G D B G Under my hat I know the lines are all imagined G D B Em A fact of life I must impress on my little girls G D B G I know my place amongst the creatures in the pageant G B And there are flowers in the garbage G D And a skull under your curls

Note: I initially had the verse second part of the verse chords as
Am E G E Ace of spades, Port of Morrow, life is death is life.

by the bass and used an F, part of me is still unsure about it.
