Tom: D5

    D5      C5               F5
    Thirty days, lord and, thirty nights,
        D5       C5         F5
    I'm comin' home on an airplane flight.
    D5      C5              F5
    Momma standin' at the ticket line,
    D5       C5              F5
    Tell me son why do you stand there cryin'?
               D5             F5            C5            G5
    It was the needle, and a spoon, and a trip, to the moon,
             D5    C5     F5     D5
    took me away.


    D5      C5          F5
    I been feelin' so sick inside.
    D5          C5           F5
    Got to get better lord before I die.
    D5       C5              F5
    Seven doctors couldn't help my head, they said,
        D5      C5             F5
    you better quit it son before you're dead.
             D5               F5             C5            G5
    With the needle, and the spoon, with a trip, to the moon,
                     D5        C5   F5     D5
    They'll take you away.


    D5                  C5           F5
    I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool.
    D5        C5         F5
    Then again lord, I seen a lot of fools.
    D5          C5               F5
    I hope the people lord can hear what I say,
    D5           C5              F5
    you'll have your chance to hit it someday.
                        D5             F5         C5            G5
    Don't mess with the needle, or a spoon, any trip, to the moon,
                      D5
    they'll take you away.
