Chords

[Intro] D Em G A D Bm G Asus2 A7 [Chorus]
        D                Em G            A
I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye

D              Bm         G          A
Stout sailor’s legs and a license to fly

            D         Em        G             A
I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes

     D           Bm            G            A
That walk up my long board and hang off the nose
[Verse 1]
     F#m      Bm                   F#m
I suppose the need to focus never arose

   Bm                          Em
So something like a Swiss army knife

          A
That’s my life

       F#m       Bm                      F#m
Frankenstein had nothing on this body of mine

    Bm                          Em          G
The villagers still flockin’ to see, to see me

         Em7            A     A7
Breaking free, breaking free
[Chorus 2]
              D                Em G            A
Cause I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye

D              Bm         G          A
Stout sailor’s legs and a license to fly

        D            Em   G                  A
I got a bartender ear and beachcomber’s style

  D       Bm               G       A
Piratical nerve and a Vaudevillian style
[Link]
D       Em      G       A
I

D       Bm      G       A
I       yi  yi  yi  yi  yi
[Verse 2]
     F#m    Bm                      F#m
I suspect I died in some cosmic shipwreck

     Bm                            Em
With all hands spread all over the deck

         A
What the heck

F#m               Bm                       F#m
Then some kind of obscene and unscrupulous mind

  Bm                           Em
Began to pick up what he could find

      G             Em                A     A7
Added ice, shook me twice, rolled the dice
[Chorus 3]
            D                Em G            A
Now I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye

D              Bm         G          A
Stout sailor’s legs and a license to fly

        D            Em    G              A
I got a native tongue from way down south

   D           Bm          G            A
It sits in the cheek of my gulf coastal mouth
[Chorus]
        D                Em G            A
I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye

D              Bm         G          A
Stout sailor’s legs and a license to fly

            D         Em        G              A
I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes

     D           Bm            G            A
That walk up my long board and hang off the nose
