A                               G      Em          A
I thought I saw a diplomat hawking secret plans in the park
     A                                    G      Em        A
I thought I saw my President walking in Harlem late after dark
     A                                        G    Em     A
In a world of love where they burn like Nero
      A                                       G    Em     A
You write 'em a check and you then add zeros
        C                     D
In a world of love where they burn like Nero
        F                     G    
You write 'em a check and you then add zeros

[Chorus]
 G            Em       A
Looking for Lewis and Clark
 
[Verse]
 A                                          G      Em          A
I was standing alone in Mubuhay Gardens(looking for Lewis and Clark)
     A                                     G          Em        A
I was thinking about the late Tim Hardin (looking for Lewis and Clark)
     A                                             G    Em     A
well when Tim gets to heaven I hope he tells Gram
      A                                       G    Em     A
about the Long Ryders and just who I am
        C                     D
Yeh no one gave Tim a reason to believe
        F                     G    
so he just packed his bags to leave
  
[Chorus]
G           Em        A
Looking for Lewis and Clark
G           Em        A
Looking for Lewis and Clark
         G          Em        A
He was looking for Lewis and Clark

[Verse]
 A                              G      Em          A
I thought I saw my government running away with my heart
     A                                  G      Em        A
I thought I heard Mabutu anthems in Johannesburg after dark
     A                                             G    Em     A
you can find them in the yellow pages, baby
      A                                       G    Em     A
that's where you get your kicks back from the Navy

[Chorus]
G           Em        A
Looking for Lewis and Clark
G           Em        A
Looking for Lewis and Clark

He was looking for Lewis and Clark

           Bm              D    A

I said a Louie Louie Lou
