Chords

[Intro] E C#m A B E (x2)
    E             F#
Oh, I have been smashed again

 A
With the men from the

 B            E        F#
Old Valhalla Road Crematorium

 A                    B
Boring men with the same old patter

 C#m     B     E
I am a simple man

    C#m         B    E
Not much to gain or lose

       E               F#
And I don't know why I held out

            A             B
So long for me and you

          E             C#m
Until he drew a swallow on my neck

     A       B            E
And more, I will not say

     E              C#m
He drew a swallow deep and blue

     A      B            E
And soon, everyone knew

 E            F#
Then I was wrecked again

 A                    B
With the men full of bluff and ardor

        E                   F#      A      B
From a well known funeral parlor

 C#m     B     E
I am a simple man

    C#m         B    E
Not much to gain or lose

 E
Older and wiser

 F#                A    B
Never applies to me

           E             C#m
And so he drew a swallow on my neck

     A       B            E
And more, I will not say

     E              C#m
He drew a swallow, deep and blue

     A      B            E
And soon, everyone knew
[SOLO] E C#m A B E (x2)
 E            F# 
You have been telling me

      A           B
That I have been acting childish

  E                      F#      A      B
Foolish, ghoulish and childish

       C#m     B           E
Oh, I know, I know, I know

   C#m      B E                E
I know, I know but I don't mind

            F#               A           B
I don't mind and I don't mind

   E        C#m    A   B   E  (x2)
I don't mind
