D MajorD
Beneath the trees of the Casbah
G+G             D MajorD
Beneath the roots of those trees
    E minorEm   D MajorD
On the casket floor
    E minorEm   D MajorD
On the casket floor
G+G                  D MajorD
Bottom of me, it feels so complete

Repeat Intro

D MajorD
Around my childhood museums
G+G          G+G
There stand Chinese guards
    E minorEm     D MajorD
One of them has a bell
    E minorEm     D MajorD
One of them has a bell
  G+G                     D MajorD
Who rings when I come too close or leave too far

D MajorD                      G+G       D MajorD
You might say that it's reckless, you might say that it's wild
    E minorEm         G+G          D MajorD
But I'd rather be nobody's man than somebody's child

Repeat Intro

D MajorD
Now there's splinters in my fingers
G+G                 D MajorD
And there's portland cement in my lungs
    E minorEm      D MajorD
I got a hammer and a cough
    E minorEm      D MajorD
I got a hammer and a cough and
G+G                     D MajorD
All of my friends speak in foreign tongues

Repeat Intro

D MajorD
There's an ugliness growing up inside me
G+G               D MajorD
From where it has come I don't know
     E minorEm    D MajorD
I left my sweetness beside
  E minorEm    D MajorD
My sweetness beside
   G+G            D MajorD
That girl I goodbyed long ago

D MajorD               G+G       D MajorD
They might find my body at the bottom of the pile
    E minorEm         G+G          D MajorD
But I'd rather be nobody's man than somebody's child

Repeat Intro

D MajorD
Such plans they have, such God's they have
G+G           D MajorD

Deep in this nation of heat
      E minorEm    D MajorD

We've been outdone again
      E minorEm    D MajorD

We've been outdone again and
G+G                    D MajorD

All of my friends they walk on their feet

D MajorD                  G+G     D MajorD

And a congress of jackals will put a tax on my smile
    E minorEm         G+G          D MajorD
But I'd rather be nobody's man than somebody's child

D MajorD                G+G      D MajorD
I might move to Las Vegas, live there for a while
      E minorEm         G+G
'Cause I'd rather be nobody's, nobody's, nobody's
E minorEm             G+G          D MajorD
Yes I'd rather be nobody's man than somebody's child
