🎸 Intro:

FF C majorC FF C majorC Bb majorBb DmDm G+G


🎸 Verse 1:
     A minorAm       G+G
She's a box car rollin' by
     A minorAm        G+G
Like a black star in the sky
     A minorAm        G+G
She's a failure once or twice
     A minorAm               G+G
Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy ice

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm             G+G
Flowers fly when we grow old
A minorAm              G+G
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
     A minorAm        G+G
She's an eagle out on the road
A minorAm                  G+G
Like my favorite Beatle everyone bought and sold

🎸 Chorus:
FF          C majorC
All of my love and half my kisses
FF        C majorC
 Superstar don't do the dishes
Bb majorBb        DmDm        G+G
I just want the great apes to be free
FF         C majorC
 Come on now, you lazy cowboy
FF           C majorC
 Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Bb majorBb        DmDm      G+G
I just want the great apes to be free

🎸 Verse 2:
     A minorAm        G+G
She's a rain bird on the prowl
     A minorAm                  G+G
Like an urge to be yourself that you won't allow
     A minorAm       G+G
She's a forest that we burned
    A minorAm                   G+G
Just a blueprint for a life that we had never learned

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm            G+G
Flowers fly when we grow old
A minorAm             G+G
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
     A minorAm         G+G
She's a lynch mob on the street
    A minorAm               G+G
Take another step and I will kill the beat

🎸 Chorus:
FF          C majorC
All of my love and half my kisses
FF        C majorC
 Superstar don't do the dishes

I just want the great apes to be free
FF         C majorC
 Come on now, you lazy cowboy
FF           C majorC
 Heads or tails, but not right now, boy

I just want the great apes to be free

🎸 Verse 3:
     A minorAm         G+G
She's a bus stop, glockenspiel
     A minorAm                  G+G
She's a simulation life that you thought was real
     A minorAm       G+G
She's an image that we blurred
     A minorAm              G+G
It's a pixelated panther, now let it purr

🎸 Chorus:
FF          C majorC
All of my love and half my kisses
FF        C majorC
 Superstar don't do the dishes
