Well you can ride on the fast little wave if [D] that's where you wanna be
But [Em] does the look on your face mean you really feel [D] it?
Do [E] you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg?
A horrible [A] man much too proud to pay
[E] A page from a book that can't be [Em] read at all
Can't you see by the way that they [D] are drawn
[E] That it's not for you to pick up your pistol
[D]
[E] So you wanna see your long legs a-flyin'
Go up to the place where [A] the earth be slayin'

[E] You know what things they don't, [D] you won't give in
[E] You're like a cat that's chasing its tail
[A] Makes a million tricks but you're gonna fail
[Am] [D] Sometimes you just don't [E] understand
