Intro: Am G F Am E Am G F Am E Verse: Am G F Am E Well, a-souvenirs on my dusty shelf Am G F Am E Well I get out the Tarn-X, and I polish them myself Am G F Am E Yes posters are falling, but who needs them at my age Am G F Am E Well I’ve learned to smile when all I feel is rage Bridge:
Am G E F So I think I will go to Bakersfield with Gabriel and Paul Am G E F F And I will hide behind the garbage can while the holy platitudes fall Chorus: C G And blow the gates, I am a-coming through Am D With my albatrosses and all Am D And it's strategy not protocol Am D Yes it's strategy not protocol F F That brings me here Outro: Am G F Am E Am
