[Intro]
F      C   F
[Verse 1]
In Delaware when I was younger
I would live the Clife obsceneF  
In the spring I had great hunger
I was Brando, CI was DeanAm  
Blaspheming, booted, blue-jeaned baby boy
Oh, how I made them turn their heads
The townie brownie girls they jumped for joyC  
Begged me, bless them in their C7beds___F  C  F  
[Verse 2]
In Delaware when I was younger
I would row Cupon the lakeF  
In the spring I had great hunger
I was Keats, CI was BlakeAm  
My pimpled pencil pains I’d bring
To frogs who sat entranced
My drift-dreamed ditties I would singC  
The water strider C7dancedF  C  F  
[Verse 3]
In Delaware when I was younger
They thought St. Andrew Chad sufficedF  
But in the spring I had great hunger
I was Buddha, CI was ChristAm  
You wicked wise-men, where’s your wonder?
You Pharisees, someday will pay
See my lightning, hear my thunderC  
I am truth, I know the C7way__F__C  F  
[Outro]
In Delaware when I was younger
