Chorus:
     E           A2 F#m7       B7sus4 B7
I got a SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
E         C#m  F#m7  E/G# A   B7
Stout sailor’s legs and a license to fly
E      A2      F#m7     B7sus4 B7
I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes
E      C#m         F#m7 E/G# A B7
That walk up my long board and hang off the nose

Verse 1:
    Abm
I suppose
A9               Abm7
The need to focus never arose
C#7                   F#m
So something like a Swiss army knife
        B7
That’s my life
Abm       A9               Abm7
Frankenstein had nothing on this body of mine
C#7                F#m      D9(b5)
The villagers still flockin’ to see, to see me
      C7          B7
Breaking free, breaking free

Chorus 2:
 E           A2 F#m7       B7sus4 B7
Cause I got a SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
E         C#m  F#m7  E/G# A   B7
Stout sailor’s legs and a license to fly
     E        A2    F#m7            B7sus4 B7
I got a bartender’s ear and beachcomber’s style
  E    C#m      F#m7 E/G# A B7
Piratical nerve and a Vaudevillian style

Link:
E    A2   F#m7      B7sus4 B7
I    Oo
E    C#m  F#m7 E/G# A B7
I    yi yi yi yi yi

Verse 2:
I suspect I died in some cosmic shipwreck
With all hands spread all over the deck
What the heck
Then some kind of obscene and unscrupulous mind
Began to pick up what he could find
Added ice, shook me twice, Added Ice, rolled the dice

Chorus 3:
Now I got a SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
A sailor’s legs and a license to fly
I got a native tongue from way down south
It sits in the cheek of my gulf coastal mouth

Chorus:
I got a SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
Stout sailor’s legs and a license to fly
I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes
That glide up my longboard and hang off the nose

Outro:
E    A2   F#m7      B7sus4 B7
I    Oo
E    C#m  F#m7 E/G# A B7
I    yi yi yi yi yi
