Intro
 A   Dx4
Verse 1
AI'm sailing the Dseas of red wine
AI'm strumming this Dnonsense tune
AAdd my voice to a reDbel serenade
AEchoin' off a waxin' Dmoon
[intro x2]
Verse 2
AAnd I've crumpled our Dpaper captain
ANow who will lead this Dswarthy crew?
ATear the teeth off the gears, keep 'em as Dsouvenirs, boys!
AThe world needs a few good Dmutineers now
Chours
DSometimes I slumber on a Abed of Eroses
ESometimes I crash in the AweedsD  
DOne day a bowl full of AcherriesE  
              E (cut silent)
One night I'm suckin' on lemons and spittin' out the seeds
[repeat intro]
Verse 3
AI am the fat, native, skinny-dippin', Dsemi-professional tourist
AA gold watch at the Dbottom of the sea
ATis time I depose of those Dpetty tyrants
AOne on the throne, Done inside me
[chorus]
[repeat intro]
Verse 4
ABring on the change. Let's keep it Dsimple now
ADon't confuse your wants with your Dneeds
ABelieve in love (love!), forDsake your greed 
AAnd give away what you want to reDceive
"what you say?"
AGive away what you want to reDceive
"what you say?"
AGive away what you want to reDceive
"what you say?"
AGive away what you want to reDceive
[chorus x2]
