1.
 D           -               A   -
Some days I feel like bein' wispy

     G                 -               D  -
and once in a while I feel like bein' dry

            F#                -              G          -
but we're doomed and we're drowned by this feeling we surround

      D               A            D  -
so I hope that I get old before I die

Chorus:
A - - -
oh

        D         -                G               -
It's a long long rope they use to hang you soon I hope

       A               -                D       -
and I wonder why this hasn't happened, why why why

        D              -                  G            Gm
and I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt

       D           A                D  -
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)
