[Verse 1]
 
Am      C      G               G F
Guess I needed sometime to get away
Am             C
I needed some piece of mind
G                          F
Some piece of mind that'll stay
Am    C          G                 F
So I thumbed it down to Sixth and L.A.
Am      C        G            F
Maybe a Greyhound could be my way
 
Am        C
Police and Niggers, that's right
G             F
Get out of my way
Am             C
Don't need to buy none of your
G           F
Gold chains today
Am               C
I don't need no bracelets
G                      F
Clamped in front of my back
Am            C
Just need my ticket; 'til then
G                     F
Won't you cut me some slack?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C               G
You're one in a million
D                     A
Yeah, that's what you are
C               G
You're one in a million, babe
D                 A
You're a shooting star
C                   G
Maybe someday we'll see you
D                  A
Before you make us cry
C                    G
You know we tried to reach you
D                     E D A
But you were much too high
             E D A              E D A
Much too high,     much too high,
             E D A
Much too high,     yes, ow!
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am              C
Immigrants and faggots
G                     F
They make no sense to me
Am                C
They come to our country
G                            F
And think they'll do as they please
Am              C
Like start some mini Iran,
G                      F
Or spread some fuckin' disease
Am                 C
They talk so many goddamn ways
G                 F
It's all Greek to me
Am                C
Well some say I'm lazy
G                          F
And others say that's just me
Am           C
Some say I'm crazy
G                   F
I guess I'll always be
Am                    C
But it's been such a long time
G                       F
Since I knew right from wrong
Am                        C
It's all the means to an end, I
G                F
I keep it movin' along
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C               G
You're one in a million
D                     A
Oo, you're a shooting star
C               G
You're one in a million, babe
D                 A
You know that you are
C                   G
Maybe someday we'll see you, Oo
D                      A
oh, Before you make us cry
C                    G
You know we tried to reach you
D                         E D A
But you were much too high
             E D A                  E D A
Much too high,     Oo, much too high
 
Yeah,
             E D A
Much too high,     huh, no, no, oh
 
Ow!
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
 
Am           C
Radicals and Racists
G                          F
Don't point your finger at me
Am               C
I'm a small town white boy
G                        F
Just tryin' to make ends meet
Am               C
Don't need your religion
G                     F
Don't watch that much T.V.
Am             C
Just makin' my livin', baby
G                      F
Well that's enough for me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C               G
You're one in a million
D                    A
Yeah that's what you are
C               G
You're one in a million, babe
D                 A
You're a shooting star
C                   G
Maybe someday we'll see you
D                  A
Before you make us cry
C                    G
You know we tried to reach you
D                         E D A
But you were much too high
             E D A                 E D A
Much too high,    ow, much too high,
             E D A             E D A
Much too high,    much too high
 
Yeah, yeee, yeah, yeee, igh!
                 E D A
Ow! Much too high
                  E D A
(Oh, much too high,    ah,
             E D A                 E D A
much too high,    ah, much too high
             E D A                 E D A
