[A] [N] Hello there, Paul.
I had a take and I listened to it and I was ready to send it and I [A] thought, you know, it can be done better.
[D]
[Em] [D] [A] So here it is then.
Now I'm wearing my boots, which always guarantees a good showing.
[D] [Em]
[G] [A] [D]
[Em] [G]
[A] [G] [D]
You must try to lead [G] a good life.
[D] You must do unto others as you would have them do so that when you die,
[G] you'll find golden boy peanuts
[D] waiting in the afterlife for you.
There are no pan-asian [G] supermarkets down in hell, so you can't [D] buy golden boy peanuts.
There are no pan-asian [G] supermarkets down in hell, so you [D] can't buy golden boy peanuts.
Yeah.
[Em]
[G] [A]
[D] If thine enemy [A] oppresses you,
[G] you must let [A] him oppress you [D] some more
so that when you go shopping [A] in paradise, you'll [G] find those [D] magnificent peanuts.
Sing a [G] poor wind drawing up the young [D] Chinese farmer.
[A] Eastern sun behind [D] him smiling at you from the shelf.
Wanna spend [A] eternity in happiness?
Well, [G] we're [D] gonna have to watch ourselves.
You must [A] give to the march of times.
[G] You must be on [A] guard against [D] wickedness at all times.
And you will find that your efforts [A] have brought you great [G] joy
when your [A] spirit is munching [D] on that golden boy.
There are no pan-asian [G] supermarkets down in hell, so you [A] can't buy golden [D] boy peanuts.
But the streets of heaven [Em] are lined [G] with shells,
and there's billboards [A] of the golden [D] boy everywhere.
There are no pan-asian [G] supermarkets down in hell, so you can't [A] buy golden [D] boy peanuts.
There are no pan-asian [G] supermarkets down in hell, so you can't [A] buy [D] golden boy peanuts.
Go!
