(all chords relative to capo)

Intro: C5 F5 C5 G5

C5                F5
In Delaware when I was younger

C5            G5
I would live a life obscene

C5             F5
In the spring I had great hunger

C5             G5
I was Brando, I was Dean

E5
Blaspheming booted blue jeaned baby boy

E5
Oh, how I made them turn their heads

E5
The townie brownie girls, they jumped for joy

G5
And begged me bless them in their beds

C5 F5 C5 G5

C5                F5
In Delaware when I was younger

C5           G5       
I would row upon the lake

C5               F5
In the spring I had great hunger

C5            G5
I was Keats, I was Blake

E5
My pimpled pencilled pains I'd bring

E5
To frogs who sat entranced

E5
My drift dream ditties I would sing

G5
The water striders danced

C5 F5 C5 G5

C5                F5
In Delaware when I was younger

C5                       G5
They thought St. Andrew had sufficed

C5                   F5
But in the spring I had great hunger

C5             G5
I was Buddha, I was Christ

E5
You wicked wise men, where's your wonder?

E5
You Pharisees one day will pay

E5
See my lightning, hear my thunder

G5
I am truth, I know the way

C5 F5 C5 G5

C5                F5
In Delaware when I was younger
