          E7
I'm gonna spend all my money

      E7
Gonna spend all my time

    E7
I'm gonna spend the music

E7
'Cause the music is mine

    E7
I'm gonna spend myself

        E7
For the sake of the rhyme

         A7                       E7
But I'll save a little bit for my father

      A7                       E7
Gonna save a little bit for my father
[Chorus]
    E7
I'm gonna pack my suitcase

      E7
Gonna run to the sea

    E7
I'm gonna run as far

     E7
As I can away from me

    E7
I'm gonna take comfort

       E7
In the town of the tree

        A7                          E7
I would stop but then I wouldn't go farther

               A7
And that would really break the heart

      E7
Of my father
La la la da da da... [Verse]
      E7
Gonna spend all my money

      E7
Gonna spend all my time

    A7
I'm gonna spend the music

           E7
'Cause the music is mine

    E7
I'm gonna spend myself

        E7
For the sake of the rhyme

         A7                       E7
But I'll save a little bit for my father
[Chorus]
    E7
I'm gonna pack a suitcase

      E7
Gonna run to the sea

        E7
And I'm gonna run as far

     A7
As I can away from me

    E7
I'm gonna take comfort

       E7
In the town of the tree

        A7                          E7
I would stop but then I wouldn't go farther

               A7                           E7
And that would really break the heart of my father
