[Verse 1]
A augmentedA
I'm sailing the seas of red wine
A augmentedA
I'm strumming this nonsense tune
A augmentedA
Addin' my voice to a rebel serenade
A augmentedA
Echoin' off a waxin' moon

[intro x2]

[Verse 2]
A augmentedA
And I've crumpled our paper captain
A augmentedA
Now who will lead this swarthy crew?
A augmentedA
Tear the teeth off the gears, keep 'em as souvenirs, boys!
A augmentedA
The world needs a few good mutineers now

[Chorus]
A augmentedA            F#F#   E MajorE
Sometimes I slumber on a bed of roses
F#F#            E MajorE   A augmentedA
Sometimes I crash in the weeds
A augmentedA           F#F#    E MajorE
One day a bowl full of cherries
       F#F#
One night I'm suckin' on lemons and spittin' out the seeds

[repeat intro] all 4 with fill

[Verse 3]
A augmentedA
I am the fat, native, skinny-dippin', semi-professional tourist
A augmentedA
A majorA gold watch at the bottom of the sea
A augmentedA
Tis time I depose of those petty tyrants
A augmentedA
One on the throne, one inside me

[Chorus]
A augmentedA            F#F#   E MajorE
Sometimes I slumber on a bed of roses
F#F#            E MajorE   A augmentedA
Sometimes I crash in the weeds
A augmentedA           F#F#    E MajorE
One day a bowl full of cherries
       F#F# F#
One night I'm suckin' on lemons and spittin' out the seeds

[Verse 4]
A augmentedA
Bring on the change. Let's keep it simple now
A augmentedA
Don't confuse your wants with your needs
A augmentedA
Believe in love (love!), forsake your greed
A augmentedA
And give away what you want to receive
"what you say?"
A augmentedA
Give away what you want to receive
"what you say?"
A augmentedA
Give away what you want to receive
"what you say?"
A augmentedA
Give away what you want to receive

[Chorus]
A augmentedA            F#F#   E MajorE
Sometimes I slumber on a bed of roses
F#F#            E MajorE   A augmentedA
Sometimes I crash in the weeds
A augmentedA           F#F#    E MajorE
One day a bowl full of cherries
       F#F# F#   E MajorE     A augmentedA
One night I'm suckin' on lemons and spittin' out the seeds

A augmentedA            F#F#   E MajorE
Yeah, Sometimes I slumber on a bed of roses
F#F#            E MajorE   A augmentedA
Sometimes I crash in the weeds
A augmentedA           F#F#    E MajorE
One day a bowl full of cherries
       F#F# F#   E MajorE
One night I'm suckin' on lemons and spittin' out the seeds
