Chords with lyrics

[Intro]
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
E MajorE D MajorD
A augmentedA          BB
I wanna be a sheep
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
E D MajorD A augmentedA  BB

[Verse]
E MajorE                 D MajorD
I was a wolf for so long, howlin' up toward the moon
  A augmentedA            E MajorE
I devoured the defenseless sheep-like balloons
                    D MajorD
That were tied to a railing and would anyway soon
   A augmentedA     BB
Be deflated
E MajorE              D MajorD
I met you in between my carnivorous meals
     A augmentedA             E MajorE
And your hair was so soft and your body was real
                D MajorD
And the layers of leaves blew away to reveal
A augmentedA        BB
A augmentedA new pathway
E MajorE                 D MajorD
Now I'm tryin' to hide my love away, be discrete
      A augmentedA             E MajorE
But you're a reason to change and end my violent streak
             D MajorD           A augmentedA
A majorA reason to be normal, a reason to bleat like a sheep

[Chorus]
BB          E MajorE
I just wanna be a sheep
          BB           A augmentedA
I just wanna be a sheep following right along with the crowds
  BB             A augmentedA
A majorA ballon with my head floating up through the clouds
   E MajorE              D MajorD
And a little white string holding me to the ground
A augmentedA         BB
Could that be you? It could be you
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
E MajorE           D MajorD   A augmentedA
I just wanna be a sheep
E MajorE     D MajorD     A augmentedA    BB
Oh, well, da-di-da-di-da-da

[Verse]
     E MajorE             D MajorD
Now the clock on the wall plays a sinister game
     A augmentedA          E MajorE
It treats every twelve hours exactly the same
               D MajorD
And you cannot return and you can't get away
  A augmentedA        BB
It keeps going
E MajorE                  D MajorD
And everything you've done you can never undo
   A augmentedA            E MajorE
So I know that it's useless to try and be new
                  D MajorD
But when you keep your eye on me, steady and blue
A augmentedA            BB
I keep trying anyways
    E MajorE              D MajorD
And that eye watching me makes me not want to hurt
     A augmentedA           E MajorE
I don't want to draw anymore blood on your shirt
                D MajorD
And I don't want to stay up and paw through the dirt
  A augmentedA
I need sleep

[Chorus]
BB          E MajorE
I just wanna be a sheep
          BB           A augmentedA
I just wanna be a sheep and be gentle and docile and dumb
    BB             A augmentedA
And to hear a voice call me and know I must come
   E MajorE              D MajorD
And a shepherd to lead me and forget where I'm from
A augmentedA         BB
Could that be you? It could be you
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
   E MajorE   D MajorD  A augmentedA
I just wanna be a sheep
E MajorE     D MajorD   A augmentedA  BB
Oh, (howling)  Okay

[Verse]
E MajorE               D MajorD
Yes, I am the one who's been killing the flock
  A augmentedA              E MajorE
I admit it and now that you're over the shock
                  D MajorD
Would you take me and keep me and turn back the clock
      A augmentedA
With your pretty little hand?

[Outro]
BB         E MajorE   D MajorD  A augmentedA
I just wanna be a sheep
E MajorE        D MajorD     A augmentedA
I just I just wanna be a sheep
E MajorE   D MajorD   A augmentedA
Woo! (Howling)
