[Verse 1]
F C/E G/B C
Very old and free is this voice I heard
F/A Am G/B C/E
Echoed in the breeze and the buffalo herds
F/A Am G/B C/E F
All that I learned from the beasts and these birds is it's home to me
G/B C/E F C G C
And that's all right when they sing "Hooyip, hooyip, hoo hoo"
F C/E G/B C
Burial at sea is this bus stop line
F/A Am G/B C/E
According to the customs and creed of this culture, my tribe
F/A Am G/B C F
But that was never me, that request was not mine
C G/B Am
I wanted to choke on the rifle smoke
F C G/B Am
Yeah, I wanted to go down with my right hand broke
F
Come on, yeah
C G/B C
I wanted to go down with my right hand broke
[Chorus]
F/A G/B
'Cause in the motorcade, I'm a runaway
F/A G/B
And I'll never change, not tomorrow
F/A G/B F/A G/B
La da da da da da da da da
[Verse 2]
F C/E G/B C
Safe and merrily, a life dignified
F/A Am G/B C/E
Rapids on the stream make the wild ride
F/A Am G/B C
Your life is but a dream if you bide and bide
F C G/B Am
But I'll be on that boat when the water's white
F C G/B Am
Yeah, I wanted to learn to love before I die
F
Come on, yeah
C G/B C
I wanted to learn to love before I die
[Chorus]
F/A G/B
'Cause in the motorcade, I'm a runaway
F/A G/B
And I'll never change, not tomorrow
F/A G/B F/A G/B
La da da da da da da da da
[Bridge]
G F/A
Somebody said "Hey, is there any end in sight?"
G/B Am F G
Somebody said "Hey", to this foolish, fruitless ride
[Chorus]
F/A G/B
In the motorcade, I'm a runaway
F/A G/B
And I'll never change, not tomorrow
F/A G/B
In the motorcade, I'm a runaway
F/A G/B
And I'll never change, not tomorrow
F/A G/B F/A G/B
La da da da da da da da da
F
Come on, yeah
C G/B C
I wanted to go down with my right hand broke
