[D]I used to love the tenderloin
[G]Until I made some tender coin
[A]And then I met some ladies from [D]Marin
[D]We Took the Highway to the one,
[G]Up the coast to catch some sun
[A]That left me with these blisters[D] on my skin
[D]Don't know what I was on,
But I [G]think it grows in Oregon,
So I [A]kept on goin' going on [D]right through
I [Bm]drove into Seattle Rain
[A]Fell in love then missed the train
That [G]could have took me right back home to you
Chorus
I've been [D]high, I've been [G]low,
I've been [A]yes and I've been [D]oh hell no!
I've been [D]rock'n roll and [G]disco,
Won't you [A]save me San [D]Francisco?
Verse 2
[D]Every day so caffeinated
[G]I wish they were Golden Gated
[A]Fillmore couldn't feel more [D]miles away
[D]So wrap me up return to sender
[G]Let's forget this five year bender
[A]Take me to my city by the ba[D]y!
[D]I never knew all that I had,
[G]Now Alcatraz don't sound so bad
[A]At least they have a helluva[D] fine below
[Bm]If I could wish upon a star
[A]I would hitch a cable car
[G]To the place that I can always call my own!
Chorus
I've been [D]high, I've been [G]low, I've
been [A]yes and I've been [D]oh hell no!

Won't you [A]save me San [D]Francisco?
Bridge
[Em7]To tell you the [G]truth
