[Chorus]
C G
And blow the gates, I am a-coming through
Am D
With my albatrosses and all
Am D
And it's strategy not protocol
Am D
Yes it's strategy not protocol
F F
That brings me here

[Outro]
Am G
F Am E
Am
