I would **love** to see some Arlo Guthrie songs … Coming into Los Angeles,
Last Train, Darkest Hour, Last to Leave, Cooper’s Lament. Too much a
beginner to have anything to post in exchange but I will, have patience.
«Alice’s Restaurant» is at ftp.nevada.edu.
As for «Coming Into Los Angeles», it starts out something like
Am Am/G D9/F# D9/F#
. . ___ ___ . . ___ ___
/ / / / / / / / / / / /
F F E E7
. ___ . ___ ___ ___ ___
/ / / / / / / / / / / /
Where the chords are
Am — 0 2 2 1 0
Am/G 3 0 2 2 1 0
D9/F# 2 0 0 2 1 0
F 1 3 3 2 1 1
E 0 2 2 1 0 0
E7 0 2 2 1 3 0
I, too, would love to see music for the songs you mentioned.

Don’t touch my bag if you please mister customs man
There’s a guy with a ticket to Mexico
No he couldn’t look much stranger
Walking in the hall with his things and all
Smiling, said he was the Lone Ranger
CHORUS
NOTE: There is an instrumental after this that I do not have the
TAB for — sorry….
There’s a woman walking on the moving floor
Tripping on the escalator
There’s a man in the line and she’s blowing his mind
Thinking that he’s already made her
CHORUS
Repeat first verse.
