Well there's slim times when my words won't rhyme
C F
And the hills I face are a long hard climb
G C F C
I just sit cross legged with my old guitar
Am G F7
It kind of makes me feel like a rock and roll star
Am7
Well it makes me laugh Lord it makes me cry
C F
And I think for once let me just get high
G C F C
Let me get electric put a silk suit on
Am G F7
Turn my old guitar into a tommy gun
