[Verse 1]
E                       (Asus4) A      E
I'm not feeding off you, I      will rearrange your scales

March into the ocean,         march into the sea

             G                        Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Had a hat, I put it down and it sunk, reached down, yanked it up

                     Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
And slapped it on my head
[Chorus]
Bsus4
All the people gather

Fly to carry each his burden

If I can, and I can

        E                     (Asus4) A    E
We have many things in common,        name three (three, three, three)

  G                       Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
I had a hat, and it sunk, reached down, yanked it up

And slapped it on my head
