[Intro]
 C*  Am*   x2
[Verse 1]
 C*                                                                      Am*
Hey that's a trip, why don't you wait a little bit for the acid to kick in?
 C*                                                   Am*
Learn to love, that'll come down it'll spread you so thin.
 C*                                                                   Am*
Go and take the millions, take the dirty hats and stick them up your ass.
 C*                                                                   Am*
I'll take the cheap seats, for my company don't come served inside a glass.
[Chorus]
FOld man and the Dmsea, 
(Stop)                   C*
Doin' what you were born to.
FShrapnel in my Dmknee,
(Stop)                        C*
I can't walk and I don't care to.
[Verse 2]
 C*                                                      Am*
I met a strange bird. Her legs, they were skinny like a child.
 C*                                            Am*
She roamed this land. Strong willed, free and wild.
 C*
All the notables in their spine wives
                                        Am*
Three hipsters, two merchants, and Kon-Tiki.
 C*
They saw the black down off in the midnight skies.
                                                                 Am*
Man, you should've seen 'em they were so down in the dumps that evening.
[Chorus]
FOld man and the Dmsea, 
(Stop)                   C*
Doin' what you were born to.
FShrapnel in my Dmknee,
(Stop)                        C*
I can't walk and I don't care to.
[Outro]
FI'd do it all for Dmyou,
(Stop)             C*
but I do it for no one.
FI'd sing a song for Dmyou,
(Stop)
but I sing for no one.
