Am           D            G                C
Where was I? I forgot the point that I was making 

  Am            B                  Em            Em D 
I said if I was smart that I would save up for a piece of string

      C       G        D       G
And a rock to wind the string around
[Pre-Chorus 1]

They want to stop the ones who want

and wear it on my real head
