[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G D I was born about ten thousand years ago D G There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know C G I saw Peter, Paul and Moses playin' ring-around-the-roses D G And I'll whup the guy what says it isn't so (Now listen to this)
[Verse 2]
G D Well, I'm just a lonesome traveler, and a great historical bum D G Highly educated from history I did come C G I built the Rock of Ages, it was in the year oh one D G And that's about the niftiest thing that Man has ever done G (Ah yeah, thunder. Yeah. Ain't a wise young whippersnapper feller.)
[Verse 3]
G D I saw Satan when he looked the garden o'er D G I saw Adam and Eve driven to the door C G And behind the bushes peeping, saw the apple they was eating D G I'll swear that I'm the one what ate the core (Talk about the garden)
[Verse 4]
G D Well I built the garden of Eden, it was in the year two D G Formed the apple-pickers union and I always paid my dues C G I'm the man who signed the contract for the risin' of the sun D G And that's about the sweetest thing that Man has ever done G (Hand fold face flag, all this) G (Fly like a rag, yeah, goodies)
[Verse 5]
G D Now sweet Elizabeth, she fell in love with me D G We were married in Milwaukee secretly C G And I got tired of sugar and ran off to get a hooker D G At a bass-eater's down in Tennessee
[Verse 6]
G D I was in the revolution when we set this country free D G It was me and a couple of Indians that dumped the Boston tea C G I won our independence fightin' with George Washington D G And that's about the biggest thing that Man has ever done (Top that.)
[Outro]
G D I was born about ten thousand years ago D G There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know C G I saw Peter, Paul and Moses playin' ring-around-the-roses D G And I'll whup the guy what says it isn't so
