           C5                F5                C5            F5
When I was crowned a mummy's boy by friends I didn't like
         C5               F5              C5             F5
I made a million trips to school upon my father's bike
          Bb5              C5                 Eb5             D5 C5
I used to sit between his legs, perched on a piece of wood
           Bb5        C5           Eb5      D5  C5   G5 C5
If it ever rained on us, I'd slip beneath his hood
                          F5  Ab5 F5
And at home the radio was on

Bb5         Ab5 Eb5 Bb5             Ab5 Eb5 Bb5
>From Julie Andrews        to Jerry Garcia
             G5        C5   Ab5 F5 Bb5
Life was all fun and games
             Ab5 Eb5 Bb5                 Ab5 Eb5 Bb5
I was out of my    head      and underneath my    bed
              G5         C5   Ab5
Playing with electric trains


            C5         F5
At home the stereo was on
            C5          F5
My head was filled with rock
           C5             F5
I played a willow cricket bat guitar
    C5               F5
And soloed round the clock
   C5                 F5
My records stacked up in a pile
   C5              Ab5
Collected from the charts
           F5   Bb5
And Top of the Pops


REFRAIN


BRIDGE:
=======
G5
Kneeling with torchlight

Shining before me
C5
In my bed my eyeballs stuck in readers wives
Eb5
Pubic hairs proudly counted everyday
F5                                         Bb5
Manhood took me slowly out into the milky way

      Bb5

             C5                  F5
I chased the girls and made them cry
             C5           F5
My hair grew down my back
            C5            F5
The passing of my teenage years
               C5          F5
Was spent down in the sack
         Bb5                  C5
I played guitar and formed a band
           Eb5             D5 C5
I puked up all night long
          Bb5              C5
As people came to sit and stare
              Eb5      D5 C5    G5 C5
While I raced through my songs
                             F5
The sound of music passed me by
     Ab5            F5   Bb5
Just like the Grateful Dead
