Bridge / Jam D F C D

I would go 1000 miles

I would change my life style

I would dance the whole night thru 

If i could just come home with you

I could work the live long day

I would take a cut in pay

I would do what I gotta do

If I could just come home with you

I would climb a really tall tree

I would talk about birds and bees

I would live in a whole in the ground

I would move to another town

I’d rent a rustic cabin

And get a horse and wagon

I’d sing a country tune

I would howl at the moon

Chorus (instrumental) w/ howls

I would make your lunch today

I would throw the trash away

I would make you breakfast in bed

Or serve it on the deck instead

I would take you to a show

I score an ounce of blow

I would get you shrooms and weed

If that’s what you said you’d need

I would by thrift store clothes

I’d put an earring in my nose

I’d put a tattoo on my leg

You wouldn’t even have to beg

I’d wear a purple tie dye

I’d put liquid in my eye

I would do the full spring tour

And be an t-shirt entrepreneur

well it used to be easy for me to hang out and get high

what you're going through is killing you / now you're shooting me the evil eye

you holler at me, it's ugly to see / you hurt yourself and lose your pride

'cause the villain in me is in ecstasy / and i'm taking it all in stride

Riff x2. 

all the rumors will start, don't let 'em tear us apart  / don't let our love become unbound

want to talk to you to see you through.  / some things ain't worth the fight

you know me well enough to try and act tough.  / what we had was love at first sight

you point at me confused at what you see / means something you can't find

don't wanna give in, take a look within  / you gotta stop and check your mind, right now

Sing it to me now...

Chorus

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore, To get your prescription filled

I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy, And man, did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda, My favorite flavor, cherry red

I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy, Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead" I said to him

I like to rock and roll, I like a good deejay

I like to walk thru, a mountain village
i like to talk to, a friendly face

i like to be with, the ones i love
I like to be with, the one I love

i like to feel the rain, I like to escape the pain
I like to feel the sun, I'd like to take a run

I like to be alive, I like to see you thrive
I like to see you grow, I like to let it flow

Jam?

I like to ride my bike, i like to take a hike

These are a few of my favorite things, I like the joy they bring
I hope that every day, Will bring these things my way

When you think about your life, You know that you're alright
Keep your light shining bright, we'll keep it goin all night

And when you need a friend, I'm with you til the end

I'll listen to your fears, I have an open ear

I like checking out art, I like watching a movie
I like seeing a band, that I think is groovy

I new a girl Her name was truth,    She was a horrible liar

She couldn’t spend one day alone, But she couldn’t be satisfied

When you have everything You have everything to lose

She made herself a bed of nails And she’s planning on putting it to use

A candle throws its light into the darkness, In a nasty world so shines a good deed

Make sure the fortune that you seek, Is the fortune that you need

Tell me why the first to ask, Is the last to give every time

What you say and do not mean Follows you close behind

Funka make you fly and funka make you high

Funka make you jump and funka make you hump

Funka funka funka funka funka funka funka bump

Intersperse an Em/A rhythmically. 

Listen to a story bout a man named jed, Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed

And then one day he was shootin at some food,, And up through the ground come a bubblin groove. Funk that is. Solid Gold. No Melody Tea.

See Funk Don’t Need No Melody.

Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin, I came to win, battle me that's a sin

I won't ever slack up, punk you better back up, Try and play the role and yo the whole crew'll act up

Get up, stand up (c'mon!) throw your hands up, If you've got the feeling, jump across the ceiling

Muggs lifts a funk flow, someone's talking junk Yo I bust him in the eye, then I'll take the punk's hoe

Feelin',    funkin',    amps in the trunk and I got more rhymes Than there's cops at a Dunkin' 

Donuts shop Sho' nuff, I got props From the kids on the hill plus my mom and my pops

I came to get down, I came to get down So get out your seat and jump around!

Jump around!        Jump around!                 Jump around!

Jump up, jump up and get down!, Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)

Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!, Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump) Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

Get up offa that thing, And dance 'till you feel better.. Relieve that pressure…

Tear the roof off, We're gonna tear the roof off the mother sucker. Tear the roof off the sucker

You've got a real type of thing goin' down, gettin' down, There's a whole lot of rhythm goin' 'round

Oww, we want the funk, give up the funk, Oww, we need the funk, we gotta have the funk

A G F E jam       ==>

Intro: C G gage F G  gage     C G gage F

         G

They tell me of a pie up in the sky,

F

Waiting for me when I die,

       G

But between the day your born and when you die,

         F

They never seem to hear even your cry

             Em                                                      Am

But as sure as the sun will shine, Gonna get my share of what's mine,

                       G                                                F                                                     C

And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall,  One and all.

        G                                             F                                                      C

The harder they come, the harder they'll fall,   One and all.

Well, the oppressors are tryin' to keep me down,

Tryin' to drive me under ground.

They think that they have got the battle won,

I say forgive them lord they know not what they done.

Chorus

INTRO…

But I'll keep on fightin' for the things I want

Though I know that when your dead you can't

But I'd rather be a free man in my grave

Then livin' as a puppet or a slave

Jam.

Then Repeat song to the INTRo.

Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou.

My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh.

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fil* gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin',

kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen.

Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh.

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Chorus

Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue

and I'll catch all the fish in the bayou.

Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o.

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Chorus
