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

I WAS JUST A LITTLE DEADHEAD

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

Standin' there, in the morning mist
f# f# e b
a jack and coke at the end of my wrist

though it was nothing at all

hit the santa cruz garden mall
g# f# b b
like a wrecking ball
