[Verse 1]
D C G D F I don't care about your karma, I don't care about what's hip, G Bb D F No space cadet's gonna tell me what to do. D C G D F I won't swim in your jacuzzi, you can't make me settle down, G Bb D I'd rather kick and jump and bite and scratch and scream until I'm blue. G A Bm A G I may as well be hyper as long as I'm still around, D D4 D G D 'Cause I'll have lots of time to be laid back when I'm six feet underground.
[Chorus]
A G D I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead. A G D I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead. G D G A When are you cosmic cowboys gonna get it through your heads? Bm A G A D I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.

[Verse 2]
D C G D F I can't stand the smell of incense, I don't really like to jog, G Bb D F No Joni Mitchell 8-tracks in my car, ooh... D C G D F I hate anything organic, even health food makes me sick. G Bb D You won't catch me sipping Perrier down in some sushi bar, I tell you! G A Bm A G Now's the time to go for all the gusto you can grab, D D4 D G D You'll have plenty of time to be low-key when you're laid out on the slab.
[Chorus]
A G D I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead. A G D I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead. G D G A When are you cosmic cowboys gonna get it through your heads? Bm A G A D I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead. A Bm A G A D I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.

[Bridge]
N.C. A7 D I don't want no part of that vegetarian scene, I won't buy me a pair of designer jeans, A7 Am7 A7 D D7 No redwood hot tub to my name, I got all that I want and if it's all the same to you. G7 F#7 Bm I don't need a course in self-awareness to find out who I am. N.C. A7 A D And I'd rather have a, a Big Mac or a Jumbo Jack than all the bean sprouts in Japan.

[Verse 3]
D C G D F So don't ask me what I'm into, I don't need to prove I'm cool, G Bb D F I'll break your arm if you ask me what's my sign. D C G D F I won't tell you where my head's at, I don't need to see no shrink, G Bb D Psychosis may be in this year but I'm really not that kind. G A Bm A G And I'm in no hurry to be casual, in fact, I think, I'll wait. D N.C. Until I'm pushing up the daisies like wow, man, can you relate?
[Outro Chorus]

A Bm A G A D I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead. A Bm A G A D I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead. A Bm A G A D I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
