Start Jamming...
[D] When I was a child, [G] I was a [Dm] land hand with a truck
That would feed the poor, [Am] who [D] were the slaves of the farm
Back where I go to town, [G] there's a house [A] down the river
So many times, the memories are [Dm] born
Now, they don't want you taking me [G] back to meet a [D] bird cat
They'd rather be with [A] me, with a paradise land
[D] Well, I'm sorry my son, [G] but you're too [Dm] big and nasty
Mr.
Peabody's corn [A] trays, I won't give any [D] away
Sometime we'd travel [G] right down the grain [D] road
To the abandoned world prison [A] down by Averill
[D] Well, the air stinks, sneaks, [G] we'd shoot [Dm] to our death
It'd be five dollars, [A] with all that we'd [D] kill
Now, [Am] [D]
they don't want you taking me [G] back to meet a bird [D] cat
They'd rather be with me, [A] with a [D] paradise land
Well, I'm sorry my son, [G] but you're too big [D] and nasty
Mr.
Peabody's corn trays, [A] I won't give any [D]
