The riff repeated throughout the verses can be played several different ways. There's
not a lot of footage of the boys playing this song live, so it's hard to tell what they
actually play. I like the first better for solo acoustic, and the second for dirty electric.
Either way, pick one, and play the A and Esus4 riffs when it says A and Esus4, respectively.

A Esus4 I never thought of this as funny A Esus4 It speaks another world to me A Esus4 I wanna be your Easter bunny D B Esus4 I wanna be your Christmas tree A I'll strip the world that you must live in Esus4 A Of all its godforsaken greed Esus4 A I'll ply the tar out of your feathers Esus4 D B I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet

A Esus4 And if I choose your sanctuary A Esus4 I'll want to wash you with my hair A Esus4 I'll want to drink of sacred fountains D B Esus4 And find the riches hidden there A I'll eat the lotus and peyote Esus4 A I want to hear the caged bird sing Esus4 A I want the secrets of the temple Esus4 D B I want the finger with the ring
