From: Scott A. Yanoff 
CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE (supposedly published in Guitar Magazine in 1985, but
  			   a few lines were reprinted in Goldmine in 1987. Some
			   lyrics from the video as well)

Bm7  Bm  C#m        B
When the world is a monster
Bm7 Bm   C#m        B
Bad to swallow you whole
E                              B     G# (open B and E strings)
Kick the clay that holds those teeth in
G6                          F# (open B and E strings)
Throw your troubles out the door

Bm7 Bm   C#m         B
If you're needing inspiration
Bm7   C#m             B     B7
Philomath is where I go
E                        B   G#
Lawyer Jeff he knows the lowdown
G6                        F#
He's mighty glad to visit home

E         A        F#      B
I've been there I know the way
Can't get there from here
                         .......F#

{same as other verse}
When your hands are feeling empty
Stick heads jumpin off the ground, 'round
Tris is sure to shirr the deers out
Run away sing my song

B           D                  A   B
Hands down Calechee bound
B           D                  A   B
Landlocked kiss the ground
Dirt of seven continents going round and round
Go on ahead Mr. Citywide hypnotized, suit and tied
Gentlemen, testify
                      .....F#

{same as before}
If your world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Philomath they know the lowdown
Throw your troubles out the door

{ending}   E  E E7 E7 E7------ thanks Rick!]

The first verse progression is actually
  Bm7      E/G#       B

> Bm7  Bm  C#m        B
> When the world is a monster
> Bm7 Bm   C#m        B
> Bad to swallow you whole
> E                              B     G# (open B and E strings)
> Kick the clay that holds those teeth in
> G6                          F# (open B and E strings)
> Throw your troubles out the door

Same progression as first verse again...

> Bm7 Bm   C#m         B
> If you're needing inspiration
> Bm7   C#m             B     B7
> Philomath is where I go
> E                        B   G#
> Lawyer Jeff he knows the lowdown
> G6                        F#
> He's mighty glad to visit home
>
> E         A        F#      B
> I've been there I know the way
> Can't get there from here
>                          .......F#

This should be             .......Bsus4 (open 5 and 6 strings)


> {same as other verse}
> When your hands are feeling empty
> Stick heads jumpin off the ground, 'round
> Tris is sure to shirr the deers out
> Run away sing my song

This should be octave roots as follows:
  B         C#D             E    A   B

> B           D                  A   B
> Hands down Calechee bound
> B           D                  A   B
> Landlocked kiss the ground
> Dirt of seven continents going round and round
> Go on ahead Mr. Citywide hypnotized, suit and tied
> Gentlemen, testify
>                       .....F#
Again, this should be   .....Bsus4

> {same as before}
> If your world is a monster
> Bad to swallow you whole
> Philomath they know the lowdown
> Throw your troubles out the door
>
> {ending}   E  E E7 E7 E7------ thanks Rick!
