Verse 1:

C F6
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
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
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)
