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

[intro x2]

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

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

[repeat intro] all 4 with fill

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

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

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

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

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