[Chorus]

    D
I'm Hermit McDermitt, if there's a better way I'll learn it

I'm Hermit McDermitt, my irregular ways confirm it

    D
I'm Hermit McDermitt, in my tower of ivory

If you find me, I'll burn it, you won't see me for dust

There's no one I trust, a Hermit I must be

[Verse 1]

I won't be your criminal, I don't want your laws

Your taxi cabs and cheap kebabs and dingy dancing halls [Instrumental] Dm Am Dm A [Verse 2]

No, I don't want your wedding bells, no top notch salary

It's a cabin in the hills or a cottage by the sea for me [Instrumental] Dm Am Dm A (x2) [Chorus]

I'm Hermit McDermitt, if there's a better way I'll learn it

There's no one I trust, a Hermit I must be

You treated me like an afterthought, and after all I'd done

Subjected me to ridicule, that's your idea of fun [Instrumental] Dm Am Dm A [Verse 4]

Oh, city full of promises and citadels so grand

I said goodbye to you and yours, and left for no-man's land [Instrumental] Dm Am Dm A (x2) [Chorus]

Living in the wilderness brings out the beast in me

I know I'm not the only one, whose scent is on the breeze

One day soon we'll all return and kill you in your beds
