this riff is repeated at the end of every verse and in the chorus

Left my home when I was seventeen
D G
Feet were dirty but my soul was clean
D G
I was looking for a young man's dream
D w/riff
It seemed
[Verse 2]
D G
Found a living up in Illinois
D G
She brought me sorrow and she brought me joy
D G
Treated me just like a rubber toy
D w/riff
Oh boy
[Chorus]
G
Don't take long to fall in love
G D w/riff
Takes a little time to get back where you're from
G
Looking at the world through electric eyes
G Em7 A7
Feel like I died and woke up in paradise
[Verse 3]

Life is over 'fore it all begins
D G
But if you're looking for a way back in

You can say you knew me way back when

Back when

Looking at the world through electric eyes

Feel like I died and woke up in paradise
[Outro]
D G
Left my home when I was seventeen
D G
Feet were dirty but my soul was clean
D G
I was looking for a young man's dream

It seems
