[Intro]

[Verse]

          E7
I'm gonna spend all my money
      E7
Gonna spend all my time
    E7
I'm gonna spend the music
E7
'Cause the music is mine
    E7
I'm gonna spend myself
        E7
For the sake of the rhyme
         A7                       E7
But I'll save a little bit for my father
      A7                       E7
Gonna save a little bit for my father

[Chorus]

    E7
I'm gonna pack my suitcase
      E7
Gonna run to the sea
    E7
I'm gonna run as far
     E7
As I can away from me
    E7
I'm gonna take comfort
       E7
In the town of the tree
        A7                          E7
I would stop but then I wouldn't go farther
               A7
And that would really break the heart
      E7
Of my father

La la la da da da...


[Verse]

      E7
Gonna spend all my money
      E7
Gonna spend all my time
    A7
I'm gonna spend the music
           E7
'Cause the music is mine
    E7
I'm gonna spend myself
        E7
For the sake of the rhyme
         A7                       E7
But I'll save a little bit for my father


[Chorus]

    E7
I'm gonna pack a suitcase
      E7
Gonna run to the sea
        E7
And I'm gonna run as far
     A7
As I can away from me
    E7
I'm gonna take comfort
       E7
In the town of the tree
        A7                          E7
I would stop but then I wouldn't go farther
               A7                           E7
