Intro:
C4 C4 C4 G G
C4 In Delaware when I was younger C4 G I would live a life obscene C4 In the spring I had great hunger C4 G I was Brando, I was Dean Em Blaspheming booted blue jeaned baby boy Em Oh, how I made them turn their heads Em The townie brownie girls, they jumped for joy G G7 And begged me bless them in their beds
C4 C4 C4 G
C4 In Delaware when I was younger C4 G I would row upon the lake C4 In the spring I had great hunger C4 G I was Keats, I was Blake Em My pimpled pencilled pains I'd bring Em To frogs who sat entranced Em My drift dream ditties I would sing G G7 The water striders danced
C4 C4 C4 G
C4 In Delaware when I was younger C4 G They thought St. Andrew had sufficed C4 But in the spring I had great hunger C4 G I was Buddha, I was Christ Em You wicked wise men, where's your wonder? Em You Pharisees one day will pay Em See my lightning, hear my thunder G I am truth, I know the way
