Title: In the Days of the Caveman
Tabbed by: Unknown


[Intro]

      Abm
      When you go on camping trips,
      F#                        B        Abm   B
      You're stuck right out in nature.
  E                F#                                       
      Foraging the forests like a primate.
  E                   F#                           Abm   B
      Using sharpened tools instead of hot plates


 [Verses]

        E
   Your thumb and forefinger
        Sometimes when I lie awake,
        when I finally get to sleep,

        F#                            B             Abm   B
        supposed to show you're not a wild beast.
        I hear the rainfall on my     tent fly.
        I dream in Techni             color.

        E                  F#
        You can hear their noises at night time
        I think of all the insects that are sleeping,
        I see creatures    come back from the Ice Age

        E                  F#                        Abm   B
        They don't have to keep a certain bed time.          
        and wonder if the  animals are dreaming.             
        alive and being    fed inside a zoo cage.

 [Chorus]

   F#         Abm          E
   See in the shapes of my body
   F#       Abm            E                  F#
   leftover parts from the apes and monkeys

 [Extended Chorus (play 2nd and 3d time through)]

   C                  D
   In the days of the caveman,
       G             Em
   and mammoths, and glaciers.
   C                        D
   Bugs and trees were your food then
   G              Em         C   G
   no pajamas, or doctors.
