Intro and verse tab:

E|--0-0--3-3--5-5
A|---------------

Wahoo wahoo wahoo, wahahoo wahoo, etc etc

You're livin' in your own private idaho, livin' in your own private Idaho
Wow! On the ground like a wild potato, don't go on the patio!
Beware of blue, bottomless blue
The things you scrape right through the gate
That opens on the blue

E|--0-3-4-3-
A|---------- (repeat a bunch of times)

E                       G
You're livin' in you're own private idaho, 
A                                 B
You're livin' in your own private idaho

Give up the pat, run the gate
Watch out for signs that say "It ain't that way"
Don't let the curry in your eyes
Blind you to the open suprise!
Wait for you at the bottom of the bottomless blue blue blue

E|--0-0-0-0--3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3 (repeat numerous times)

back to verse tab

You're livin' in your private Idaho, Idaho!
You're outta control, the rivers that roll
You fell into the water and out a water hole
Get outta that state, get out of the state you're in
Better beware

E|--0-3-4-3-
A|---------- (repeat a bunch of times)

chorus chords:

You're livin' in you're own private idaho, 
You're livin' in your own private idaho
Give up the patio, give up the pat
Its a long nine degree which you better not be seen
Look at though you got nature's thing
Down to a pole wrought with danger
It's a room full of strangers

E|--0-0-0-0--3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3 (repeat numerous times)

back to berse tab

You're livin' in you're own private idaho
Where do I go from here? To a better state than this
Don't be blind to the big suprise
Swimmin' round and round like the dead leaf heads
Love the radium clock
At the bottom of the blue

E|--0-3-4-3-
A|---------- (repeat a bunch of times)

GUITAR SOLO AND YELLING OVER CHORUS CHORDS

Get out of that state!
Get out of that state!

A             G           A        G     A      G           A      G
You're livin' in your own private idaho, livin' in your own private 
A  G  A  G (hold)
Idaho
