Heads or Tails - Shannon and the Clams (Dreams in the Rat House, 2013)
Intro:
E MajorE A augmentedA (strummed)
Do what I want, do what I want (x2)
E MajorE A augmentedA
Do what I want, do what I want (x2)
E MajorE A augmentedA
I'm a real live hobo, I prefer my life on the rails
E MajorE A augmentedA
I keep a coin in my pocket, my only friend is head or tails
E MajorE A augmentedA
I had a wife and a family I let them fend on their own
E MajorE A augmentedA
You only count on yourself, hope they appreciate what they've been shown
C# minorC#m
Sometimes I flip the coin
E MajorE
Oh yeah I flip the coin
C# minorC#m
Oh I flip the coin
E MajorE
Ya I flip the coin
E MajorE A augmentedA
Do what I want, do what I want (x2)
E MajorE A augmentedA
I hopped the Union Pacific headed to Cliforniyay
E MajorE A augmentedA
I rubbed the coin in my pocket and wondered just what they'd say
E MajorE A augmentedA
I was met with open arms, warm bed, and fam was back in my lap
E MajorE A augmentedA
She said "don't leave us again for that drink you use as a map"
C# minorC#m
But then I flipped the coin
E MajorE
Oh yeah I flipped the coin
C# minorC#m
Oh yeah I flipped the coin
E MajorE
Ya I flipped the coin
E MajorE A augmentedA
Do what I want, do what I want (x2)
E MajorE A augmentedA
Sometimes a man gets an itch to take a nip off a scotch or rye
E MajorE A augmentedA
With every sip there's a flip, fates been chosen no need to try
E MajorE A augmentedA
I love sleeping under stars watching woods and worlds zooming by
E MajorE A augmentedA
My life's the flip of the coin, it's the freest way to live and die
C# minorC#m
Because I flipped the coin
E MajorE
Oh yeah I flipped the coin
C# minorC#m
Oh yeah I flipped the coin
E MajorE
Ya I flipped the coin

Do what I want, do what I want (x4)
E MajorE A augmentedA
I do what I want, yes I do, I do what I want
E MajorE A augmentedA
I could have anything, but I prefer nothing
E MajorE
I don't need a house, I don't need a hug
A augmentedA
I don't need stuff, I don't need love
E MajorE A augmentedA
I don't need things, I don't need books, I don't need you
E MajorE
