Verse 1
D MajorD
Long ago in days of yore
    D MajorD
It all began with a god named Thor
      B minorBm
There were Vikings and boats
     D MajorD
And some plans for a furniture store
   D MajorD
It's not a bodega, it's not a mall
       D MajorD
And they sell things for apartments smaller
   D MajorD
than mine, As if there were apartments smaller than mine

Chorus
 Asus4Asus4
I-ke-a (Ikea-a) just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
 Asus4Asus4
I-ke-a (Ikea-a) selling furniture For college kids and divorced men
A7A7
Everyone has a home
  D MajorD
But if you don't have a home you can buy one there

Verse 2
  D MajorD
So rent a car or take the bus
     D MajorD
Lay your cash down and put your trust
    D MajorD
In the land where the furniture folds to a much smaller size
     D MajorD
Billy the bookcase says hello
       D MajorD
And so does a table whose name is Ingo
    D MajorD
And the chair is a ladder-back birch but his friends call him Karl

Chorus

I-ke-a (Ikea-a) just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen

I-ke-a (Ikea-a) selling furniture For college kids and divorced men
A7A7
Everyone has a home
  D MajorD
But if you don't have a home you can buy one there

F#F#
Ikea: plywood, brushed steel
A augmentedA
Ikea: meatballs, tasty
F#F#
Ikea: Allen wrenches
D MajorD
All of them for free
F#F#
All of them for me

Verse 3
  D MajorD
I'm sorry I said Ikea sucks
        D MajorD
I just bought a table for 60 bucks
   D MajorD
And a chair and a lamp And a shelf and some candles for you
    D MajorD
I was a doubter just like you
        D MajorD
'til I saw the American dream come true
    D MajorD
In New Jersey, they got a god damned Swedish parade

Chorus
