VERSE
D C G
There once was a poodle who thought he was a cowboy
D C G
He lived in a cage the size of his thumb
D C G
And though his white horse was a box of toothpicks
D C G
He galloped around til he was hit by a car
D C G
Sometimes I flap my arms like a hummingbird
D C G
Just to remind myself I'll never fly
D C G
And sometimes I burn my arm with a cigarette
D C G
Just to pretend I won't scream when I die
CHORUS
C G
If my life was as long as the moon
C G
I'd still be jealous of the sun
C G
If my life lasted only one day
Am C G
I'd still be drunk by noon
Am C G
Yes I'd still be drunk by noon
WHISTLING SOLO
D C G (repeat x4)
VERSE
D C G
Sometimes I hope to come down with cancer
D C G
At least then I get to stay in bed and watch TV all day
D C G
And on my deathbed I'll get all the answers
D C G
Even if all my questions are taken away
CHORUS
C G
If my life was as long as the moon
C G
I'd still be jealous of the sun
C G
If my life lasted only one day
Am C G
I'd still be drunk by noon
Am C G
Yes I'd still be drunk by noon
