[Verse 1]
I Dmaj7moved from Amaj7New York, with Dmaj7my boogie Amaj7board
And Dmaj7bought a big Amaj7house on the Eocean
I Dmaj7stopped eating Amaj7meat, I took the Dmaj7shoes off my Amaj7feet
Dmaj7Just because Amaj7I took the Enotion
My Dmaj7hair gave Amaj7in so my Dmaj7beard came Amaj7out
Dmaj7Caused quite a Amaj7facial Ecommotion
It Dmaj7grew past my Amaj7lips and then it Dmaj7covered my Amaj7mouth
So Dmaj7no one could Amaj7read my Eemotions

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7Sometimes I get Amaj7up but I'm Dmaj7feeling Amaj7down
I Dmaj7don't have a Amaj7sister or Ebrother
No Dmaj7family, no Amaj7wife but I'm still Dmaj7living the Amaj7life
Just Dmaj7step from a Amaj7stone to Eanother
I'm a Dmaj7myth of Amaj7man; I ride the Dmaj7waves when I Amaj7can
I make the Dmaj7music so Amaj7people will Ebuy it
I take Dmaj7pride in my Amaj7ways, and my Dmaj7colossal Amaj7paydays
I'm just an Dmaj7old-fashion Amaj7retailers' Eriot

[Verse 1]

Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7

I moved from New York, with my boogie board

Dmaj7 Amaj7 E

And bought a big house on the ocean

Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7

I stopped eating meat, I took the shoes off my feet

Dmaj7 Amaj7 E

Just because I took the notion

Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7

My hair gave in so my beard came out

Dmaj7 Amaj7 E

Caused quite a facial commotion

Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7

It grew past my lips and then it covered my mouth

Dmaj7 Amaj7 E

So no one could read my emotions

[Verse 2]

Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7

Sometimes I get up but I'm feeling down

Dmaj7 Amaj7 E

I don't have a sister or brother

Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7

No family, no wife but I'm still living the life

Dmaj7 Amaj7 E

Just step from a stone to another

Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7

I'm a myth of man; I ride the waves when I can

Dmaj7 Amaj7 E

I make the music so people will buy it

Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7

I take pride in my ways, and my colossal paydays

Dmaj7 Amaj7 E

I'm just an old-fashion retailers' riot
