b b e b
Well now boys, I'm a rollin' stone
f# f# e b
thats what i was when i first left home
e e b b
took every secret that i'd ever known
g#m f# e e
and headed for the wall
g# f# b b
like a wrecking ball
b b e b
started down on the holy road of sin
f# f# e b
playin bass under a pseudonym
e e b b
the days were rough and its all quite dim
g#m f# e e
but my mind cuts through it all
g# f# b b
like a wrecking ball
e e b g#
I WAS JUST A LITTLE DEADHEAD
e b e b
WHO'S WATCHING WHO IS WATCHING
g# g# e e
I's JUST A LITTLE DEADHEAD
b b e b
Fallen daughter on a scholarship
f# f# e b
Well I got tired and let my average slip
e e b b
then i's a farmer in the pogonip
g#m f# e e
where the weed that i recall
g# f# b b
was like a wrecking ball
b b e b
met a lovesick daugher of the san joaquin
f# f# e b
she showed me colours i'd never seen
e e b b
drank the bottom of my canteen
g#m f# e e
then let it fall
g# f# b b
like a wrecking ball
b b e b
Standin' there, in the morning mist
f# f# e b
a jack and coke at the end of my wrist
e e b b
yes i remember when first we kissed
g#m f# e e
though it was nothing at all
g# f# b b
like a wrecking ball
e e b g#
hey boys little deadhead
e b e b
who's watching who is watching
g# g# e e
i was just a little deadhead
b b e b
With too much trouble for me to shake
f# f# e b
Oh, the weather and the blindin' ache
e e b b
was ridin' high until the '89 quake
g#m f# e e
hit the santa cruz garden mall
g# f# b b
like a wrecking ball
