INTRO DOm FA DOm FA
DOm FA DOm FA
When I was crowned a mummy's boy by friends I didn't like
DOm FA DOm FA
I made a million trips to school upon my father's bike
SIb DOm MIb REm DOm
I used to sit between his legs, perched on a piece of wood
SIb DOm MIb REm DOm SOL DOm
If it ever rained on us, I'd slip beneath his hood
FA SOL# FA
And at home the radio was on
REFRAIN:
SIb SOL#/SIb MIb/SIb SIb SOL#/SIb MIb/SIb SIb
From Julie Andrews to Jerry Garcia
SOL DOm SOL# FA SIb
Life was all fun and games
SOL#/SIb MIb/SIb SIb SOL#/SIb MIb/SIb SIb
I was out of my head and underneath my bed
SOL DOm SOL#
Playing with electric trains
DOm FA
At home the stereo was on
DOm FA
My head was filled with rock
DOm FA
I played a willow cricket bat guitar
DOm FA
And soloed round the clock
DOm FA
My records stacked up in a pile
DOm SOL#
Collected from the charts
FA SIb
And Top of the Pops
REFRAIN
BRIDGE:
SOL
Kneeling with torchlight
Shining before me
DO
In my bed my eyeballs stuck in readers wives
MIb
Pubic hairs proudly counted everyday
FA SIb
Manhood took me slowly out into the milky way
ADLIB: Bb Ab/Bb Eb/Bb (3x)
SIb
DOm FA
I chased the girls and made them cry
DOm FA
My hair grew down my back
DOm FA
The passing of my teenage years
DOm FA
Was spent down in the sack
SIb DOm
I played guitar and formed a band
MIb REm DOm
I puked up all night long
SIb DOm
As people came to sit and stare
MIb REm DOm SOL DOm
While I raced through my songs
FA
The sound of music passed me by
SOL# FA SIb
Just like the Grateful Dead
REFRAIN
(repeat to end)
