When I / ran on a hilltop / followin' a pack of wild / geese,

Clergy men in uniform, and / young girls pulling / mussels,

Every - / one was there to / greet me when I stepped in - / side,

E               / E  -  D      /  A      

Newspaper / men eatin' / candy,

E                    / E    -      D    -    / A

Had to be held / down by big po - / lice.

A                         / A     -   D           / A

Someday, every - / thing is gonna be / different,

           / E         /                        / A

When I / pai - ai / aint my master - / piece.
