One Way Ticket Home Phil Ochs

Em         A                D          G

I'd like a one-way ticket home, ticket home

      Em          A           D                  D

Where I can watch television, talk on the telephone

Em                 A                       D

But every town I wander there's a billboard on a throne

         A7

Ticket home

                D

I want a ticket home



Em           A                D              G

Does anybody know my name, or recognize my face

  Em                  A                    D              G

I must have come from somewhere, but I can't recall the place

      Em               A             D              G

they dropped me at the matinee, they left without a trace

Elvis Presley is the king, I was at his crowning

   E                                G          A

My life just flashed before my eyes, I must be drowning



Seems like only yesterday I climbed aboard the plane

Raping distance in the skies, while diving in champagne

I would be in exile now, but everywhere's the same

Ticket home
