	Do you know the way to San Jose?
	C                 Gsus4            G
	I've been away so long, I may go wrong and lose my way
	C               F6
	Do you know the way to San Jose?
	C                 Gsus4               G
	I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose

Chorus 1:

	Em7        Am7
	L.A. is a great big freeway
	Em7           Am7            Em7
	Put a hundred down and buy a car
	C#m7-5          Dm7/C                    G/B

	Dm7              G                         [N.C.; organ fills and
	Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass        bass continue]
	And all the stars that never were
	Are parking cars and pumping gas

Verse 2:

	You can really breathe in San Jose
	They've got a lot of space, there'll be a place where I can stay
	I was born and raised in San Jose
	I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose

Chorus 2:

	Fame and fortune is a magnet
	It can pull you far away from home
	With a dream in your heart you're never alone
	Dreams turn into dust and blow away
	And there you are without a friend
	You pack your car and ride away

Break:

	 C                F6                  C
	I've got lots of friends in San Jose (wo wo wo-wo wo wo wo-wo wo wo)
	 C              F6                C
	Do you know the way to San Jose? (wo wo wo-wo wo wo wo-wo wo wo)
