Danny Carlisle
From Vic's 1990 album "Little"
Verse 1:
C majorC FF C majorC C majorC
He wanted a tree fort more than anything
A minorAm G+G FF FF
Yes he wanted to build and defend one on his own
C majorC FF C majorC A minorAm
But the neighbor boys' BB seige was overwhelming
G+G FF C majorC C majorC
So he a-won't be building his dream tree fort anymore
Verse 2:
C majorC FF C majorC C majorC
He received a five-speed Schwinn for Christmas
A minorAm G+G FF FF
So he built a ramp out of the plywood and a stump
C majorC FF C majorC A minorAm
And at nights he dreamed Evel Knievel
G+G FF C majorC C majorC
And a canyon to jump in a-his backyard
Chorus 1:
FF G+G A minorAm G+G
Danny um-Carlisle, he don't give a shit about the Contras
FF G+G A minorAm G+G FF
Danny um-Carlisle, he's barely grown and he's used up most of his options
FF FF
And still he would rather dream, dream, dream
FF C majorC C majorC
And still he would rather dream than fuck
Verse 3:
C majorC FF C majorC C majorC
Once he used a pocket knife to kill a garden snake
A minorAm G+G FF FF
Yes he chopped that evil serpent into fours
C majorC FF C majorC A minorAm
And when he raised his eyes to heaven as a soldier
G+G FF C majorC C majorC
He wiped the blood of bad snake on his shirt
Chorus 2:
FF G+G A minorAm G+G
Yeah Danny um-Carlisle, he don't give a shit about the Contras
FF G+G A minorAm G+G FF
Yeah Danny um-Carlisle, he's barely grown and he's used up most of his options
FF FF
And still he would rather dream, dream, dream
FF C majorC C majorC
And still he would rather dream than fuck
C majorC C majorC
