1.
D - A -
Some days I feel like bein' wispy
G - D -
and once in a while I feel like bein' dry
F# - G -
but we're doomed and we're drowned by this feeling we surround
D A D -
so I hope that I get old before I die
Chorus:
A - - -
oh
D - G -
It's a long long rope they use to hang you soon I hope
A - D -
and I wonder why this hasn't happened, why why why
D - G Gm
and I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt
D A D -
and I hope that I get old before I die
2.
Clear off the kitchen table darling
for on the kitchen table I must lie
I'm tired for my wife just served the banquet of my life
and I hope that I get old before I die
(Chorus)
