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)

-E.M.
