D G D G D G D G
I don't know just where I'm going
D G D G D<---- end of riff 1, strum
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom if I can this chord, and the
G D rest of the chords
Cos it makes me feel like I'm a man
G D
When I put a spike into my vein
G D
And I tell ya things aren't quite the same when you hit the word
G D "know" at the end of the
When I'm rushing on my run verse, the D chord marks the
G D beginning of riff 1 again,
And I feel just like Jesus' son which contintues until the

And I guess that I just don't know this pattern continues thru

When I'm closing in on death

D G D G D G D G
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago

On a great big clipper ship
G D
Going from this land here to that
G D
Oh, in a sailor's suit and cap
riff2 2X
G D
Away from the big city

Where a man can not be free

Of all the evils of this town

Her_____oin, it'll be the death of me
D G D G D G
Her_____oin, it's my wife, and it's my life

Because a mainline in my vein
G D
Leads to a center in my head
G D
And then I'm better off as dead
riff2 4X
G D
Cos when the smack begins to flow
G D
Oh, I really don't care anymore
G D
'Bout all the jim-jims in this town
G D
And all the politicians making crazy sounds
G D
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
G D
And all the dead bodies piled up in Nam
riff 2 4x
G D
Cos when the smack begins to flow
G D
And I really don't care anymore
riff 2 2x
G D
When that heroin is in my blood
G D
And the blood is in my head
G D
Then I thank God that I'm as good as dead
G D
And thank your God that I'm not aware
G D
And thank God that I just don't care
G D
And I guess that I just don't know
G D G D G
And I guess that I just don't know
