The G to A can be played by lifting and applying the A,
or you can replace the G with A7 (doesn't sound as good, IMHO).

GThiAs expedition’s gotten way off course
GAnd Anow you’re asking for a man called horse
And CI don’t Gfit the Abill
GAftAer stepping on a lockjaw nail

[Verse 1]

G A

This expedition’s gotten way off course

G A

And now you’re asking for a man called horse

C G A

And I don’t fit the bill

G A

After stepping on a lockjaw nail

G A

Any remedy is bound to fail

C G A

If you don’t take the pill

[Chorus]

D Dm A

Well, I wish my head had a tap

D Dm A

And I wish my mind had a drain

C G A

So I could shunt my fears away

[Verse 2]

G A

I’m getting ready for a king-sized poke

G A

About as funny as a punchline joke

C G A

I laugh until it hurts

G A

I know you’re hoping for a lead pipe cinch

G A

But I’ve been looking for the right-sized wrench

C G A

To throw into the works

[Chorus]

D Dm A

Well, I wish my head had a tap

D Dm A

And I wish my mind had a drain

C G A

So I could shunt my fears away
