Kind of like a boom-chuck strum.

Verse 1


E7E7                                    B7B7
When I was a rover, met a four leaf clover, she was Irish as the day was long
E7E7                  A augmentedA
I thought she'd give it to me maybe, now she's married with a baby
B7B7              E7E7
I've been dodging bullets all along
E7E7
Man, we would creep but never lost no sleep, I would cut cat nip into the
B7B7  E7E7              A augmentedA               B7B7
weed, nobody was the wiser but they could have been higher and it meant more
     E7E7
money for me

E7E7 F#F# E7E7       B7B7   E7E7  E7E7 F#F# E7E7       B7B7   E7E7
days, years are going by like days. Days, years are going by like days.

Verse 2(Same as above)


School bus, I got on it, I was nearly catatonic,
I couldn't speak a goddamn word Homeroom class, forge a hall pass and we would get
higher than the birds
My foolish nature, the chase for the paper, I would deal in the broad daylight
18 years old, head full of psilocybin and howling at the moon all night

A augmentedA          E7E7         E7E7               B7B7
Small town shadows, clean out of sight, nothing to fear but the coming of

that morning light
A augmentedA            E7E7       C# minorC#m           A augmentedA  B7B7
Ducking and dodging and diving for that rent, if it couldn't be broken, it
     E7E7
could be bent

Verse 3(Same as above)


Washing dishes, stealing kisses, making our deals on the side
She said are you ready honey, we got gas money, going on a real long ride
Lying like a rug, prescription drugs, old guitars, new girlfriends
Everybody shunned me, I just thought that it was funny and I'd do it all over again

Chorus(Same as above)
