1.
 D (xx0232@1)         -               A (x02220@1) -
Some days I feel like bein' wispy

     G (320003@1)               -               D (xx0232@1)-
and once in a while I feel like bein' dry

            F# (244322@1)              -              G (320003@1)        -
but we're doomed and we're drowned by this feeling we surround

      D (xx0232@1)             A (x02220@1)          D (xx0232@1)-
so I hope that I get old before I die

Chorus:
A - - -
oh

        D (xx0232@1)       -                G (320003@1)             -
It's a long long rope they use to hang you soon I hope

       A (x02220@1)             -                D (xx0232@1)     -
and I wonder why this hasn't happened, why why why

        D (xx0232@1)            -                  G (320003@1)          Gmand (355333@1)I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt

       D (xx0232@1)         A (x02220@1)              D (xx0232@1)-
and I hope that I get old before I die

2.
Clear off the kitchen table darling
for on the kitchen table I must lie
I'm tired for my wife just served the banquet of my life
and I hope that I get old before I die


(Chorus)
