Way back when I was just a little bitty boy living in a FbFox under the
stairs in the corner of the basement of thFe Fhouse half a block down the
street from Jerry?s Bait ShFopF? You know the place? Well anyway, back then
life was FgoFing swell and everything was juuuuusFt Fpeachy? except of course
for the undeniablFe Ffact that every single morning my FmFother would make me
a big old bowl of sauerkraut for FbFreakfast. Daaaaaaaouh! BFig Fbowl of
sFauerkFraut!

B---13p10-------|
G--------10-----| F F F F F
D---------------| Every single morning! It was driving me crazy. I said to
A---------------|
E---------------|
my mom, I said, ?Hey mom, what?s up with all the sauFerFkraut?? And my dear
sweet mother she just FlFooked at me like a cow looks at an oncoming traiFn.F
And she leaned right down next to me, and she said, ?It?s gFood FfoFr yFou!?
B B B BAnd then she tFied me to Fthe wall Fand stuFck a fBunnel iBn my moutBh
and fBorce-fed Fme nFothFing Fbut saBuerkrauBt until I Bwas twentBy-six and Fa hFalf
years old. That?s when I swore that FsoFmeday, someday I would get out of
that basement and tFraFvel to a magical far away place where the Fsun is
always shining and the aBir smells like warm root beer Fand the towels are
oh so fluffyB, where the sFhriners and the lepers play their uBkulele?s all
day long and aFnyone on the street?ll gladly sBhave you?re back for a
nFickel. WBakaBwakadBooBdoo Fyah! Well let me tell you people, that it wasn?t
long at all before my FdFream came true because the very next day Fa Flocal
radio station had this contest to see who could FcoFrrectly guess the number
of molecules in LeonarFd FNeroy?s butt. I was off by three but I still FwFon
the grand prize. That?s right Fa Ffirst class one-way ticket, to
FA Fm7 B- Bm7lbuFquerque, B FA F Fm7- B Bm7lbuFquerque! BAh yah, you know I never
been on a real airplane before and I FgFotta tell ya it was really great.
FExFcept that I had to ist between two large AlbaniaFn Fwomen with
excruciatingly severe body odour and the FlFittle kid in back of me kept
throwing up the whole timeF. FThe flight attendants ran out of Dr. Pepper
and salted peanutFs Fand the in flight movie was "Biodome" with Polly ShoFreF.
And oh yah three of the airplane's engines burned down and we Fwent into a
tailspin and Bcrashed into a hillside and the plFane exploded in a giant
fBireball and evFerybody died! Except for me. You know why? ?Cause I hFad my
train table upB, and my Fseat back in the full uprBight position, had my
tFrain table upB, and my sFeat back in the full uprigBht position, had my
tFrain table up, Band my sFeat back in the full upriBght position. Ah ha ha
ha! Oh ha ha! Ahhhh. So I FcFrawled from the twisted burnin? wreckage, IF F
crawled on my hands and knees for three full dayFs, Fdragging along my big
lFeather suitcase, and my gaBrment bag, and my tFenor saxophone, and my
tBwelve-pound bowling ball and my lFucky lucky autographed gBlow in the dark
snorkelF. But finally a arrived at the world famous ?BAlbBuquerque BHoliBday
IFnn?, where the towels are oh so fluffy, and you couFld Feat you?re soup
right out of the ashtrays if you wanFnaF, it?s OK their clean. Well I
cFhecked into my room and I turned dBown the AC and I turned on the speFctro
vision Band I was just about to eat that little cFhocolate mint on my pillow
that I lBove so very very much when sudFdenly there?s a knock on the door.
FWell now who could that be? I say, ?who Fis Fit?? No answer. ?Who Fis Fit??
There?s no answer. ?Who is it!?? They?re not saying anything, so fiFnally I
go over and I open the door and jFust as I suspected, it?s some big fat
hermFaphrodite with a flock of seagull?s haircut and onFly Fone nostril. Oh
man I haFte Fit when I?m right. So anyway he bFurst into my room and grBabbes
beFen just like a snorkel to me.? And he?s like ?touFghF? And I?m like ?give
it.? And he?s like F?Fmake me.? And I?m like ?k.? So I gFrabbed his lFeg and
he grBabbed my oesoBphagus and I Fbit off his eFar and he cheBwed off my
eyBebrows and I took out his appendix and he gFave me a vaFlonic irrigation
yes indeed you better believe it. And FsoFmehow in the middle of it all the
phone got knocked off the hoFokF, and twenty seconds later I hearFd Fa
familiar voice, and you know what it sFaiFd, I?ll tell you what it said, it
said, ?if you?d lFike to mFake a Bcall, pBlease hBang Fup and tFry agBain. BIf yFou
need hFelp hang Bup and thBen dial you?re FopeBrator. If you?d lFike to mFake a
cBall, plBease hBang Fup and tFry agBain. If yFou need hFelp hang Bup and thBen dial
you?re FoperBator. In FA Fm7 B- Bm7lbuFquerque, B FA F Fm7- B Bm7lbuFquerque! Well
to Fcut a long story short he got away with my snorkeFl. FBut I made a solemn
vow right theFn Fand there that I would rest, I would not sleep for an
insFtaFnt until the one-nostriled man was brought to justicFe. FBut first I
decided to buy some donuts. So I gFot in my Fcar and drove oBver to the dBonut
shop and I waFlked right up to the guy behind the cBounter and he says ?Fyah,
wadaya want??

tFooFk a big bite out of his jugular vein, and he?s yFelling and scrFeaming

I'm sorry but the last part I couldn't do because it goes too fast and my fingers are sore.
So just play a bunch of notes scaling from the 20th fret to the 1st on the D string and play that
awkward chord with lots of electronic phony stuff attached to it.

I see this guy Marty tryin? to carry a big old sofa up the stairs all by
F F
himself. So I-I say to him, I say, ?hey, you want me to help you with
F F F F
that? And Marty he just rolls his eyes and goes, ?nooooo I want you to cut
F F B F F F F
off my arms and legs with a chain saw.? So I did. And then he gets all
B B B B F F F F B B B B
indignant on me, he?s like, ?hey mad I was just being sarcastic.? Well
F F F
that?s just great, how was I supposed to know that? I?m not a mind reader
F F
for crying out loud. Besides now he?s got a really cute nickname ?Torso

what?s he complaining about? Say that reminds me of another amusing
F F F F
anecdote; this guy comes up to me on the street and tells me he hasn?t had
F F
a bite in three days. Well I knew what he meant but just to be funny I
F F F F
took a big bite out of his jugular vein, and he?s yelling and screaming
B
and bleeding all over and I?m like, ?hey come on don?t you get it?? But he
F F F B B F
just kept rolling around on the sidewalk bleeding and screaming, YAHHHH!
F B F F
OHHHH! AHHHH! And I?m completely missing the irony of the whole situation,
F F F F F F
man some people just can?t take a joke you know? Anyway, um? um? where was
F F F F F F
I? Kinda lost my train of thought. Oh, uh, well oh okay anyway I know it?s
F F
a roundabout way of saying it but I guess the whole point I?m trying to
F B F B
make is, I, HATE, SAURKROUT! That?s all I?m really trying to say, and by
F B
the way if one day you happen to wake up and find yourself in an
F B F B
exsulstential quandary full of woeing and self doubt and wrapped with the
F B F
pain and isolation of you?re pitiful meaningless existence, at least even
B F
take a small bit of comfort in knowing that somewhere out there in this
B F B F B
crazy old mixed up universe of ours, there?s still a little place, called

I'm sorry but the last part I couldn't do because it goes too fast and my fingers are sore.
So just play a bunch of notes scaling from the 20th fret to the 1st on the D string and play that
awkward chord with lots of electronic phony stuff attached to it.
